What is MDF

MDF is a popular board material that can be used for countless projects. MDF belongs to the family of fibreboards. The board consists of wood fibres that are compressed under high pressure. This makes the material easy to process: when milling and sawing, the material does not splinter. The fibres are held together by resin. This makes it important to degrease the material properly before painting.

MDF Blank

MDF Natural is the most standard form and is often chosen because of its smooth surface and because it is easy to process. It has not yet received any further finish and can therefore be treated entirely as you wish. It can therefore also easily be treated with a concrete look paint or concrete ciré. MDF Clear is available in many different thicknesses so there is a suitable board for everyone.

MDF Paint Carrier

MDF Paint Carrier is provided on both sides with a paint-carrying film which makes priming the material unnecessary. The foil greatly reduces the absorbing effect of the material. The foil is on both sides, so that the risk of the material working is minimal. It is therefore very suitable for making, among other things, indoor furniture that you want to paint with, for example, a concrete look paint.

MDF Grounded

MDF Primed is provided with a primer on both sides so that you can immediately start painting or varnishing. The absorbing effect of MDF is also reduced by the primer. It is therefore very suitable for making, among other things, indoor furniture that you want to process and give a concrete look. With MDF Paintable, the top layer is pressed on instead of a primer that is sprayed on, as is the case with MDF Grounded. MDF Ground feels rough and has a light grey colour. MDF Painted Carrier is whiter in colour and has a smoother feel.

MDF Moistureproof V313

MDF Moisture Proof is the best choice for interior projects in slightly damp areas such as the bathroom and possibly the kitchen. In the case of MDF Moisture Resistant, a special type of waterproof glue is used to enhance the moisture resistant properties. Just like MDF Clear, it is important to prime the material well before processing it, this way the paint will be absorbed less and you will strengthen the moisture resistant properties of the material.

MDF Exterior

MDF Exterior is the best choice for outdoor projects. In MDF Exterior, a special type of waterproof glue is used, the wood fibres are modified for extra water resistance and it is pressed under higher pressure than other types of MDF. This process makes the material resistant to external influences. The treatment of MDF Exterior is very important for the water resistance. This is done by first priming the material and then coating it with a lacquer suitable for outdoor applications. The ends are best treated with edge sealant before priming.
