Solid Timber vs MDF by SupawoodDo 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 ResistanceMDF 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 ResistanceCracking, 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 ConsistencyThe 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.
4. Design VersatilityThere are limitations to handling solid timber whereas MDF can be easily cut, shaped, and even moulded. 5. AestheticsMDF can be engineered to mimic timber, this material can be customised to have unique textures and specific colours. Learn more about solid timber vs MDF at www.supawood.com.au.
