Flame Retardant MDF This is used where there is a higher than normal risk of fire, in schools, hospitals or hotels, for instance. There are two classes of flame retardant MDF, B and C, class B has been tested and approved to be fire-resistant MDF for 60 minutes, using the same tests class C is fire-resistant for 30 minutes. Melamine Faced MDF is an excellent choice for furniture, and cabinets due to its stability and strength. Here are some of the significant advantages of MDF: Versatility MDF can handle anything you do with it. You can nail, cut, and shape it. During production, the fibres are made by grinding wood chips. The fibres distribute themselves to form a homogenous panel. The panel comes in various thicknesses with smooth edges which can be moulded to different shapes. The small size of fibres creates a flat, smooth surface. Therefore, you can overlay MDF with decorative coatings like veneer and melamine. The exterior also produces a clean paint finish making it ideal for cabinets and furniture. MDF doesn’t expand or contract on exposure to heat or humidity. Economic and Environmental-Friendly MDF sheets are made from wood chips which are waste products from wood. Many people perceive it as the perfect way to further recycle and conserve trees. Furniture made of MDF is cheap in comparison to those made from plywood.
