Making cleaner, greener interiors with MDF

Wood remains a popular material for furniture and joinery, and with sustainability high on the agenda, any designs that use reclaimed or sustainably produced wood are highly sought after – says MEDITE SMARTPLY, whose environmentally conscious products ensure a sustainable building material, storing carbon throughout their lifetime …

Sourced from the company’s sustainably managed forests in Ireland, MEDITE SMARTPLY’s engineered wood panels are proof of the brand’s commitment to creating products that contribute to sustainable and healthier environments.

Joiners, furnituremakers and carpenters can benefit from the durability and flexibility of engineered wood panels to meet the project aspirations of their clients.

The MEDITE MDF range includes: MEDITE MR, a moisture-resistant MDF panel designed for use in humid conditions; MEDITE PREMIER, a multi-purpose MDF ideal for furniture, shelving and domestic applications; and, for applications where flame retardance is required, there is MEDITE PREMIER FR.

The range also includes MEDITE CLEAR, an MDF panel manufactured with no added formaldehyde, which has been developed specifically for environmentally sensitive interior applications such as nurseries, schools and museums.

Lee Thompson, director of Lee’s Custom Woodwork, says he loves working with MEDITE MR: “I use this in my jobs as I find it has a superior, smooth finish, is easy to router and is much better to use than standard MDFs I have used in the past.

“I also use MEDITE MR as it is less likely to fluff up when applying a paint finish, and I’ve found that the panels can be spray finished with a lot less prep. The moisture-resistant materials are perfect for using for some of the items I’ve made, as a lot of my work includes bars and areas susceptible to moisture.”

In addition to being sustainably produced, MEDITE MDF products are also CARB2 compliant, which puts the company at the forefront of ‘low formaldehyde’ innovation in Europe.
