MDF or Medium density fibre board panels are wooden pieces that are used to embellish the walls by giving them a craved look and texture. With the help of a wall paneling kit, the installation process becomes subtle and trouble-free. It is made under high temperature and force by blending the wood filament with wax and other required elements. As a result, MDF panels are more intense than plywood.

It is a multipurpose material as it is used not only for decorating walls but also for making doors, cabinets, etc. Below are some perks/reasons to use MDF wall paneling:

Worth the Money spent

Apart from the fact that solid wood is fascinating, the supply of the material is minimal, and it is pretty expensive, and not everyone wants to buy expensive stuff. The MDF wall panels are comparatively cheaper and readily available, as they are prepared using leftovers of reclaimed wood, hardwood, and many more. But inexpensive doesn’t mean quality is poor; the boards are worth respect of the cost and are a successful alternative.

Not only this, it is very relatively easy to cut and paint the panels as compared to plywood; it doesn’t require so many people to help you; you can do it with two or three people. In addition, the MDF lasts longer if they are maintained in an exemplary manner. 

Strong and Durable

The panels are made of fibers that are very harsh in texture. It is more tough, intense, and imperishable than solid wood, as they are manufactured with highly flattened strands. They are mainly used as the core of cupboards for the kitchen because they don’t break easily in high and low temperatures. They are impenetrable as their production process includes chemicals.

Consistent

The MDF panels have gone through compressing and heat processes of manufacturing. This is the reason they are more thick and equal from all angles. The consistency of the boards makes them easier to slice. The corner surface of plywood is rough, and they have splinters, but MDF boards have smooth edges, which saves you from the step of sanding, and you can start decorating your wall, cabinets, etc.

Customization

As we have learned above, these panels are very simple to cut; drilling the board is also not very hard. Because of this quality of MDF, you can customize them in the way you want. One can choose many designs to create new patterns; these panels give the option to play around. In addition to this, it takes less amount of paint while you are coloring the boards as it has a smooth and knot-free surface.

Flexibility

You can bend and twist these MDF panels however you want to. One can create different dramatic shapes and slopes at less cost and time, and you can use other materials for creative patterns as it saves your money.

Environmental Friendly

Nowadays, many standards exist to save the environment from harmful substances. Apart from the fact that MDF boards go through chemical treatments, it still has some environmentally friendly components. The manufacturing processes of these panels include recycling old and leftover wood.
