What goes into this job
Materials and where each one is used
MDF / HDF
Flatness is the reason to reach for it — routed edges, painted panels, cabinet carcasses.

Sequence on site
-
1
Match the board to the edge
Ply shows its face on the edge; MDF and particle board need an edge treatment. Decide before cutting.
-
2
Check flatness, not just size
A warped sheet cannot be jointed flat. Flatness matters more than a few millimetres of tolerance.
-
3
Cut oversize, then trim
Cut 2-3 mm oversize and trim to final dimension once the panel is in position.
-
4
Seal every cut edge
Cutting exposes the core. Seal it before assembly, especially on particle board and MDF.
-
5
Fix without splitting the face
Pre-drill near the edge and keep fasteners out of the show face. Splits show up at assembly, not at fixing.
-
6
Match the emission grade to the use
Bedrooms, offices and hotel rooms carry different emission requirements.
Technical notes
Detail worth knowing before you order
Furniture and joinery buyers are usually looking at one property: how the board machines and holds an edge. Face veneer grade, core composition and thickness tolerance decide that.
Tell us the edge treatment and the finish you plan to apply, and we will confirm which grade suits it.

Area, substrate, fire rating and target cost are enough for a first answer.
