Surround by Laminex Scallop

MR MDF vs FR MDF?

For most residential interior uses, including bathrooms, hallways, bedrooms, and kitchens, we recommend using MR MDF (Moisture Resistant MDF). If a fire rating is required for a commercial construction project, FR MDF (Fire Rated MDF) is typically used.

If you're uncertain which product is right for your specific needs, please don't hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable team at Bord. We'd be happy to assist you in finding the best solution.
