FAQ

Plain MDF — Common Questions

MDF is engineered from fine uniform wood fibres giving a smooth, knot-free surface ideal for painting and lamination. Plywood is cross-laminated veneers — structurally stronger and better for nailing at edges. Choose MDF for smooth surfaces, plywood for structural work.

For kitchen shutters, specify Prelam HDF or HDHMR — not standard MDF. For kitchen-area furniture (not in the wet zone), MR Grade MDF is acceptable. For under-sink and wet-zone applications, always specify BWP/BOILO-grade HDF.

Yes — MDF is excellent for painting. Use White Primer MDF for the best painted finish (avoids fibre-furring). Our Spray Finish service applies factory-quality primer and lacquer in a controlled dust-free environment, giving a mirror-smooth result no brush can achieve.

18mm MDF REG grade is standard for wardrobe bodies, sides and shelves. Prelam MDF 18mm with matching prelam thin board backs (2.5–3mm) for the rear panel is the typical complete wardrobe specification.
