We prioritize durability, sustainability, and style in every element of our custom furniture parts, including the doors, sides, and tops. Our commitment to high-quality materials, environmentally responsible choices, and meticulous craftsmanship ensures that our products stand the test of time while looking stunning in any space.
Premium MDF Wood with Satin Sheen Finish
Our doors, sides, and tops are crafted from high-quality Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), a type of engineered wood that is known for its remarkable durability and strength. This sustainable material is certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), ensuring responsible sourcing from sustainably managed forests. MDF’s engineered nature provides consistency and strength that supports long-term structural integrity, making it ideal for furniture applications.
To give our MDF products an elevated finish, we apply either a satin sheen paint or a real wood veneer, depending on the specific item’s design. This finishing process enhances the appearance and provides a luxurious, smooth feel that adds an extra level of sophistication to any room.
Conversion Varnish for Enhanced Durability
All our painted fronts are coated with a specialized conversion varnish. Unlike traditional lacquer, conversion varnish has a slightly more flexible composition, which allows it to withstand minor impacts without cracking. It also provides superior resistance to moisture and everyday wear, so your furniture will maintain its appearance and integrity for years. This varnish complements the MDF's robust qualities and contributes to a finish that looks polished yet resilient.
MDF Thickness and Panel Specifications
Each panel and door is designed with specific thicknesses to achieve an ideal balance between sleek aesthetics and durability. Here's a closer look at the dimensions we use for our components:
-
Besta Collection:
-
Top and Side Panels: These panels are made from MDF with a thickness of 1/4 inch. This slim profile offers a refined look while maintaining enough strength to serve as a reliable surface for everyday use.
-
Doors: The doors in the Besta collection have a thickness of 3/4 inch, providing substantial sturdiness and an elegant, solid feel when opened or closed.
-
-
Sektion Collection and Other Panels:
- Side Panels: For our Sektion range and any additional wood panels, we use MDF that is 3/8 inch thick. This thickness strikes an ideal balance between weight and durability, offering structural integrity without adding unnecessary bulk.
By carefully choosing these dimensions, we ensure that our doors, sides, and tops not only look sophisticated but also provide lasting support and resilience for everyday use.
Why MDF?
Medium Density Fiberboard is an engineered wood composite that combines wood fibers with a resin binder. The resulting material is both dense and stable, which makes it less susceptible to warping or cracking compared to natural wood. This stability allows MDF to maintain its shape over time, even in varying temperature and humidity conditions, which is essential for furniture longevity.
Additionally, MDF provides a smooth, uniform surface that holds paint and veneers exceptionally well, resulting in a pristine finish that brings out the beauty of each piece. Unlike plywood, MDF has no visible grain patterns, ensuring a sleek, modern appearance that complements both minimalist and classic interiors.
Environmentally Responsible Manufacturing
Sustainability is a core part of our design process. Using SFI-certified MDF means that our materials come from responsibly managed forests, supporting long-term ecological health. By choosing engineered wood products like MDF, we help reduce the demand for solid wood, contributing to forest conservation and minimizing waste in the production process.
Summary
Our doors, sides, and tops are crafted to be both functional and stylish, with the following features:
-
Material: High-quality MDF wood, SFI-certified, with optional satin sheen paint finish or real wood veneer for a luxury feel.
-
Finish: Conversion varnish coating for enhanced durability and flexibility.
-
Environmental Responsibility: Sustainable materials and practices to reduce our environmental footprint.
These thoughtful details combine to deliver furniture components that are not only beautiful but also engineered for longevity and durability.
