Understanding the grooves in our MDF timber framed painted doors

When it comes to our MDF timber framed painted doors, we take pride in the craftsmanship and quality that goes into every piece. However, one thing to keep in mind is that due to the nature of MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), achieving a perfectly smooth surface in the grooves can be quite challenging.

MDF is an engineered wood product made from wood fibers, wax, and resin, giving it a dense and uniform structure. While this consistency makes it a great material for painted finishes, it also means that certain areas—like grooves—can absorb paint and primer differently, leading to subtle texture variations. Unlike 2-pack finishes used on cabinetry, which create a high-gloss, ultra-smooth look through an intensive spraying and baking process, our doors have a hand-finished touch that gives them a more natural appearance.

Over time, we have refined our techniques to minimise these imperfections as much as possible, but this is the best result achievable with our handcrafted process. That said, we are always exploring new alternatives and improvements to enhance our finishes while maintaining the unique quality of our doors.
