There’s more to MR

Medite’s moisture-resistant MDF is smoother than standard grades, making it ideal for high quality finishes as well as applications in humid environments.

If you’re making bathroom or kitchen furniture and you’d prefer not to get returns when moisture ingress swells panels that are exposed to damp or steam, using a moisture-resistant MDF board will give you increased robustness, functionality and peace of mind.

Moisture-resistant MDF panels provide improved durability compared with regular fibreboards, ensuring a longer lifespan and reducing maintenance needs. The enhanced machinability also allows for smooth, precise cuts and easy shaping, resulting in high-quality finishes. For an optimal panel, choose pre-primed options that simplify installation and streamline project execution.

Medite’s MR Plus is an example of an innovative moisture-resistant MDF panel that’s been purpose-designed for use in humid conditions in accordance with MDF.H (as defined in EN 622-5). Suitable for kitchen, bathroom, and general furniture, it comes primed on both surfaces with an opaque, UV-cured coating system, providing a smooth, low-gloss base. Eliminating the need for additional priming can reduce labour and material costs, generating savings of up to 15% per project.

For an extra smooth surface that ensures better coatings and finishes, requires less paint and delivers significant cost savings, there is little to beat Medite’s Optima. A specially engineered moisture-resistant MDF panel featuring an extra smooth surface finish, Optima is designed for applications that require higher density, enhanced machinability and superior surface quality compared to standard moisture-resistant panels. As an excellent substitute for softwoods and hardwoods, it is suitable for non-stressed applications such as kitchen and bathroom furniture, architectural mouldings, window boards, flooring, and general interior joinery where a high-quality moisture-resistant board is needed.
