Mdf panels for shaker doors
12/12/19
When making shaker doors I use maple frames and Plum Creek high density mdf. I’m thinking maybe I should be using moisture resistant mdf on sink cabinet doors. I really like the way the high density mdf finishes but have no idea how the moisture resistant finishes and if it tends to warp. I have used the exterior type mdf for some outside work but never liked working with it and not sure if this is same material as moisture resistant. Any info appreciated.
Thank you,
Al

We have made one piece mdf doors for bath and kitchen for several years in many profiles from shaker to traditional bead and panel. We have not experienced a single failure related to the mdf. Obviously it is finished properly. We have had no finish failures either. Customers like the doors and the price point.

I use Medex moisture resistant MDF for some wainscot panels in a bathroom some years back. It finished nicely and has held up well.
