MDF stands for Medium Density Fiberboard. It consists of a special grade resin mixed with sawdust. It is then compact it in multiple stages giving the density required as a finished product.
All MDF products are required to be primed/painted with an industry standard sealer referred to as primer. This sealer/primer penetrates and seals the MDF so that the finish coat of paint is applied with ease.
The term is often confused with polystyrene (a.k.a. Styrofoam) but the material is quite a bit different. Polyurethane is a dense foam material that has all of the advantages of wood without the disadvantages (rotting, splintering, and cracking) so it is a superior material.
Benefits:
- Lasts longer than MDF or wood crown moulding.
- Designed for interior and exterior use, lightweight and easy to install.
- Pre-primed and ready for paint.
MDF mouldings are more cost affective than actual wood mouldings so the choice may depend on your budget.
Wood has more advantages but MDF, when properly installed and painted, has a beautiful finish lasting a long time.
Yes. All MDF, plaster and wood mouldings should be primed.
