Over the last few years, a growing trend in the furniture industry has been the rise of MDF as a material of choice for furniture makers and consumers. MDF- Medium-Density Fiberboard, is widely used in most furniture pieces and is widely accepted as the primary choice due to its superior quality and uniformity compared to other wood alternatives like plywood and particleboard. It has also recently gained popularity due to its versatility; MDF can be cut into almost any shape, making it more versatile than wood.
While it was once considered an industrial and commercial product solely, engineered wood manufacturers and furniture makers have worked to improve its strength and appearance over time, making it suitable as an option for everyday use. But what does this mean for you as a customer? Here’s everything you need to know about the rise of MDF and why you should choose it over wood, metal, or any other material!
WHY IS MDF ECONOMICAL?
There’s a big reason why everyone’s moving towards MDF furniture, from manufacturers down to consumers. It’s price. Compared to other types of furniture, it is significantly budget-friendly. Medium Density Fiberboard is made by breaking down hardwood into wood fibres, combining it with a resin binder and wax to form panels made using high temperature and pressure. MDF is an engineered wood that is as good as wood. In fact, you can get decent quality pieces for about a third of what you would spend on real wood furniture. The versatile, flexible, adaptable, and environmentally-friendly Medium Density Fiberboard can be routed, cut, and perforated in any direction to create futuristic masterpieces that you desire for any application- be it home space or office. In addition, its uniformity means that imperfections are far less visible in finished products. With these qualities in mind, it should come as no surprise that so many large manufacturers began relying on MDF exclusively instead of using a mix of materials in their projects.
