MDF and HDF in Our Cabinets – What You Need to Know

When crafting our cabinets, we use materials like medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and high-density fiberboard (HDF) to ensure durability and quality. These materials help prevent warping and wood expansion, especially important for doors and drawers. While natural wood is highly valued for its beauty, it can expand or contract over time due to changes in temperature and humidity, leading to cracks or warping. MDF and HDF offer a more stable alternative, particularly for the center panels of doors and drawers, reducing the risk of these issues.

For some cabinet styles, doors and drawer fronts may be made entirely from MDF or HDF, most commonly used for painted finishes. These materials allow for smooth finishes without visible lines or seams that often appear with natural wood.

It is important to note that using MDF and HDF is not a compromise on quality. The structural components of the cabinets, such as side panels, top and bottom panels, and frames, are made from real wood and plywood, ensuring the strength and longevity of each piece of furniture.

To learn more about the materials used in our cabinets, we recommend checking the specifications for each cabinet line.
