15mm MDF

MDF 15mm is a medium density fibreboard used across a wide range of interior projects, from furniture and wall panels to decorative and technical applications. The panel has no knots or grain, which means you can rout, drill, and profile it in any direction without tearing the surface. 15mm MDF sheets take paint and primer easily, creating an even, smooth finish that looks the same across every panel. Professionals trust it for steady performance and clean results every time. Beginners find it easy enough to work with once they get started. For anyone, it is a simple and affordable way to get a smooth, durable finish.

Types of 15mm MDF

Every 15mm MDF board has its role to play. The range covers everything from standard panels for everyday joinery to moisture resistant and decorative sheets for specialist interiors.

• A standard 15mm MDF sheet is the foundation for most workshop projects. It has a smooth, even core that cuts neatly and leaves crisp edges. Ideal for furniture carcasses, wall linings, shelving, and cabinet doors.
• 15mm Lightweight MDF is a practical option when easy handling matters. It keeps the smooth finish and strength of standard MDF but weighs less, making it simpler to lift, cut, and install. This board works well for ceilings, displays and decorative joinery, where reduced load and quick fitting are priorities.
• 15mm moisture resistant MDF (MR) is designed for interior rooms that deal with steam or splashes. It has a dense core that helps prevent swelling, making it reliable for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas.
• Fire Rated 15mm MDF (Euroclass B) is used in areas where certified fire protection is required by building standards. It performs like standard MDF but provides tested flame resistance and stability in dry interior conditions.
• 15mm White Melamine Faced MDF has a smooth white coating on both sides. It gives a bright and clean look without any painting required. The surface feels firm and smooth. It is simple to look after and keeps a neat appearance. Builders often use this board for wardrobes, shelves, wall panels, or everyday furniture. The MDF core stays firm and flat. It cuts neatly and allows accurate detailing work.
• Medite Tricoya Extreme 15mm MDF is a high-performance board designed for demanding conditions. It works like regular MDF but is much stronger and made to last even in tough environments. The board resists moisture, rot, and fungal decay keeping its form even outdoors or in humid spaces.

FAQ

How much weight can 15mm MDF hold?

That depends on what you are building. A 15mm sheet can take a fair load if it is fitted well and has enough support underneath. Builders often use it for cupboards or shelves that hold books or kitchen items. If it starts to bend, add a bracket or use thicker MDF next time.

What size screws for 15mm MDF?

Builders usually choose screws made for MDF or chipboard. Pick a length that gives a firm hold in the supporting surface without going too close to the edge. Always drill a small pilot hole first to keep the board clean and crack free.

How to cut 15mm MDF?

Use any saw with fine teeth. Fix the sheet so it does not move, and take your time with the cut. Many builders mark a line first and use a steady hand. Once done, give the edge a quick sand to keep it smooth.
