Do you have a new build coming up and can't decide between solid timber vs MDF? Apart from the price, there are many ways MDF come out on top over solid timber. Supawood compares the two construction materials over the following features:

1. Fire Resistance

MDF is fire-retardant and is treated with sustainably compliant fire-resistant chemicals, which can slow down fire spreading as opposed to flammable timber that can add to the rapid spread of fire.

2. Moisture Resistance

Cracking, decaying, and warping is a common problem in solid timber. MDF, on the other hand, is specifically engineered to withstand moisture and humidity.

3. Stability and Consistency

The man-made MDF is engineered for consistency when it comes to strength, shape, and size. This can result in a stable and uniform product as opposed to timber that has natural defects and variations.
