Xanita MDF
Xanita® MDF is a biocomposite wood panel that’s manufactured by sandwiching two outer 3mm to 9mm thick MDF skins over Xanita Core, a natural cellulose, VOC-free fibreboard “wafer,” made entirely from recovered and upcycled kraft paper waste.
Xanita Core exhibits twice the crush-strength of expanded honeycomb, commonly found inside hollow-cores doors. This allows for large, ultra-lightweight panels to be introduced into design projects, often including:
- Architectural flush panel doors
- Contemporary furniture designs
- Floating shelves
- Decorative suspended ceiling and wall beams
Thousands of Xanita boards of various grades have been used in residential and commercial projects since 2008 in Australia.
Recognisable clients include:
- Qantas
- Prada
- Country Road
- Coles, Woolworths
- Target
- National Geographic
- Just Jeans
- MYER
Xanita MDF is available in the following popular board sizes:
- 2400x1200x36mm
- 2400x1200x42mm
- 2400x1200x48mm
- 3000x1200x36mm
- 3000x1200x42mm

There are three ways to purchase Xanita MDF:
- Purchase a “3-wafer pizza-pack” direct from Xanita’s Australian e-Store and lay the board up DIY style.
- Purchase ready-pressed board from select, leading joinery businesses.
- Purchase ready-pressed board from one of three Xanita panel-pressing partners in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. Contact us for details of your closest partner.
Choose any brand of timber veneer or high pressure laminate, or specify the boards to be supplied with raw MDF finish for lacquer coating with VOC-free paints.
