What does MDO mean in PRODUCTS

Medium Density Overlay (MDO) is an engineered wood product used in many industries, including transportation and construction. MDO consists of multiple layers of plywood bonded together with a resin that provides flexibility and strength.

The bonding resin used in MDO gives it considerable strength and makes it highly resistant to moisture damage, making it ideal for outdoor use. Additionally, because the layers of plywood and resin are compacted together during production, MDO is fairly lightweight yet sturdy enough for structural applications.

Due to its durability and weather-resistant properties, MDO can often be found in commercial signage as well as paneling on exterior walls or in workplaces where moisture resistance is important. It is also often used as a replacement for lumber in some structural applications such as staircases or benches.

The cost of MDO will vary depending on the size and type of material you need. Generally speaking, larger sheets tend to be more expensive than smaller sheets due to their size and weight; however, purchasing bulk quantities may result in lower overall costs per sheet.

Working with any large sheets may require a certain level of expertise and safety precautions should always be taken when cutting or drilling into the material with power tools. A dust mask should always be worn when sawing or sanding the material to avoid inhalation of particles from the adhesive resin within the panels.
