MDF
The pattern-maker of interiors: a smooth engineered board that routes into any profile without splintering. Most painted relief, fluting and layered work starts as MDF.
Finishes available
Duco painted any colour, laminated, veneered, deep-routed patterns
Indoor or outdoor
Strictly indoors. Moisture swells it permanently; even HDHMR variants only buy tolerance, not immunity.
Durability
Indoors and painted, many years. Edges chip under impact and repairs need repainting.
Rough cost
Low band. Routed and duco-finished panels typically ₹220 to ₹550 per sq ft
