Standard suits most cabinet and furniture parts. Plus gives a better surface for paint and laminate. High Plus has the most refined fibre, for routed doors and detailed edges.
No. It handles humidity and occasional moisture better than standard MDF, but it isn't made for exterior use or standing water.
HDF is pressed to a higher density, so it's thinner, harder and stronger for its size. It's often used for drawer bottoms, door skins and backs.
Fire-retardant panels are treated through the core, so they keep their rating when cut and machined. Confirm details with the product's listing.
No. MDF is an interior, non-structural panel. For sheathing or load-bearing uses, choose plywood or OSB.
Yes. MDF can ship with plywood, particleboard and other specialty panels in one full or mixed truckload.
