The main consideration factors when we are shopping for mirrors are price, quality, and material. Often, we forego high quality due to its exorbitant price. But what about choosing a frame which gives you the highest standard at attractive prices? The answer is MDF.

MDF looks like wood and retains many of its properties.

MDF is the short form for Medium Density Fiberwood. This is a common material used for furniture. MDF is made from wooden fibers. These fibers are pressed to a density of 600 to 800 kg per cubic meter, then the end product is a compact fiberboard, which retains many of the properties of wood. For example, MDF looks like wood.

• MDF is cost effective as it is cheaper than wood. It generally does not require maintenance, but should be kept away from water or high humidity.

• It uses recycled wood that is crushed to fibers and then compressed to make the board.

• Easy to paint with different colors and apply unique foil finishes due to its smooth surface.
• Shaping MDF is easier than shaping solid wood.

MDF frames are slightly more bulky, as the fibers within them are compressed. However, MDF has a good texture and in most cases, it is long lasting, with proper retention of hue and color.

So, next time, when you go to buy a mirror, do consider the MDF for both is value in price and variety in designs.
