MEDIUM DENSITY FIBERBOARD (MDF)

MDF outperforms solid wood in the construction of painted cabinet doors. MDF panels can be milled by computer operated machinery in one piece frames with the center cut out for a recessed panel. The inserted panel does not need to float like a traditional solid wood constructed door because of the density of the inserted MDF panel. Because the MDF panel doesn’t float, like a solid panel does, hairline cracks do not form along the edges of the panel or at the style and rail joinery. MDF will expand and contract but with the two piece construction method the doors move as a unit and not as individual pieces of wood. Therefor the paint does not crack or peel at the joints.

MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is available in much larger sizes than solid wood. These larger sheets can be custom milled to suit your needs. MDF does not have a visible grain on the surface like solid wood, because of that there is not a problem with wood grain and knots bleeding through paint or stain.
Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is often a better value when considering cost. Solid wood is often more expensive and not as readily available as MDF. We only provide the best MDF manufactured products available today to ensure you are getting top quality Medium Density Fiberboard.
