Description
MDF Red is an untreated coloured MDF. The board consists of wood fibres that are compressed under high pressure together with a Red pigment. The material is therefore coloured through-and-through. This makes the material easy to process and does not splinter. It is important to degrease the material well before varnishing. The material also has an absorbent effect. Therefore, it is only suitable for indoor applications and in dry conditions.

MDF Red: what is it?
MDF is a popular board material that can be used for countless projects. MDF Red is a coloured MDF variant and is often chosen because of its smooth surface and because it is easy to process and assemble. The board material can be recognised by its Red colour and fibrous structure. Because the wood fibres of MDF Red are enriched with a pigment during the production process, the wood fibres remain visible. This ensures a unique appearance. MDF Red is also a suitable choice if you wish to finish your project by (partially) covering it with, for example, wallpaper; the somewhat coarse surface allows this to adhere well. Do you wish to use MDF for visible work? Then it must still be finished with, for example, a clear lacquer.
MDF Red is both a decorative and a constructive board. This means that you only have to finish painting the board material before use.

Machining of MDF Red boards
The board consists of wood fibres that are compressed under high pressure. This makes MDF Red easy to process. When milling or sawing, this board material does not splinter. The fibres are held together by resin. This makes it important to degrease the board well before painting it. MDF also has a suction effect, which is why we recommend always finishing the edges with an edge sealer. For this reason, MDF Red is only suitable for indoor applications and in dry conditions.
Are you going to lacquer MDF Red? Then it is a good idea to countersink the screws and to seal them. You do this by first sanding the board, then mixing some dust from the sanding with filler. This way, the filler takes on the colour of the plate. Then sand and varnish the whole thing neatly in one go.
Specific applications of MDF Red
You choose MDF Red if you want to create an interior project in a Red colour. The choice to keep the texture of MDF Red visible is mainly due to the characteristic MDF wood fibres structure that, thanks to the production process, creates a unique texture. Thus, you have the advantages of a Red colour with MDF's characteristic visible texture. This unique coloured look makes MDF Red a suitable choice for decorating bedrooms and children's rooms as well as sports halls, shop windows and offices. The coloured look provides a lively basis for MDF Red to leave a unique impression in your project.
