Veneered MDF

Most people understand MDF (Medium Density Fibreboards) but don’t know much about veneered MDF. Here, you will learn more about veneered boards, various applications to use them and why Veneered MDF suits many different projects, where a clean, natural finish is needed.

What Is Veneered MDF?

Veneered MDF board is manufactured from high-quality wood veneers firmly attached to medium density fibreboards. Usually, the panels have 0.5mm veneer coating on the two sides.

Although the veneer finish meant to simulate typical solid wood, there are other reasons for utilising veneer coat on MDF. Thanks to the veneer finish, the designers can develop wood variations used in the same way as natural wood. Generally, these options are given to the clients as cost-effective and safer options since the veneer coat protects the fibreboard and makes it safe for use.

Typically, Veneered MDF panels are produced in different face grades. Most boards come with a higher grade on the front and slightly lower grade on the back, often referred to as A/B faces. The top layer is real timber veneer, which gives the panel its natural grain, warm colour and familiar character of wood. The MDF core keeps the sheet stable and smooth, so it handles well during cutting and fitting. Because of this combination, Veneered Medium Density Fibreboard offers the look of solid wood in a lighter and more consistent form. Builders often choose it when they need a natural finish at more a practical cost, making it a reliable option for furniture, wall panels and many interior projects.
