The many benefits of MDF
have led to its becoming
the popular and functional
choice in furniture construction.
Manufacturers of school,
home and office furniture
and accessories include
it in the construction of
desks, high quality marker
boards, work surfaces, pillars,
and other products. It is
very strong, provides longevity,
and is resistant to warping
that occurs over time, caused
by moisture. Consumers benefit
with cost savings compared
to real wood, because MDF
boards are man-made from
wood fibers, rather than
particles. Compressed with
adhesive, its surface is
smooth, so it's easy to
apply varnishes, laminates,
and paints directly to the
surface. Plus, it's easily
cut, drilled and machined.
Landfill waste is reduced,
deforestation slowed and
habitat preserved, because
it's possible for MDF to
be made from 100% recovered
wood fiber. Compared to
particle board, MDF is stronger,
more dense, and boasts superior
resistant to warping that
may often occurs over time.

Originally invented
in the 1960s, the
usage of medium
density fiberboard
has expanded into
all areas of construction.
While similar to
other compressed
products, such as
particle board or
hardboard, MDF board
offers superior
qualities. It's
U.S. industry standard
is: ANSI A208.2,
"Medium Density
Fiberboard for Interior
Use".
Many office and
household furnishings
utilize MDF board
their construction.
MDF boards can be
finished very smooth,
and they may also
be grain-printed.
