Rep Power: 0  |  Door Casing I'm torn between MDF or Pine. Both can be purchased primed. Both come in 14' and 16' lengths. Only downside I can think of is Pine would contain finger joints. I know pine is generally cheaper Can someone help me make up my mind. I need to buy about 300 lf. Thanks in advance |

Rep Power: 5 | Is the moulding going anywhere near water or on a ceramic floor? If so, use pine. MDF will bubble if exposed to water/steam, etc.

Rep Power: 0 | So beyond the concern of being in close proximity of water or ceramics, there isn't any other factors that would influence your decision ? |

Rep Power: 5 | price. thats about it  MDF won't splinter when you cut it either, but thats all in how the craftsman cuts his product.
