Medium Density Fiberboard, a valuable commodity!
Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is an useful engineered wood product. It is useful because of its physical properties and applications and as it outweighs drawbacks with benefits!
Medium density fiberboard has some unique physical properties which makes it a useful engineered wood product. MDF or medium density fiberboard is moisture resistant. This is especially useful in increasing the durability of any byproduct of medium density fiberboard like furniture and sports equipment as they are prone to accidents like water being spilled! It is also a fire retardant which means in a fire accident, it burns slower than other wood products increasing chances of saving any products made by them! In case of a school or commercial property this could save millions of dollars in saved furniture. Fiberboard an important classification of MDF panels as it is sound proof. This property is especially useful in construction process in high traffic areas to block all the unwanted noise and in sound proofing floors in a multistory residence! Hence, medium density fiberboard have been proven amongst top construction materials!
Also, medium density fiberboard have many advantages over raw wood or other type of wood byproducts. It is an excellent substrate for veneers, thin slices of wood used in doors, tops, panels for cabinets, floors and other types of furniture. Furniture made with this kind of wood uses less wood than the same piece of furniture from solid wood! This is the same reason why they are used in marquetry by artists! Medium density fiber boards are also less expensive than many raw woods hence they are used in construction. It is isotropic which means less susceptible to split. As wood gets older, it develops cracks and splits in to two or more parts which downgrade the value of any furniture or other products made from wood but in the case of MD F, it increases the product lifeline! It is flexible and...
