Description
What is MDF door trim
MDF door trim, also known as medium-density fiberboard door trim, is a type of trim made from engineered wood product known as medium-density fiberboard (MDF). MDF is composed of wood fibers, resin, and wax, which are compressed under high pressure to create a dense and stable material.
Despite its advantages, it’s important to note that door jamb floor trim may not have the same natural beauty, durability, or longevity as solid wood trim. It is also more susceptible to moisture damage and may not be suitable for use in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms or kitchens without proper sealing. However, for interior trim applications in dry environments, mdf door stop moulding can be a practical and cost-effective solution.
