Specifications
MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is a commonly used particle board. It is made by mixing wood fibres, waxes and resins then hot pressing it to different thicknesses. Its main advantage compared to other particle boards and timbers is its clean finish and lack of natural imperfections. Additionally, our MDF boards are FSC Certified, making them extremely environmentally friendly. Due to its dense fibre body, MDF remains strong and holds its form if installed correctly. With massive stocks available, you can always rely on Builders Marketplace for all your MDF needs.
Practical uses of the Black Melamine MDF include bathroom and kitchen furniture and skirting and window boards . Its base of Standard MDF with a black melamine coating adding an extra desirable quality above standard MDF material. Because our MDF is manufactured without grain or knots, it’s easy to apply paints and veneers to its face side for full customisation. This smooth surface also contributes to the ease of cutting screwing and gluing of the boards, as well as making them easy to clean and maintain.

How do I finish the edges neatly?
Use edge banding, router‑trimmed edges or seal with suitable edge sealant to match look.

Does the board darken or lighten over time with exposure to light?
