MEDITE SMARTPLY discuss eco-friendly wood options that designers and makers should be utilising across their projects.
Sustainability remains a key trend in the year ahead in interior design. As people continue to look at how they can do their bit for the environment, it’s important for furniture makers and designers to use more sustainable materials in their projects and designs to meet demands, such as bamboo, recycled textiles and of course – wood.
Sustainably manufactured
As a market leading manufacturer of environmentally conscious engineered wood panels, our commitment to sustainability is core to all levels of our business at MEDITE SMARTPLY; from our sustainably managed forests, to the manufacture of low embodied carbon materials, which contribute to sustainable building.
MEDITE SMARTPLY’s environmentally conscious products ensure a sustainable building material, storing carbon throughout their lifetime. Sourced from sustainably managed forests in Ireland, both the MDF and OSB ranges are FSC certified. The MDF range is also CARB2 compliant and our OSB range is all manufactured with no added formaldehyde – putting MEDITE SMARTPLY at the forefront of ‘low formaldehyde’ innovation in Europe.
The innovative MDF range
MEDITE SMARTPLY’s extensive range of MDF products offer standard, speciality, and technical variants, to meet a multitude of specifications. MEDITE MDF is created using finely milled pine and spruce, which are pressed together to make them flat and smooth without any inconsistencies. This allows furniture makers to achieve an even and uniform finish for flawless spray painting and veneering.
Cabinetry and furniture makers for kitchens and bathrooms will find MEDITE MR and EXTERIOR suitable products thanks to its moisture resistance properties. EXTERIOR was originally developed for outdoor applications, but contractors have recently specified the panel as a substitute for birch plywood for interior bathroom and shower panelling. Those working on laminating projects, could consider using MEDITE PREMIER, a multi-purpose MDF suitable for the thinnest laminates and surface coatings. For interior fit out applications, there is MEDITE CLEAR, an MDF panel manufactured with no added formaldehyde, developed specifically for use in environmentally sensitive interior applications, where formaldehyde emissions need to be kept to the minimum.
MEDITE OPTIMA, the latest product in the MEDITE MDF range is a specially engineered, higher density moisture resistant MDF panel with superior finishing properties. This robust panel is ideal for applications where users need added density, unrivalled machinability and higher surface quality than is found in standard moisture resistant panels.
