MDF, HDHMR, particle and block boards

Each board has one job it does best. MDF machines beautifully — routed shutter designs, paint-grade finishes, CNC work. HDHMR is the tougher cousin: denser, holds screws better and shrugs off moisture, which is why it is replacing MDF in kitchens. Particle board is the budget pick for cabinet insides and office furniture — light and economical, but not for wet areas. Block board stays straight over long spans, so use it for wardrobe shutters and table tops that would sag in other boards.

Pre-laminated boards save a finishing step; plain boards leave the full laminate catalogue open. Tell us the furniture and we will match the board to it.
