MDF stands for Medium-density fibreboard. It is an engineered wood product made from wood fibers that have been compressed and bonded together with resin under heat and pressure. MDF is commonly used in furniture, cabinetry, and millwork, as well as in the construction of new homes and remodels. It is known for its smooth surface, uniform density and consistency, and overall stability. 

So, when buying MDF (medium-density fiberboard) for your interiors, it is important to consider the grade of the MDF. There are three main grades of MDF: standard, premium, and ultra-premium. Standard MDF is the most affordable and is suitable for basic interior projects such as shelving and paneling. Premium MDF is more expensive but has a finer finish and is more suitable for projects that will be painted. Ultra-premium MDF is the most expensive and has the finest finish, making it suitable for projects that will be left natural or will be stained.

Another important factor to consider is the thickness of the MDF. Thicker MDF is more durable and can support more weight, making it suitable for projects such as countertops and cabinets.

It is also important to ensure that the MDF you are buying is made from low-formaldehyde or formaldehyde-free materials, as formaldehyde is a carcinogen that can cause health issues.

Look for MDF that is labeled "high-density" or "ultra-density," as these types of MDF are denser and more durable than standard MDF. Additionally, consider the thickness of the MDF, as thicker boards will be more stable and resistant to warping.
