Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure.MDF is generally denser than plywood and much denser and stronger than particle board. MDF does not contain knots or rings, making it more uniform than natural woods during cutting and in service. MDF may be glued, doweled or laminated.

HPL is the direct descendant of the original plastic laminate. It is considered to be one of the most durable decorative surface materials and is available with special performance properties including chemical, fire and wear resistance.Laminate panel is a type of manufactured timber made from thin sheets of substrates or wood veneer. It is similar to the more widely used plywood, except that it has a plastic, protective layer on one or both sides. HPL panels are preferred by Architects due to their pastel color scale, natural wood designs and metallic looking HPL is the direct descendant of the original plastic laminate Exterior panels are Duromer High Pressure Laminates with extremely effective weather protection. The weather protective coating consists of double hardened acrylic polyurethane resins. They are produced in laminate presses under high pressure at high temperature. These panels can be used to clad the gate made of Stainless Steel or MS frame to create a beautiful and unique look to the gate.

It is made out of exploded wood fibres that have been highly compressed. It is similar to particle board and medium-density fibreboard, but is denser and much stronger and harder.It differs from particle board in that the bonding of the wood fibres requires no additional materials, although resin is often added. The hardboard variety is made without resin. The HDF version is made with resin. Unlike particle board, it will not split or crack.

Plywood is a sheet material manufactured from thin layers or “plies” of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to one another.All plywood bind resin and wood fibre sheets (cellulose cells are long, strong and thin) to form a composite material. The alternation of the grain is called cross–graining and has several important benefits: it reduces the tendency of wood to split when nailed at the edges; it reduces expansion and shrinkage, providing improved dimensional stability; and it makes the strength of the panel consistent across all directions.
