What is medium density fiberboard used for?

Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is a composite product used in many home and professional projects, such as furniture, cabinetry, flooring and even speaker boxes due to its smooth finish, machinability, strength and consistency.

All Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is made using a process similar to that of particleboard: wood fibers, mixed with resin, are compressed and heated to form durable panels. Under the Medium density fiberboard (MDF) umbrella, however, are a few other types beyond the “regular” Medium density fiberboard (MDF) that are made especially for certain applications.

Bendy

Bendy MDF, also called flexible MDF, is processed to allow the panel to bend and curve to whatever shape you’d like. Just like regular MDF, it can be painted, veneered or laminated to create one-of-a-kind pieces. It is most often used by architects and designers to create pieces with dramatic curves and slopes, all in much less time and with fewer expenses than using other materials.

Fire Resistant

There are some places in which it’s preferable (or even required) to use fire retardant materials in construction. In order to ensure that you are buying legitimate fire retardant MDF, the panel must be certified by a reputable body like UL. Fire-retardant MDF is often used in commercial buildings, including stores and offices, to adhere to building codes and requirements. However, fire retardant MDF can also be used in homes for extra protection against a potential fire.

Moisture Resistant

On the other side of the spectrum is moisture resistant MDF, which is designed for damp environments. Standard MDF doesn’t even have to touch water to warp as it will swell both in length and thickness with even the slightest change in humidity. Moisture resistant MDF (abbreviated to MR MDF) is manufactured using special resin that imparts moisture resistance. It is often used in places like bathrooms, kitchens and flooring where humidity is a concern.
