12mm MDF: Standard or Moisture Resistant?

Standard MDF

12mm Standard MDF

Standard 12mm MDF is intended primarily for dry interior applications and is a practical choice where a consistent, machinable sheet is required.

Common applications include furniture, cabinetry, shelving, decorative panels and general joinery.

Moisture Resistant

12mm Moisture Resistant MDF

12mm moisture resistant MDF is designed for suitable interior applications where increased resistance to humid conditions is required.

It can be a better choice for kitchens, utility rooms, bathroom furniture and other humidity-prone interiors.

The Plywood Etc 12mm MDF collection includes a wide selection of sheet dimensions, from small 250 x 250mm panels through to full 2440 x 1220mm boards. The available range includes full sheets, half sheets, narrow strips and handy sizes.

Not Sure Which 12mm MDF You Need?

Standard 12mm MDF may be suitable.

For dry interior furniture, shelving, cabinetry, joinery and decorative projects, standard MDF is generally the starting point where its specification meets the requirements of the job.

Consider 12mm moisture resistant MDF.

Where increased humidity is expected, such as suitable kitchen, utility or bathroom furniture applications, moisture resistant MDF may be the better specification. It should not be treated as waterproof.
