Which wood material to use for Sliding Door


overdrev

Recommended Posts

I want to build a sliding door cupboard,  consisting of several doors sized 210 cm x 90 cm

 

my question is : what material is best and what thickness ?

 

I can chose between MDF, Chipboard, or Plywood

 

The most important for me is a feeling of stability and quality feel - plus that the door does not distort over time.  Cost is not so

important factor.

Plywood is definitely the most rigid. I use structural softwood ply all the time for little bits of furniture. Door panels will be a lot more rigid and light if you use ply sheets bounded by a thicker pine frame. But that's a whole load more effort.

Thank you everyone    Super appreciated 

 

1. I cannot get premade near us, and I also want to coat with Fenix. I will be able to get this done advantageously by a friend here otherwise it would be prohibitive 

 

2. my wife loves a plain surface, I certainly understand shaker would be easier and I have done these before

 

3. The area is a bedroom so it is dry. 
 

So it is really a question as to which is the most stable material for this use.  
 

@nod What material are these ?  They look great.
