For people who like cheap but strong alternatives to solid wood, MDF wood can be used. What is MDF Wood?

　　MDF is an abbreviation for engineered wood. The full name is "medium density fiberboard". MDF is composed of thin boards made of wood fiber, resin, and wax. When it comes to engineered wood, MDF is generally considered to be higher than the level of plywood. It is denser, stronger, and more durable. For these reasons, it has almost as many uses as solid wood.

　　Many homeowners tend to underestimate MDF wood because it believes that MDF wood has poor performance compared to solid wood. However, as we mentioned at the beginning, both solid wood and MDF wood have their advantages and disadvantages. In some cases, MDF is the first choice.

　　Before introducing the pros and cons of the MDF Wood Board, it must be noted that there are many types of man-made wood. They vary with density, size, glue type, moisture content, wood type, and thickness. The thicker and denser the MDF board, the higher the cost.

　　Why choose MDF Wood Board?

　　In the family, MDF Wood Board is mainly used to build cabinet doors. In fact, solid wood cabinets will choose MDF doors. There are several reasons.

　　MDF Wood will not warp or crack. MDF, like wood, expands and contracts when temperature and humidity fluctuate. But unlike Wood, MDF does not warp. This is because the plate can move as a whole due to its structure. Even if the humidity and temperature change greatly, you don't have to worry about damaging the cabinet door.

　　The MDF board is made of very fine particles, which means it has no obvious particles. This can produce a better and smoother surface effect, especially when painting wood panels. If you plan to paint cabinet doors, we strongly recommend that you use MDF instead of solid wood.

　　Easy to customize. There are many styles of cabinet doors. There are vibrating screen cabinet doors, flat doors, embedded doors, raised doors, and so on. The ease of customization of MDF boards is thanks to this diversity. Due to their structure, MDF boards can be cut and drilled in many different ways without causing any damage.

　　Some boards have better water resistance. If you plan to use MDF panels in areas with high humidity such as bathrooms, you can purchase specially manufactured MDF panels with high water resistance.

　　Can provide larger size than Aluminium Foil Board. If your project requires a large piece of wood without seams, MDF is recommended. Look at the similarities between MDF and solid wood in Wellborn Cabinets.

　　Finally, MDF is usually cheaper than solid wood, but it is still very strong and can last a long time with proper maintenance.

　　The downside is that the MDF board is easily scratched and cannot be repaired thereafter. This is different from wood that can be sanded to eliminate surface damage. In addition, MDF boards are not effective when exposed to extremely high temperatures because the core material may be damaged. This is why the MDF board is not a good material for outdoor furniture.
