FAQ's

1. What is the difference between melamine faced chipboard (MFC) and postform?

They both consist of a chipboard core. However one is covered form both sides in a melamine paper of about 0.1mm thick and postform covered in a high pressure laminate (0.6 - 0.9mm). MFC tends to be about half the price of postform, that is why one usually finds mfc used in cupboard carcases and then its fascias (door and drawer fronts) made from postform. Postform has a much higher scratch and heat resistance compared to MFC hence the differece in price.
