The Green Core Difference: Why Some Cheap MDF Sheets Aren't So Cheap
If you're planning to use MDF in a bathroom, kitchen, or basement, standard MDF will fail. It swells, peels, and rots.
Enter Moisture Resistant MDF (MR MDF) β identifiable by its distinctive green core.
When you need MR MDF:
π Bathroom vanities and bath panels
π³ Kitchen cabinets near sinks
πͺ Window boards (condensation zone)
π Basement joinery
The cost difference: MR MDF typically costs 20-25% more than standard MDF. That premium is cheap insurance against catastrophic failure.
Smart buying tip: When searching for a cheap MDF sheet, make sure you're buying the right grade for your project. A "cheap" standard sheet in a bathroom will cost you dearly.
