At Builders Marketplace, we understand the importance of stocking quality materials when it comes to the success of any construction project. That’s why we offer a wide range of standard mdf boards in a variety of thicknesses that are perfect for projects big or small.
Standard MDF is a material that has been used in construction, manufacturing and domestic settings for decades due to its durable and smooth finish.
MDF is an engineered wood composite containing lignin, waxes and resins. It’s a cost-effective alternative to solid wood, and its uniformity makes it ideal for applications where precision cuts are needed. The standard thickness of MDF boards ranges from 3mm to 25mm.
We also stock a selection of other types of MDF. View our different variations of MDF:
Our Standard MDF Boards are available in a range of sizes and thicknesses, and can be cut to your desired size. Make sure to add the Builders Marketplace Cutting Service to your purchase if you need a custom size!
The answer depends on the manufacturer and the specific product being used, but generally speaking a standard sheet of MDF will range in thickness anywhere from 3mm to 25mm. The thickness of standard MDF also varies depending on its intended purpose, with thinner sheets for lighter duty applications such as interior trim boards or cabinets facing and thicker sheets for heavier duty jobs like countertops or shelving support structures.
This depends on the thickness and type of MDF being used, but when drilling screws into standard MDF, pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended to minimise splitting. The size of your bit should be slightly smaller than your screw shank diameter so that the threads can reach into fresh wood when inserted. This will provide better hold and prevent the wood from splitting as much as possible.
