19mm American Black Walnut Veneered MDF Board A/B Grade 2440mm x 1220mm (8' x 4')

Veneered MDF (A/B) is made up from quality real wood veneers bonded to premium MDF. The core is MDF with a 0.5mm veneer on both sides to create the finished size. The veneer features an A grade face and a B grade face. Flat slicing produces a crown cut veneer which gives a more figured face. Solid timber and real wood veneers are natural products meaning each piece is unique with a variation in shading, colour, structure, grain and the inclusion of knots and fissures are characteristics of the product. Veneered MDF is an ideal alternative to solid woods and it is used for a number of purposes including making office furniture, kitchen cabinets, panel mouldings, dining sets, fire surrounds and many more. Due to its smooth and stable surfaces MDF is also used for decorative wood or laminate veneers and it can easily be drilled and cut to specific sizes.

Application

Veneered MDF is suitable only for internal applications. It is easily cut with hand and machine tools but scribing the cut line will prevent break out of the surface fibres. The natural real wood surfaces can be enhanced with polishes or lacquers to suit individual tastes.

Environmental

MDF is manufactured from wood fibres, mixed with resin and waxes which are then hot pressed to the required thickness. These wood fibres are sourced from environmentally friendly forest thinnings, recycled wood/pallets, and sawdust. All our suppliers provide FSC and PEFC certification.

Safety

All dust can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, MDF dust is no exception. Correct PPE such as dust masks and goggles should be worn as a matter of routine. Workshop machines should be fitted with appropriate dust extraction equipment. If not in a workshop environment then MDF should be worked in a well ventilated area. The use of a respirator fitted with P2 filter units is highly recommended.
