The MDF profile is used to create facades of cabinet furniture. You can put this framework: chipboard, bamboo, glass, mirror, and plastic. MDF facades for furniture are a cost-effective solution for the interior of any room. The price of solid facades from a natural tree significantly exceeds the price of "fellow" from MDF. However, in this appearance, the difference between them is often unnoticed even with attentive consideration. Products from the MDF profile are harmoniously fit into the interior, decorated in various style (classics, modern, high-tech, etc.). The advantages of this material include: thermal stability, moisture resistance, no harmful substances in composition, health safety.

In the online store Lavr, you can purchase a profile of various standard sizes and multiple colors. We offer products of such well-known brands as AGT and Savash. Order Profile MDF Wholesale You can make up the basket on the site.

M. DF Paneland - one of the most interesting finishing materials for decorating walls indoors. They are used both in residential buildings and in commercial premises, as it is a great opportunity to create a solid design with a very realistic imitation of natural wood at an affordable price. But that the result corresponds to expectations, you need to know how the modules are fastened and what you need buy Planks MDF.

Types of fair elements for MDF installation

The panels from this material are mounted on the walls using special plank MDF. and additional fasteners. Depending on the surface area and the selected type of decorative panels themselves. May be needed:

1. Kleimers are steel galvanized fasteners such as brackets, by means of which reliable fixation of modules to the crate is performed. Similar dobly elements for MDF panels They are distinguished by great convenience and simplicity.
2. Finishing P. lanka MD.F - decorative panels, with which the coating is attached to the whole, completed appearance.
3. Plinths - also selected immediately when buying MDF panels, as it is important to consider compliance here - not only aesthetic, but also technical.

Types of Planocks

P lanka for MD.F is a separate group of goods, since the line of each manufacturer usually present a series with various sizes, structural versions and purpose.

According to the last 2 signs distinguish such planks for MD.F:

• connectors - used in the formation of rows for docking 2 adjacent modules;
• universal folding strips - are used as finishing elements for internal or outer angles, as well as rectilinear surface sections;
• corner models - the name corresponds to the assignment, are used for firmware joint neline MD.F in corners.

The number and type of all d overhead elements for MDF panels It is better to calculate before and buy immediately in full set. This will make it easy and quickly complete the walls of the walls, without interruptions to buy missing parts. Plus, you will immediately see the correspondence of additional elements and panels in structure and shade, and at the moment when they need you additionally, it is precisely such models that may not be available.

Specifications

Like the decorative modules themselves for the main finish and the connecting planks for MDF panelscan be manufactured on various technologies. It is important to consider the fact that it is advisable to buy and panels and the planks in the same quality.

Options may be as follows:

1. All-refined. The cheapest and simple manufacturing technology, due to which eNA Planks and MDF panels It will be more than affordable.
2. Laminated - Such details will have additional polymer surface protection, due to which the material is obtained by a higher quality class.
3. Moisture resistant - these p lanka for MD panelsF is based on raw materials, at least an order of magnitude better.

Design

As for external execution, here also the proposed range of options is very wide. This allows you to choose the ideally combined elements among themselves and create an externally monolithic coating in one tone, with one structure, texture, texture.

Available today options for imitation of various valuable breeds - oak, beech, larch, as well as simpler, but no less attractive - ash, pine, apple tree.

Therefore, the choice of a shade is not sophisticated - it all depends solely on personal preferences.

Additional conditions

To buy it is planks for MD panelsHigh quality, check:

• quality certificates for products - they should include data on environmental purity;
• the correspondence of dimensional parameters - they must be perfectly clear, so that in the process of installation you have no difficulties or the need to perform additional work on cutting and fitting the material;
• the lack of visible marriage - on the surface and in the structure of the material there should be no cracks, chips, influx, irregularities.

With the development of technologies on the market, more and more construction and finishing materials appear. At the end of the last century, we have MDF. There are MDF plates that are used in construction work, there are finishing panels that can be searched walls / ceilings or make furniture.

What is the MDF and the method of its manufacture

MDF in our market appeared in the last years of the last century, and invented it in the United States in the late 60s of the 20th century. It is possible to understand what MDF is if you translate its English-language name - MDF - Medium density fibreboard. It is translated into Russian as a "fiberglass of medium density". That is, a Russian-speaking name was formed using transliteration - instead of Latin letters put similar Russians. Normal, for our language, phenomenon.

MDF - Fibrous Middle Density Stove

Manufacturing process

MDF made of wood, grinding to a state of very fine chips, practically to the state of the fibers. Used, mainly woodworking waste, so that the release of this material harm forests does not cause.

Ground wood is purified from sand and other extraneous enclosures, washed, dried. The prepared mass is heated, form the ribbon of the required width from it, after which they are pressed. Under pressure from heated woody fibers, a natural binder is a lignin. It is he who is binding in this material. The final form of products betrayed in the finish press, which squeezes the residues of air from the mass, forming a homogeneous structure of MDF.

After pressing, the cooled material is fed to grinding, where the flaws on the surface are removed from MDF, the material is removed to the required thickness.

Not all wood breeds give a sufficient number of binding. Then add a similar, previously dedicated, lignin or other natural binder. Of all sheet wood materials, MDF is considered the safest, since the binder is natural, and the formaldehyde emission is comparable to wood indicators (F1 emission class, that is, the use of furniture for children's and medical institutions is allowed).

In the production of wood-fibrous plates, you can give special properties. Basically, the moisture resistance of the additive increases moisture resistance and reduce flammability.

Appearance and form of release

In the "pure" form, the material has a grayish brown color, a homogeneous tight mass. The exact shade depends on the type of wood ground and the amount of bark. In this form, the material is used as a construction sheet - to erect light partitions, alignment of the walls.

The MDF surface can be "enlarged." It can be painted, seminate PVC film, sack veneer or plastic. This gives a fairly large number of design options, which is used in the furniture industry, in the production of finishing materials.

Production technology allows you to form products of various shapes, thickness, size. With finishing press, you can form a certain relief, which is used in the manufacture of furniture, doors. Also from MDF finishing materials - plates, panels. Make it from it the plinth, platbands, the other hand. All these materials can be used for interior decoration.

The structure of the MDF is fine-fiber, dust is formed during the milling, which allows you to make carvings. This is used in the manufacture of carved decorative elements - panels, decorative lattices, curly furniture facades.

MDF or chipboard - what is better?

Appearing on the market, MDF created competition. It was facilitated by its properties:

All this led to the growing popularity of the material. Even despite the fact that MDF is more expensive than chipboard. To some extent, MDF even amounted to wood competition. For example, plinths are increasingly used, platbands from MDF, finishing panels. This is due to the first, lower cost, secondly, greater practicality. Wood requires regular care - painting, varnishing. MDF does not require special care. It is simply wiped with a damp cloth, if necessary, using a liquid detergent.

Plates MDF.

MDF plate manufacturing technology allows you to vary the density wide limits: the minimum indicator is 760-780 kg / m 3, the maximum is 1100 kg / m 3 and even higher. Material with less density is used where the load on the abrasion is low: in the furniture industry, for decoration of walls and ceiling.

MDF plates of high density are used for floor finish. The material of this category has high resistance to abrasion: one and a half times higher than that of an oak (oak - 6.9, MDF - 10-11). If adding that the diagonal warp coefficient is only 1.2 mm per meter diagonally (at plywood 15 mm), the love of furnitureeers and finishers to this material becomes clear.

Dimensions and tolerances

One of the most popular forms of release - plates of different thickness and format. They can be found with such parameters:

With MDF plates, it is convenient to work conveniently, since this material has very small tolerances from sizes:

• the difference in thickness can not exceed 0.2 mm (at plywood 0.5-2.5 mm);
• length may differ no more than 5 mm;
• range in width can not be more than 2 mm.

When docking two sheets, the difference in thickness or sizes is very small or there is no one. Therefore, the MDF finish sheets or panels is moving quickly.

Types of finishing of the surface of the sheet material

MDF plates are manufactured with different types of surface treatment:

If we talk about construction and repair, the MDF grilged plates are used in them. When aligning the walls or installation of light partitions, when aligning the floor and ceiling. Here is an approximate area of \u200b\u200bapplication.

Mounting on the frame

If the surface of the wall or the ceiling is uneven (deviations more than 1 cm), the method of mounting the sheet MDF is the same as at drywall - on the frame. The frame is usually collected from wooden bars, but no one forbids to put profiles under plasterboard. The cross section of the bars is selected based on the irregularities of the wall - they must compensate for all the height difference. Most likely, you will need a 20 * 30 mm bars or something so. They are stuffing horizontally with a step of 40 cm. With this step of the sheets of sheets (they are, if the ceiling height is higher than 280 cm) comes to the bar.

Under the installation of leaf panels from the same bar, vertical jumpers are installed. They are put in increment:

• 54. 3 cm - for sheets of a width of 2170 mm;
• 42.3 cm or 63.5 cm for 1270 mm width.

The step of the vertical jumper installation depends on the thickness of the selected material. For thin sheets (3-4 mm), it should be less for thick (5-6 mm) can be made more.

Lists / Plates of MDF are attached to the collected frame. Feature (compared to drywall) is that for hidden attachment it is necessary to drill holes under fasteners. Otherwise, the fastener will not go into a dense slab. So that the caps are not sticking over the surface, the hole is expanded by using a larger diameter drill.

After installing the screws on the surface there are holes. They are embedded with putty. If it is supposed to put the walls of the walls, act as when - first put the holes close up, immediately removing the spatula of the surplus. After drying, there are places of putty sandpaper with thin grain - to finally get rid of possible irregularities. Then, dust the surface, proceed to the shtlocking of the walls.

Installation on glue

If the walls are smooth, you can mount the MDF plates without a frame - on glue. You can use liquid nails or the composition of the type cm-11. The order of work is:

So that in the process of installing the sheet does not move anywhere, you can make holes in the corners and, after alignment, fix the sheet. Even if the tapping screw is held only in the plaster, it will help, as it is required only at the initial stage - while the glue does not begin to fit.

This method seems more simple and costs less (due to the absence of a frame), but to align bulky MDF plates is not easy. It is better to try on a small segment of the wall. The fact is that it is impossible to disassemble the established. Only if destroying the trim completely. So it is worth thinking which methods better.

Installation of sheet MDF on the floor

For laying on the floor, moisture-resistant MDF plates of a large density (from 900 kg / m 3 and above) are selected. Sheet thickness - from 5 mm when laying on a draft floor and from 10 mm when mounting on the lags. In this case, the installation method is similar to the alignment of the floor with plywood, only the gaps are less, as the wood cooker changes much less plywood. The rest of the rules are similar:

After grinding putty, the surface of the floor from the MDF plates is ready for painting. If you do everything neatly, it turns out perfectly smooth floor. This foundation can be used and as a basis for flexible finishing materials or under laminate.

Finishing panels MDF.

Small-dispersive pressed plates serve as the main for the production of decorative finishing panels. The facial surface is covered with paper. This is the cheapest option. A little more expensive laminate PVC film. There are also panels that are saved by veneer. This is more expensive material. There are also options with plastic, but it is already quite rare.

MDF panel with volumetric image - 3D

MDF decorative panels most often cut the walls, sometimes the ceiling. This method of finishing allows you to save time: the surface and align, and immediately take the final form, since the additional finish is not required.

Types of decorative MDF panels

We will discuss not coloring and shades, but about the inlet form and the type of decorative surface. In the form of finishing panels from pressed wood fibers are:

When choosing the MDF panels, pay attention to the finish type. The cheapest material is covered with paper, on top of which a thin layer of protective coating is applied. It is clear that such a surface is quickly scratched, it is possible to wipe it only and an extremely soft slightly damp cloth. It is impossible to use even a rough sponge, otherwise, light spots are formed. These MDF panels are good for finishing the ceiling - there is no mechanical load there. If you install them on the walls, it is better to immediately cover two layers of varnish. The type of surface is choosing themselves - gloss, semi-small, matte, semi-mone ... It is important that the film is durable.

More expensive - with PVC and veneer - additional finishes do not require, but at a price of 2-3 times more expensive. If the budget is limited, described above the option is not bad.

Methods of installation

MDF panels are mounted or on the frame, or directly on the wall, with the help of glue. The technologies are described in the previous paragraph and is distinguished by the fact that montage uses curvators - special mounting plates for complementary installation. The first panel on the wall is installed in the corner. Here it is attached through with the help of self-tapping. All the others are fixed by the clemas. After the installation is completed, the corners are closed with a special angular profile. It is mounted on glue - apply a thin layer and pressed at the installation site.

There is also a profile system - starter, finishing, connecting and angular (external and inner corner). But this fastening system is more expensive, it is used with MDF panels trimmed with veneer, square or rectangular format.

There is another subtlety of the installation of decorative MDF panels on the ceiling. If you use thin sheets / strips - 3-4 mm thick - it is necessary to put the suspension, otherwise the material will drive under its own weight. When using a plate 6-8 mm, the thickness of the suspension can be set less frequently. They are tougher and not bent. But the weight of the finish will be greater, so you have to use more powerful guides and the suspensions themselves.

The MDF profile is an extremely common and modern design material that is adequately used in various furniture spheres. It is quite difficult to list all the directions that use this material. Profiles under the MDF are used to create doors, frame facades, a variety of types of cabinet furniture. Using the MDF profile, full-fledged sets are created, which combines models of different sizes and species.

Facade Profile MDF.

Most often, it is the final chord in the manufacture of furniture items. In addition, it is used as a semi-finished product when creating a variety of furniture parts.

What profiles are:

• facade inserts
• cornis
• board for a wardrobe or table
• overlay
• profile for drawers or beds
• mDF frame profile
• profiles "Patina".

The profile can be covered by the following facing materials:

• wood veneer. In the process of screwing the profile of the MDF, the enveloping method is used, which gives a profile or cornice with a complete appearance. Used to thicken the edge of the shield element, frame or cornice, as decorative or overhead furniture elements, for the door frame, plinth, wall panels
• wood veneer with finishing finish
• film "Patina", which creates the effect of aging and benefits this facade from others. Such facade is very similar to natural wood. Such furniture items are characterized by elegance. PVC film is applied to the facade, which is covered with patina and varnish
• pVC film. This film is resistant to aging, mechanical and chemical action, temperature drops, direct solar rays. Gives material strength, resistant to the formation of stains. It happens transparent or pigmented, for example, a pattern texture texture, glossy or matte, rigid or elastic, smooth or deep textural. Such a coating is able to imitate any surface.
• cPL film. CPL is a newest technological layered plastic, which is performed by completely different technology than conventional decorative coatings, for example, finish films, decorative paper. Products covered with such a film are distinguished by high durability, wear resistance, resistance to temperature fluctuations and humidity level
• finish film. This option is the most budget and low-quality. In fact, it is a paper that is processed by thermoactive resin. This coating has a very short time preserves attractiveness. High sensitivity to wet cleaning. Film in a short time loses its appearance and stops being decorating the room.

The segment of frame facades in the manufacture of furniture is wide and never ceases to expand. Such facades are characterized by an attractive appearance and ease of manufacture in comparison with other varieties of facades.

A chipboard, decorative glass and mirror, translucent plastic, eco-leather and many other materials can be used as an insertion under the frame. These materials are inserted into the profile using a special seal. The MDF frame is firmly and reliably glued, after which it is a single design, withstanding a long period of operation.

Profile thick ranges from 16 to 22 mm, and width from 50 to 80 mm. The grooves of such profiles make it possible to mount filling in a thickness of 4 mm, for example, glass or mirror, up to 10 mm, for example, facade LDSP. With the thickness of filling to 10 mm, the installation is carried out in conjunction with a special silicone seal.

Since the framework facades are made from MDF, their environmental indicators are far superior to the facades using wood chips, and the imported frame profiles and filling in the domestic market, lined with PVC film, constitute the competitive facades for water resistance and resistance to mechanical damage.

The creation of such facades is absolutely troubled. For film facades there is a problem of non-standard sizes. As a result, it is possible to create products of any size in a step of 1 mm, which is of great importance in the manufacture of furniture items by individual order. If the framework will be damaged during operation, it can be dismantled and replaced with a new one. By request of the client, experts can handle the facade on the milling machine to create absolutely any pattern on its surface.

The MDF profile for facades is highly ethnic material, because the base of the material is wood fibers, pre-dissolved and dried. For gluing, synthetic adhesives are not used. The main adhesive composition is Lignin, which is formed from timber during heating.

As a supporting design, dry, oversized wooden planks or drywall structures (1), attached to the wall perpendicular to the long side of the panels with a gap of 30 cm (on the ceiling, the maximum gap between the placters is 40 cm). If the wall is uneven, then the planks are better to fill in the level of substituting the wedges, using a longer dowel of nails. Next, the profile (3) is fixed, in which the lining will be installed (2). Each panel is attached to a stapler to wooden straps or a 9.5 mm self-tapping screw to a plasterboard frame. The last panel must be adjusted to the perpendicular wall, scuffing the length of the required strip. It is required to leave the technological slot 10-15 mm and finish the profile.

The proposed angular and other profiles allow you to place the room of any configuration.

The quality of the panels allows, as already mentioned, use them not only for walls, but also for the ceiling.
