Why Choose MDF Over Timber?

Here’s what makes MDF a reliable, go-to option for mouldings:

Smooth Surface, Ready to Paint

MDF comes with a smooth primed surface – no knots, splits, or grain to worry about. You’ll get a smart, consistent finish with less prep and less paint.

Easy to Cut and Fit

MDF is easier to work with than timber – no chipping, no splitting, and no grain direction to fight against. Perfect for quick turnarounds and tidy finishes.

Moisture Resistant Options

Moisture-resistant MDF (MR MDF) is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, or anywhere with high humidity. It holds its shape and doesn’t swell or crack over time.

Defect-Free and Dimensionally Stable

MDF is made to be uniform. That means no knots, no warping, and no surprise defects. It stays straight, cuts cleanly, and makes for a quicker install.

Low Maintenance

Once it’s fitted and painted, MDF mouldings stay looking smart with minimal upkeep. No sanding or filling cracks down the line.

Cost-Effective

MDF is more affordable than hardwood mouldings and creates less waste. You’re getting a consistent, high-quality material at a good price.

Sustainable and Certified

All our MDF mouldings are FSC® certified – responsibly sourced and better for the planet.

Installation Tips for MDF Mouldings

Installing MDF mouldings can be straightforward. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth process:

Gather Your Tools

Before starting, gather all necessary tools. You’ll need a saw, measuring tape, adhesive, and a level. Having everything on hand will make the process more efficient.

Measure Twice, Cut Once

Accurate measurements are crucial. Measure the area where the moulding will go and mark your cuts carefully. This step will save time and materials.

Use the Right Adhesive

Choose an adhesive suitable for MDF. This ensures a strong bond and a clean finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.

Paint After Installation

For the best finish, paint your MDF mouldings after installation. This allows for touch-ups and ensures a seamless look.

Regular Checks

Once installed, regularly check the mouldings for any signs of wear or damage. This proactive approach will help maintain their appearance.
