7 best manufacturers of MDF panels

MDF panels are made of fine wood dust by dry pressing. For this, high pressure and carbamide resins are used. Panels are actively used in the manufacture of furniture. They make kitchen sets, tables, bed frames, cabinets and other items. Use sheets for interior walls. The building material varies in thickness (4–20 mm), and the variety of colors used in the finish of the outer layer reproduces both the pattern of natural wood of various breeds and the unusual texture.

The panel lends itself well to milling, so embossed patterns are possible. In order to choose material for furniture production, home workshop or repair of premises we recommend to familiarize yourself with the rating of the best manufacturers of MDF panels. TOP-7 is based on the characteristics of the goods produced and customer reviews.
