22mm MDF

A 22mm MDF sheet is used where strength and reliability are important. It is a strong board that feels solid and stays flat once fixed. Many builders choose it because it works the same every time. The surface takes paint well and gives a clean, smooth finish with little effort.

This type of MDF board has no knots or grain, so there are no weak spots inside. It does not move or twist like timber can. The result is a steady, smooth sheet that looks right and stays in shape through years of use.

What is MDF 22mm?

MDF is a medium density fibreboard. It is created by pressing fine wood fibres with resin until they form a dense, uniform panel. That structure gives MDF 22mm its solid core and the perfectly smooth surface that decorators value. It feels stronger and more stable to work with because it is thicker than regular boards. It is great for built-in cabinets, wide shelves, and any other place that needs extra support. There is a 22mm moisture resistant MDF version that is good for humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms. It can handle humidity just fine once the edges are sealed and painted.

What is 22mm MDF sheet used for?

22mm MDF sheet is a strong, smooth board used for many types of interior work, including:

• Furniture making. Ideal for cabinet sides, doors, and carcasses that need a solid, high-quality feel.
• Shelving and storage. The extra thickness prevents bending under heavy loads and keeps shelves flat.
• Wall panels and partitions. Creates a stable, even surface that is easy to paint, veneer, or laminate.
• Decorative joinery. Works well for feature walls, mouldings, or routed designs that require clean edges.
• Worktops and plinths. Provides firm support and a smooth base for finishing materials.
• Moisture prone areas. The 22mm moisture resistant MDF version is suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms once the edges are sealed and painted.

Each use takes advantage of the board’s strength, stability, and uniform surface that delivers a professional finish with minimal preparation.

Types of 22mm MDF

• Standard 22mm MDF. The regular type that most builders start with. Smooth, easy to cut, steady in shape. It works well for furniture, shelving, and wall panels in dry rooms.
• 22mm Moisture Resistant MDF. If you are working in kitchens, bathrooms, or utility areas, go for 22mm moisture resistant MDF. It uses special resin to reduce swelling and performs better in damp conditions once properly sealed. Uses: damp zones, humid interiors, faster-finishing paintwork.
• Premium / high-quality 22mm MDF. Used for decorative jobs and where the finish must be perfect. The board is denser and flatter, so cuts come out clean and paint goes on evenly.

Each type keeps the same clean look and predictable behaviour that makes MDF 22mm so popular on site. You just choose the one that fits your space. Available sheet sizes: 2440 x 1220mm (8’ x 4’); 3050 x 1220mm (10’ x 4’).
