    Customer Questions
    HOW IS MDF MADE?
    MDF is created by bonding wood fibres together using a resin adhesive, high pressure, and high temperatures. The wood fibres are often created from breaking down hard or soft wood residuals.  MDF is an engineered wood-based material that commonly comes in sheet form and is very versatile for both machining and woodworking.  Typically, MDF consists of 82% wood fibre, 9% urea-formaldehyde, 1% paraffin wax and 8% water.
    WHAT IS MDF USED FOR?
    MDF is very useful for a range of applications, such as furniture, walls, cabinetry, and flooring.  It is often the case that moisture-resistant MDF has a green colour and fire retardant MDF has a blue or red colour.
    IS MDF SAFE WHEN PAINTED?
    Yes. It is safe to paint MDF.
    CAN MDF BE USED OUTDOORS?
    MDF is generally intended for internal use only due to its composition. Standard MDF should not be used outdoors as it can swell and deteriorate when exposed to moisture. For environments with occasional moisture, Moisture Resistant MDF can be used but should still be protected from direct water exposure​.

    DELIVERY AND RETURNS

    MGM have 3 different delivery methods, branch delivery, delivered to order and supplier direct. Each of these options carries different charges and restrictions.

     

    Branch Delivery 

    Branch delivery involves MGM delivering goods from their own stock directly to your desired address. MGM Timber operate a delivery service out of all their branches. 

    We aim to deliver all orders within 1-2 working days in most areas but certain postcodes will result in higher lead times and in some cases increased delivery charges. When shopping online, once your postcode has been added, the basket page will automatically calculate your estimated delivery lead times and charges.

    Please contact us before ordering if you are concerned about delivery timescales or have concerns about delivery process e.g. difficult access, weight restrictions. Please note, someone must be at the delivery address to receive the order and all orders are kerbside only!

    For information on Click & Collect at your local branch please click here

    What does it cost?

    For most areas, our delivery charge is £20 (ex-VAT). If your order is over the value of £300 (ex-VAT) it will qualify for FREE delivery.

    For some more remote areas, we have a minimum order value, higher delivery fee and / or free delivery threshold.  We regularly review these and try to keep them as low as possible. 

    To see the delivery cost for your address, please build your order in the basket and add your postcode.  

    For trade customer (cash or credit) branch delivery is free. However, if your basket also contains delivered to order or supplier direct products, an additional charge may be applied.

    What happens after I place an order?

    You will receive an email confirming your order, then your local branch will contact you within one working day to arrange your delivery and agree a specific date.
    What happens on the day of the delivery?

    Deliveries are to the kerbside ONLY. This means that we cannot come into your house with any product ordered. Please ensure you have the necessary ability and equipment (if required) to move the items into your property or to help unload if necessary.
