MDF skirting refers to skirting boards made from Medium-Density Fibreboard.
MDF skirting is a type of decorative moulding used along the base of internal walls, manufactured from MDF. As defined, MDF (medium-density fibreboard) is an engineered composite material. It is created by combining sawdust, wood shavings, small wood chips, and resin. This mixture is then compressed together to form lengths. These compressed lengths are suitable for manufacturing into various building components, including skirting boards, architraves, and other types of timber mouldings.
Essentially, MDF skirting is a product of this composite material, shaped and finished specifically to serve as a skirting board installation in homes and buildings.
What Makes Up MDF Skirting?
Based on the definition of its core material, MDF skirting is composed of:
- Sawdust: Fine particles from sawing wood.
- Wood Shavings: Thin curls of wood removed by planning.
- Small Wood Chips: Small pieces of wood.
- Resin: A binding agent that holds the wood components together under compression.
These components are processed and formed into the desired profile for skirting boards before installation.
