Expecting a few more for dinner over Christmas or other large social gathering. We can produce MDF Table Top Extensions to sit on top of your existing table. MDF can’t be stained. Not only does it soak up stain like a sponge, but also because there’s no wood grain on MDF, it looks awful when it’s stained. (Kind of like staining particle board. Why would you bother?) MDF stands for medium-density fibreboard and is an engineered wood-based sheet made by bonding together wood fibres with a synthetic resin adhesive and pressure. Can I cut MDF by hand? As a far cheaper alternative to solid wood, our veneer laminated MDF boards are an accessible option for those wanting to give the strength and looks of solid pure wood. Maintainable

Our cutting technology is extremely accurate. With us, you can get melamine MDF cut to extremely high tolerances. Our professional cutting systems can create sheets prepared to 0.1mm accuracy, eliminating the need for additional cutting once boards arrive. Natural wood expands and contracts according to the surrounding temperature. MDF will never expand, warp or change shape even when it’s used to build outdoor projects.MDF offers several advantages that make it a popular choice for various applications. Firstly, MDF is a versatile and affordable material, making it accessible for a wide range of projects. It has a smooth and uniform surface, allowing for easy cutting, shaping, and painting. MDF is also highly stable and resistant to warping and shrinking, making it durable over time. Additionally, it has consistent density throughout, which enhances its strength and screw-holding capabilities. Moreover, MDF is an environmentally friendly option, as it is made from recycled wood fibres and does not contribute to deforestation. Actually, we’re going to do this “pop quiz” style. Are you ready? Don’t be nervous! There will be no failing grades handed out in this class. 🙂

This type of engineered wood is no grain as it is made from tiny bits of natural wood, glued, heated, and pressurized. Having no grain makes MDF easier to drill and even cut with a power saw or handsaw. You can also use woodworking routers, jigsaws, and other cutting and milling equipment on MDF wood and still preserve its structure. When my son and I built his desk PC, I chose to use 1/2 inch plywood that came pre-sanded on one side. Partially because I felt that plywood would be a better material and partially because, frankly, it was available at my local lumber yard. To use MDF I would have had to drive an hour to a Lowe’s or Home Depot. In the end, it worked out fine but if I had it to do over again I think I would have used MDF, at least for the bottom. Hindsight is 20/20
