Now more than ever, it’s important to consider the environmental benefits of materials. Carbon emitted from construction currently accounts for 11% of Ireland’s emissions, however, the Climate Action Plan is calling for a 45% reduction (1). So, it’s important to move towards sustainable materials that lock away carbon, as they will effectively reduce the carbon footprint on your customer`s projects. Medium density fibreboard (MDF) is one material that’s growing in popularity due to its sustainability attributes and versatility when it comes to design.
All MEDITE SMARTPLY products are made using sustainable wood from responsibly managed forests in Ireland. MEDITE SMARTPLY is part of Coillte, a sustainable and innovative Irish forestry company, which is FSC certified. MEDITE MDF timber content consists of 40% wood logs and 60% of wood chips, a by-product from Irish sawmills. Carbon is stored in the panels from the growth of trees, to point of manufacturing, and stays locked in for the lifespan of the product and the building they are used within. The MDF range boasts some of the most environmentally efficient building materials on the market, with a product-specific Type 3 Environmental Product Declaration to support this.
MEDITE SMARTPLY has an extensive range of MDF products that offer standard, speciality and technical variants, to meet a multitude of specifications. This includes MEDITE PREMIER, a multi-purpose MDF ideal for furniture, shelving and domestic applications, and MEDITE OPTIMA, which features added density, enhanced machinability and higher surface quality than is found in standard moisture resistant panels.
