Stories from the trenches.

I bought a ton of MDF to do woodwork.

Now the air in the office stings the eyes and the nose so I researched why this is happening.

It's the adhesive! Our markets are full of the cheap chinese adhesive!

Don't go cheap on adhesives, it's a matter of life and health.

This article explains why.

My workers even got sick, so sick that they had to stop work and vomited for hours until they were provided medical attention.

I now have no choice but to install extractor fans to ensure the air in the office is safe for humans

I can't use it for myself, I don't even recommend it to my clients. MDF is a No No for me.


There is another board lower to MDF (it shouldn't be considered at all)

Frequent exposure to water can cause the wood to rot within a relatively short time, however if your bath area is screened off properly, like within a shower cubicle for instance, then it can be used.

The door may also be sprayed with some sort of plastic paint to make it more resistant to water, hence prolonging its life span.

If your bath area isn't screened, you may opt for more water resistant options like aluminum or PVC (plastic) doors.

You're on point.

But there are actually wooden doors that can last more years.

(Forgive the image quality!) Below is a pic of a door that has lasted over 18 years & still counting.
Bath area ain't even screened!

Interesting...I guess it's made of "iron wood", the kind of wood used in making boats, canoes and the likes?

Probably the kitchen carcasses may be HDF but the doors are of high gloss HDF board.

There is nothing wrong with MDF. it has its own usefulness.
we find trouble with mdf when we force it to do jobs not meant for it.

Hello my esteemed NL House Brethren,
I'm a first-time land owner, and I need experience on how to develop the land on an affordable scale. I'm a hustler that's trying to get stability away from landlord bills.

I started getting experience here in my pre-SSCE times, and now I'm here again for help in my adulthood times.

Let experienced builders, and house-owners share experiences here so as to help us to avoid extortionists and swindlers of our hard-earned funds.
