Farmers Doors – a small yet passionate family business located on the beautiful Gold Coast creating beautiful interior cabinetry to both complement and enhance your home. Part of our eco friendly secret lies in the core of our doors. For this we only use Australian produced E Zero, HMR, MDF board. What does that mean? Well, E Zero MDF is a low formaldehyde emitting MDF product. It has a formaldehyde emission of less than 0.5mg/L. This is lower than the current Australian standard. On top of that the MDF we use is Highly Moisture Resistant. That means it is not only SAFE for you and your family because of the low emissions and its eco friendly nature, but it is also highly durable.
For our Waratah, Provincial, Virginia & American Oak doors, this core is then enclosed in Natural Timber Veneer. This is the key to the genuine beauty of the FARMERS product.
It is a sustainable resource, reusable, recyclable, completely biodegradable and it actually stores carbon. Growing trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon so efficiently that about half the dry weight of a tree is carbon. This carbon remains locked up in the wood for life, even when we use it for veneer. Also, when compared to other materials such as steel, plastics, aluminium or glass, the production of timber veneer uses little energy and so is a very environmentally friendly choice for your kitchen.
We then seal the almost finished product on all sides using an environmentally friendly low emission paint system. Our Pure Waterborne Paint System is backed by the largest paint company in the world. Instead of containing high VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) like most other paints at 60% to 70%, FARMERS uses only low VOC waterborne paint, at only 4%. Our unique layering of this paint, along with hand stressing & rubbed patinas, enhance the natural timber grain and result in a beautiful silky yet tough finish with the strength to endure and to be easily maintained for years to come.
