    MDF Skirting Boards FAQ

    MDF Board stands for Medium-density fibreboard, which is made from wood fibres and resin. It is a versatile material used in various applications such as furniture, cabinetry, shelving, and more. It is known for its smooth surface, which makes it ideal for painting and can be cut into custom sizes.

    The most common way to attach MDF board to a wall is to use screws. First, drill pilot holes into the MDF board, then attach it to the wall using screws and wall plugs. You can also use construction adhesive to attach the MDF board directly to the wall.

    You can buy MDF board at most hardware stores and online retailers. Look for a supplier that offers custom sizing and a range of thicknesses and finishes to meet your specific needs.

    The cost of MDF board varies depending on the thickness, finish, and size. On average, you can expect to pay between £20 and £50 for a standard-sized sheet of MDF board. Custom sizes may cost more.

    To prime MDF board for painting, first, sand the surface to smooth out any rough spots. Then, apply a coat of primer to seal the surface and prevent the paint from soaking into the wood fibres. Once the primer is dry, you can apply paint to the MDF board.

    The thinnest MDF board typically available is 1/8 inch thick (3.175mm). Our range offers MDF sheets as thin as 9mm.

    You can use most types of paint on MDF board, including latex and oil-based paints. However, it is recommended that you use a primer first to prevent the paint from soaking into the wood fibres. You can also use spray paint or enamel paint for a smooth, even finish. We recommend a satin paint finish on MDF boards.

    To paint MDF board, first, sand the surface to smooth out any rough spots. Then, apply a coat of primer to seal the surface and prevent the paint from soaking into the wood fibres. Once the primer is dry, you can apply paint to the MDF board using a brush or roller. Allow the paint to dry completely before applying a second coat, if necessary.

    The weight of a sheet of MDF varies depending on the thickness and size. For example, a 4' x 8' sheet of 1/2" thick MDF board weighs approximately 50 pounds (22.7kg).
