MFC has several positive attributes, which make it so popular:
It does not require any finishing or treatment, such as other kinds of wood.
It is lightweight, and so easier to work with, and to transport and handle it.
Despite being lightweight, it is hard wearing.
This material is also considerably scratch resistant, and this improves the item’s longevity.
It is heat resistant and water resistant.
Comes in so many different colours and styles, which offers room for choice.
It is relatively affordable, especially when one needs to use a lot of boards or sheets.
It is easy to maintain and to clean.
It is an eco-friendly material since it is mainly made from wood waste and scraps of lumber products such as wood chips, shavings and sawdust, which would otherwise have been thrown away.
The smooth and flat surface makes it ideal to stick decorative laminate or wood veneer.
