P_x001D_LYWOOD-WHEN TO USE WHICH AND WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES ?


The wood is broken down into the basic fibre or fibre lumps. For this reason, the particular species of wood, straightness, knottiness, etc are not really important. This allows MDF raw material costs to be quite low.To get more news about Medium density fibreboard, you can visit boosterplywood.com official website.

The fibres are then combined with an adhesive and pressed together under heat. The heat is what cures the adhesive while making the fibres pliable during pressing.
You can purchase MDF in a variety of thicknesses and grades. It’s the material typically used in ready-made furniture, cabinets, shelves in storage units and decorative wall cladding
Plywood is a wooden panel made by putting together several thin layers of wood veneers to create a solid piece. The layers can be different types of wood.

Depending on the grade, plywood is best for use in the construction of homes, boats, floors, walls, and ceilings. Higher grades are suited to make cabinets.

Because of the different treatments of plywood, it can serve for interior, exterior and even marine construction purposes.You can decide which one to use for your project based on the application and your budget.

Since it does not handle moisture very well, MDF is better for indoor applications and for decorative purposes like furniture. It is also a better choice for applications that require specific shaping, cutting and drilling, since it does not splinter like plywood. If you are going to use paint, MDF is also a great choice for a smooth effect.

For the construction of doors, stairs, ceilings, floors and exterior projects, it’s better to use plywood. Plywood holds up quite well to water exposure. It can also handle heavy loads, so consider it for framing walls or kitchen cabinets.

If you have no specific preference and you’re just thinking about cost, then MDF is the winning choice. But if durability or strength is what you’re after, plywood wins hands-down.
