The Benefits of Solid Wood for Bathroom Remodels

There are many benefits of solid wood for bathroom designs, remodels and renovations. For one, solid wood is sturdier in design and has more features per grain than medium-density fiberboards. Similarly, solid wood pieces can literally go with anything; traditional, contemporary, modern and post-contemporary designs. Whether opting for oak, elm, pine or other grains, solid wood is designed to correlate with all new and existing designs and décor. However, there are some drawbacks to choosing solid wood as opposed to MDF. These include but are not limited to:

  • Solid wood may be sturdier but does contract due to changes in heat and humidity.
  • You must control heat and humidity conditions in order to prevent the wood from shrinking, crackling or buckling.
  • As your interior designer experts in Miami, we can help you choose the best-sold wood sets for your kitchen essentials: cabinetry, stand-alone towel units, shelving, interior shelving, and much more.
  • Certain wood sets may clash with other wood designs and grains. Therefore, it’s important to allow us to mix and match, or find single grains to meet all your bathroom design needs within time and budget.

The Benefits of Medium Density Fiberboards

Medium density fiberboards are heralded for their strength and performance. In fact, many industry experts believe they perform much better than solid wood in certain areas. MDF boards are made from recycled wood fibers and resin, and are machine-dried and pressed to produce dense, stable sheets. Here are some of the advantages of using MDF over solid wood for the bathroom – kitchen – or home remodels and renovations:

  • MDF is more stable than solid wood – especially when it comes to changes in heat and humidity.
  • MDF boards – unlike solid wood – do not expand and contract horizontally or vertically in the presence of temperature and humidity changes.
  • MDF boards do not require constant care and maintenance – cabinetry, doors, and paneling. Solid wood – on the other hand – does require maintenance and care due to splitting, crackling and bubbling.
  • MDF boards are superior-grade materials, which are water-resistant and designed to withstand all bathroom elements.
