As sustainability climbs to the top of the global agenda, the demand for environmentally friendly products is increasing. The benefits of timber are huge as it’s sustainable and renewable, and it also has the lowest embodied carbon of any mainstream building material. Its versatility also makes it a great product for fabricators to create bespoke structures and furniture.
Working with MEDITE MDF
MEDITE SMARTPLY has consistently worked to develop its specialist MEDITE MDF range to provide fabricators and designers with practical solutions that strive to meet their client’s design and sustainability goals.
As part of the Coillte Group, the company prides itself on its sustainable supply chain and manufacturing processes. This means that the products are as environmentally friendly in their make up as they are in their application. MEDITE processes wood chips from the Irish sawmill sector, which accounts for around 60 per cent of the raw material input for MEDITE MDF and fulfils an important recycling element in the forestry sector.
Additionally, the MEDITE MDF product range is CARB 2 compliant, which is a regulation limit lower than the European regulation E1 formaldehyde class.
This does not mean it compromises on quality, far from it. The extensive MDF range boasts outstanding machinability, strength, and uniformity, which gives fabricators the freedom to create standard and bespoke structures to suit their project requirements.
For example, if flame retardancy is needed, there is MEDITE PREMIER FR and MEDITE FR CLEAR – that also features no added formaldehyde. Often, MEDITE MR and MEDITE® TRICOYA® EXTREME (MTX) are specified for their moisture resistant properties.
Many more examples demonstrating what can be achieved with MDF can be found on MEDITE’s members-only, online community site: www.meditemakesitreal.com.
With ten different families of MDF products and many variants, offering over 400 possible specifications, fabricators can create sustainable and bespoke pieces.
