Why MDF
MDF has no grain to telegraph through paint, so it gives a flawless, uniform painted or lacquered finish in any colour. It machines cleanly for routed and shaker fronts.
Where we use it
Painted kitchen fronts, wardrobes and panels. We pair it with moisture-resistant board in wet areas.
All MDF cabinetry is cut and finished to your exact sizes, colours and hardware.
