MDF Alcove Cupboards

By Thomas Matthew

At Thomas Matthew, we love MDF alcove cupboards. Don’t get us wrong, we also value the beauty of real wood too. However, to keep up with the changing times and advancements in manufacturing materials, we recognize the benefits of MDF. In fact, in many aspects, MDF outperforms traditional wooden counterparts. When it comes to manufacturing and fitting alcove units, opting for an MDF alcove cupboard is not only the best choice but also the most cost-effective one. With a wide range of designs, styles, and finishes at your disposal, we ensure that you find your perfect mdf alcove unit.

MDF Alcove Units Are Resistant To movement

All experienced carpenters understand that wood has the tendency to expand and contract over time, a characteristic that applies to both alcove cupboards and other wooden furniture. One notable advantage of using MDF for your alcoves is its resistance to such changes, as it remains flat while natural wood may flex and twist. This is partly because MDF is a man-made material that undergoes treatment and drying before processing. Consequently, the moisture content in MDF sheets is minimal. In contrast, wood often contains higher levels of moisture, which, when eventually dried out, can lead to cracking.

MDF Is Perfect For Painting

MDF alcove cupboards are an ideal choice for a beautifully painted finish. MDF, being a smooth and ungrained material, facilitates the creation of a flawless surface. With no knots, minimal grain raise, and zero filling, it makes the painting of mdf alcove cabinets a breeze.

Resistant To Temperature Changes

Compared to their wooden counterparts, MDF alcoves offer an additional advantage – their ability to withstand drastic temperature changes. This feature proves significant when constructing alcove cabinets on either side of a fireplace. While real wood is highly susceptible to expansion and contraction due to heat and cold, MDF maintains its structural integrity without compromise.

Cost effective

Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) is a versatile and cost-effective alternative to using real wood in furniture construction applications. MDF is created from wood shreds, particles, and fibres that are bound together with glue and pressure to form a dense yet lightweight material that can easily be cut or machined into the desired shape. Its low cost compared to other types of wood makes MDF an ideal choice for those looking for a cost-effective solution for their construction needs.

Testimonials

"I have now completed 7 projects with Thomas Matthew. As a busy interior designer I need to work with trades I can trust, who are thoughtful and courteous to my clients, deliver on time, within budget and exceed expectations. All of this and more can be said of this company. Matthew never fails to understand that the work they are doing for me is generally only part of a much bigger project and any slippage in timing affects other trades and the schedule in general, this is a rare quality. He and the guys he employs all did their apprenticeships together, they have therefore worked as a team for years, are a known quantity and perform as a finely oiled machine. My professional life became a whole lot easier the day I employed Matthew. We already have more projects in the pipeline and I could not feel more confident that they will continue to deliver the fabulous work myself and my clients demand. Val Plummer At No 19 Interiors"
"We are so pleased with the quality of the new hand made cupboards which have transformed our lounge, As the units were built off site, this helped to keep any disruption and time spent fitting them to a minimum. The workmen were professional, polite and respectful in our home at all times."
"I had Thomas Matthew build me a beautiful handmade kitchen. The look and quality of the workmanship was perfection. The kitchen was a traditional in frame style kitchen, hand painted in French grey with corian worktops. I could not be happier and would highly recommend this company."
