Mdf Hdf???
What is the difference between MDF and HDF. Is one better than the other, cost. Is there such thing as HDF or is it just a typo?

Thanks
Brian

You got it right! It's Medium Density Fiberboard or High Density Fiberboard. The HDF is better quality and denser than MDF, but also costs more, and it's harder to find. Most home improvement stores have to special order it.
