The luxury hotel furniture industry is leading the trend for applying MDF boards in hospitality furniture production.
Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is a development of engineered wood. To make MDF, we break down timber into fibers. Then we mix them with glue and wax to produce panels under pressure and temperature is implemented at extremes. This is what distinguishes MDF sheets from other types of wood. It is thanks to this unique method that MDF is indeed thicker and stronger than particleboard! MDF is a true solution whenever it refers to wood alternatives.
Normally, people perceive MDF as an alternative to solid wood. That is because they believe sold wood is stronger, durable, and more beautiful. However, all of them are misleadings and the luxury hotel furniture industry is leading the trend for applying MDF boards.
Warp or crack are the problems to solid and plywood due to humidity and relative temperature. In deep, weather effects can harm solid wood by slily expanding and creating cracks. Plywood can be warped for the same reason. On the other hand, the MDF production method makes the board achieve the fiber thickness counted by the nanometer. Moreover, we apply chemical adhesion on the MDF board, which is impossible with solid wood. Therefore, the board becomes more resistant to warp or crack under harmful effects from humidity and temperature.
Customized dimension is a huge benefit over solid wood. For instance, we grow an entire tree in 10 years to harvest solid boards as big as possible. But we need just a few dates to produce MDF boards as big as we want with available wood sources. That is ideal to make bespoke furniture. Factories can create large closet doors without wasting time for growing time or finding. Far from that, many countries restrict large solid wood sources due to environmental impacts.
Appearance is the most important aspect. The MDF boards do not go alone in hotel furniture production. We frequently use it with veneer or laminate to cover their surfaces. In that way, MDF boards can achieve the same look with solid wood or plywood as a customized advantage.
Above all, mass production is a questionable aspect for solid wood, but not MDF. Because our factories always need the consistent in dimensions and appearance for the hotel furniture industry. We can produce up to thousands of hotel closets or any other furniture items with the same look. Therefore, the hotel developers can get satisfaction with large hotel projects.
