Fibrabel MDF
When you choose MDF, you expect one thing above all: predictability.A stable board that processes smoothly and doesn’t create extra work at finishing stage.
That’s exactly what Fibrabel MDF delivers. With the weight and comfort of a lightweight board.
So everything falls perfectly into place. Even a toy dinosaur.
Why do interior builders choose Fibrabel MDF?
- A superior surface in a lightweight MDF board, ideal for painting.
- One range. Multiple applications:
Available as standard MDF, moisture-resistant (MR), fire-retardant (FR), pre-primed (Prime) or black throughout the core. In various thicknesses and sizes, tailored to your project.
- Sustainably and locally produced:
A Belgian product made from 100% recovered wood of local origin.
A superior surface thanks to a smart density profile
Fibrabel MDF is a lightweight MDF board with exceptionally high surface density. That combination gives you a smooth, closed surface that processes reliably and finishes beautifully across a wide rangeof interior applications.
We compress the fibres at the board surfaces more firmly than in the core. The result? A dense surface that absorbs less and responds evenly during machining and finishing.
In practice, that makes Fibrabel MDF ideal for furniture, bespoke elements and roller shutter boxes, wherever a sleek finish and dimensional stability make all the difference.

FAQ's about Fibrabel MDF
I am looking for a board that I can mill through to the core. Can I do that with Fibrabel MDF?
Certainly! Whether you want to add contoured handles to cabinet doors or create grooves, Fibrabel makes milling simple. If you are looking for a board that you can mill through to the core with ease, look no further than Fibralux MDF.
Every MDF manufacturer claims to be sustainable. What sets Unilin Panels apart?
We lead the sector in circularity. In 2021, we became the first manufacturer in the world to recycle MDF on an industrial scale. Thanks to this breakthrough technology, we reuse wood fibres to produce high-quality board material and double their lifespan. The result? We keep around 130,000 tonnes of additional CO₂ stored every year.
How can I compare the sustainability of Fibrabel MDF with that of other products?
We established several environmental product declarations (EPDs) to analyse the sustainability of our products. These documents are independently verified and state the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. This includes the CO₂ output, water consumption and energy consumption associated with its production. We also have an EPD for our MDF boards, allowing for an objective comparison to be made.
I work on a project basis, so I often need small quantities of boards. Is this an option?
Of course. Your distributor can order virtually any Fibrabel and Fibralux product from our stock list in widths of 1220 and 1310 mm per board. This is a good way to minimise waste.
