Healthy Creativity with MEDITE MDF [Blog]

A blog written by MEDITE SMARTPLY

As the world starts to show some signs of returning to normality, questions are being asked about the health and vitality of the buildings we live and work in.

Forbes recently reported that in a survey conducted by Wakefield Research, 68% of people do not feel completely safe working in the employer’s buildings. This is just one demonstration that while working towards creating modern, design-led buildings appropriate for the new ways of working, architects and designers must make the right choices to ensure they are also healthy environments for all occupants.

The benefits of MEDITE MDF

MEDITE SMARTPLY has worked to develop its leading MEDITE MDF range to allow architects, designers and fabricators to make spaces that meet both design and health goals.

The result is an innovative, versatile and sustainable product range that offers solutions to an extremely wide range of applications – ten different families of MDF products and many variants, and over 400 possible specifications, which offers greater freedom for everyday design problems.

MDF doesn’t have to be a standard panel, and over the past two decades MDF has developed extensively. The MEDITE SMARTPLY range shows this by having MEDITE MDF that includes technically specialised products from moisture and water resistance, to flame retardance and is suitable for a range of different applications, such as office fit outs, bathrooms, kitchens, and even furniture.

Its outstanding machinability, strength and uniformity, allows fabricators to create bespoke structures to cater specifically to their clients’ needs. A host of creations can be found on MEDITE SMARTPLY’s recently launched members-only community of MDF enthusiasts, giving people a chance to share their work, gain inspiration, make contacts whilst also giving you the opportunity to win prizes.

MEDITE SMARTPLY are continuously developing their MDF and OSB ranges to allow designers to be attentive to the vitality of the indoor spaces they contribute to, offering a cleaner, safer indoor spaces for occupants.

Formaldehyde is a substance that occurs naturally in all organic materials, including wood, in very small amounts that may be off-gassed or emitted over time. The MEDITE range is independently tested and exceeds the stringent CARB2 standard for formaldehyde content and off-gassing levels. There are also ranges that have been manufactured with guaranteed no added formaldehyde and also exceed the E1 European Standard level for those sensitive environments.

One such product is MEDITE CLEAR. Specially designed for sensitive interior applications such as hospitals, schools and care homes, it has been proven to have a formaldehyde content of less than 1.0mg/100g—even less than the general outdoor ambient level.

This made it an ideal choice for the refurbishment of Tipperary Museum of Hidden History in the heart of Ireland’s ancient east. It was specified to manufacture components such as display cases and plinths within its interior fit out to protect the museum’s precious artefacts.
