MDF or Timber Doors?
When it comes to investing in your new kitchen, the decision making list can feel endless.
We often get requests for solid timber doors without the true understanding and benefit of MDF doors.
In this blog we can provide you with some of the benefits of MDF over solid timber doors.


MDF withstands changes in heat and humidity better than solid wood. Solid wood expands and contracts both horizontally and vertically when temperatures and humidity rise and fall.
Because of this, painted cabinets and components made from solid wood will most likely show cracks at the joints.
MDF provides a smooth appearance, it is highly scratch-resistant, and therefore you can place heavy utensils on it without affecting the surface of the cabinet; It is easy to clean. This makes it ideal for hygienic kitchen cabinets.
Highly durable and resilient, painted vinyl or vinyl wrapped cabinet doors are a very popular and economical choice.
MDF is also very versatile as the vinyl faced MDF panels that the high-quality paint or vinyl wrap is applied to can be designed and routed to lots of different profiles.
Compared to solid wood, MDF, or plywood, MFC boards cost less and offer great value for money. In commercial projects requiring a huge volume of furniture items,
MFC boards can help willful the requirements without having to break the bank.
Are solid wood kitchen doors worth it?
If you are trying to renovate your kitchen on a budget and want a variety of different shades and colours, then MDF is the best option.
If you have a bit more money to spend and fancy a more traditional looking door that will last longer with proper care and attention, then solid wood would suit you better.
