45mm MDF changes how you approach a build. It gives you real thickness from the start, not something achieved by bonding layers together later. You are working with a panel that already carries weight and stability in a single piece. It simplifies decisions on site. It reduces overbuilding. It delivers results that feel intentional, balanced and properly engineered for demanding interior projects across the UK.
What is MDF 45mm?
MDF 45mm is a dense engineered wood panel. It is made by compressing fine wood fibres with resin under heat and pressure. It forms one solid, uniform board rather than layered sections. Because it is manufactured rather than cut from timber, it contains no grain direction, knots or natural weak points. The internal structure remains even throughout the thickness. This uniformity makes the board steady during machining and more predictable when accuracy is important.
Available in 2440mm x 1220mm and 3050mm x 1220mm sheet sizes. Manufactured to BS EN 622-1 and EN 622-5 standards and classified as non-structural for interior use. Supplied with square edges and a smooth sanded finish, and ready for painting or staining. Formaldehyde rating E1, with E05 options available, with supporting documentation provided. CARB2 compliant and FSC-certified. Standard medium density fibreboard grade for internal applications.
What is 45mm MDF sheet used for?
A 45mm MDF sheet is chosen when a project needs depth that is both strong and visually appealing. This is the thickness that works when the panel itself must carry presence, not just act as a surface.
In UK homes, it often appears in substantial floating shelves that rely on concealed steel brackets, where thinner boards would flex. It works for kitchen islands where deep end panels create shadow lines and a solid, architectural look. In period properties, it suits deep window boards and oversized skirting in high-ceiling Victorian rooms, where proportion matters just as much as strength.
In commercial settings, the same thickness becomes practical rather than decorative. Reception desks gain impact without built-up panels. Retail plinths and display units hold weight without internal over-engineering.

How heavy is 45mm MDF?
It’s heavy. A full 2440 x 1220mm sheet usually weighs around 55-60 kg.
What screws for 45mm MDF?
Standard wood screws are fine. Just drill a pilot hole first, MDF doesn’t like screws forced straight in. For most jobs, something around 60 to 70mm works well, depending on what you’re fixing into. You want enough bite without blowing the back out.
MDF 45mm is a composite panel product consisting of cellulosic fibres compressed with a synthetic resin or other ideal bonding system and joined together under extreme heat and pressure. For light carpentry projects, such as shelving and trim, 45mm MDF can be excellent.
