MDF

From cladding to cabinets, MDF (medium density fibreboard) is used in all kinds of DIY projects. You get all the benefits of timber with a smooth finish that has no grains or knots.

It’s this tidy finish that makes MDF boards easy to paint, veneer or apply adhesives to - ideal for any number of projects around the home. MDF has the best of both worlds: the light flexibility to cut into various shapes and sizes, and a dense fibre body for a strong hold.

Thanks to its inexpensive nature, using MDF panels or MDF sheets cuts decorating costs - whether you’re using it for wardrobes, shelving, bookcases, boxing-in or other joinery tasks. Once primed and painted, you won’t be able to tell it apart from natural wood.
