The unique properties of Fibrabel MDF
The secret behind Fibrabel MDF? Its unique density profile! Fibrabel MDF is a lightweight board with an extremely high density on the surface, making it the ideal board for painting.
Why exactly? By firmly compressing the fibres at the surfaces, a highly compacted, smooth surface that limits the absorption of lacquer and paint is created. As a result, the quality of the surface of a Fibrabel MDF board is at least as good as the quality of a higher-density board. The result: cost savings and less time spent painting.

All MDF producers claim that they are sustainable. How does Unilin Panels stand out from the crowd?
Unilin Panels is a leader in the sector in terms of circularity. In 2021, we became the first manufacturer in the world to recycle MDF on an industrial scale. Thanks to this revolutionary technology, we can reuse wood fibres for the production of high-quality board material, thereby doubling their lifespan. This allows us to save around 380,000 tonnes of wood fibres every year. Unilin Panels is a leader in the sector in terms of circularity.

This allows us to store an additional 130,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
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.
