What is The Difference_ Plywood vs MDF vs Particle Board

1. What is The Difference: Plywood vs MDF vs Particle Board Are you planning for kitchen renovation this festive season? But are you confused about which material to use to construct your kitchen cabinets and drawers? To solve your confusion, we have brought this article to educate you about plywood, particle board and MDF. Acknowledge their pros and cons in the article below and decide which material is better for your kitchen. Plywood It is the type of wood used in construction that constructors make by binding and pressing thin sheets of wood. They convert it to a solid material that one can use for tough and durable kitchen cabinets. The kitchen cabinets made up of plywood are heavy-duty and can easily sustain the heavy weight of your utensils. Pros ● It is solid and very less sensitive to damage. ● Manufacturers use High-quality adhesives to bind the plywood and thus provide high durability. ● The cross grain pattern of the plywood makes them the better substances to drill and fit the screws and nails. ● Plywood doesn’t catch moisture easily, especially high-quality plywood such as marine plywood.
