MDF vs HDF
Fiberboard: MDF, HDF and LDF
Fiberboard is an engineered wood product made from wood fibers or other plant fibers that are separated, blended with adhesive, formed into mats, and hot-pressed into panels.
It is classified into three main types by density:
| Type | Density Range | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) | 650 - 800 kg/m³ | Smooth surface, ideal for painting and veneering |
| HDF (High Density Fiberboard) | > 800 kg/m³ | High hardness, suitable for flooring substrates |
| LDF (Low Density Fiberboard) | < 650 kg/m³ | Mainly used for thermal and acoustic insulation |
