Benefits of MDF for Composite Wood Shutters
Is an excellent substrate for veneers. Some varieties are less expensive than many natural woods Isotropic (its properties are the same in all directions as a result of having no grain), so no tendency to split. Consistent in strength and size. Shapes well. Stable dimensions (won’t expand or contract like wood). Easy to finish (i.e., paint)

Drawbacks of MDF for Composite Wood Shutters
Denser than plywood or chipboard (the resins are heavy). Low grade MDF may swell and break when saturated with water. May warp or expand if not sealed. May release formaldehyde, which is a known human carcinogen and may cause allergy, eye and lung irritation when cutting and sanding. Dulls blades more quickly than many woods. Use of tungsten carbide edges cutting tools is almost mandatory, as high speed steel dulls too quickly. Though it does not have a grain in the plane of the board, it does have one into the board. Screwing into the edge of a board will generally cause it to split in a fashion similar to delaminating. Subject to significant shrinkage in low humidity environments. Trim (e.g. baseboards) comes pre-primed, but this is insufficient for fine finish painting. Painting with latex paints is difficult due to rapid water absorption. Most finishes appear uneven and nail holes tend to pucker.
