The changes are designed to help customers choose the right board for their requirements. The range is now grouped into three basic lines – Caberwood MDF Trade, Caberwood MDF Pro and Caberwood MDF Industrial MR.
Business is aimed at tradesmen and DIY customers carrying out small building works, while Pro is for carpenters in high-end applications. Industrial is suitable for joinery and furniture manufacturers for use as a stock material in a manufacturing process.
Previously marketed as Light, Standard and Deep Rout, the products are further supplemented with Moisture Resistant, Moisture Resistant Light and Industrial MR.”
Only one previous grade – MDF Ultralight – is no longer available. Norbord said Caberwood MDF Trade fulfilled the role of Ultralight and was now the lightest grade in the range.
“The new structure means the focus of the three new names is on typical end uses – not the MDF grade,” said regional sales manager David Webb.
