MFD Panel Board outdoors?

[corre]

Byggmax MDF panel board, Is it out of the question to use this type of panel outdoors? I currently have a front door with a "window" routed in masonite, which is in bad shape and has separated from the surface of the door. Initially, I considered adding grooved plywood to the door, but that is 13mm thick. This panel is only 6mm.

My plan is to strip the door down to the aluminum layer that forms the exterior part of the construction. Then, glue the board using contact adhesive, and afterward, treat the surface with my regular Jotun paint, which the rest of the house is painted with, possibly priming with something better than standard panel primer.

Will it backfire if I renovate the door with a panel board instead?

MDF and moisture usually do not make a good combination. It typically states that MDF is for indoor and outdoor use, but with direct rain on it, it will penetrate the edges, start to swell, and then never regain its shape. Formplywood is an alternative; admittedly, the door will then be smooth and you might want it grooved, but the material withstands moisture much better. Price example http://bonnet.se/formplywood-2500x1200x9mm-combi.html, just don't forget that this board also needs to be sealed if you cut into it, read here http://www.byggmax.com/se-sv/byggva...gskivor-hyllplan/plywood-osb/1004/formplywood.

Tracked plywood you shall have.

Sounds like that's the most sensible option.
Are they available in thinner versions than 13mm?
Don't need any support here, just the appearance.

Yes, it is nice, no knots like in pine plywood.

Ah, let's see what Optimera says about it...
If I had the energy and a long guide rail, I could have milled 6mm plywood myself, but it will likely show if you miss a line by 1.5mm
