Furniture use, appearance reference and the first parts you want to develop
A panel photo, colour reference or furniture drawing is enough to start. We can work through the core, finish and supplied operations with you, then put the selected combination into the sample and quotation.
CHOOSE THE CORE, SURFACE & REVERSE TOGETHER
A finished face on the MDF your component needs.
Melamine MDF uses resin-impregnated decorative paper fused to an MDF substrate under heat and pressure. It gives your component a decorative broad face, with the cut edges and machined details finished as part of the furniture process. Choose solid colours, printed woodgrains or decorative effects with a matt, gloss or textured surface.
Choose the core for the room and the work.
Standard interior MDF serves dry cabinetry and furniture. For kitchen units, bathroom storage or other humid interiors, ask for a moisture-resistant construction with protection at joints, cut edges and openings. Include the actual wet exposure, processing and fixing requirements in the brief.
Choose every face that will be seen.
A door shows its back when opened; an open shelf shows its underside. Specify matching decorative faces or a different reverse, and identify the presentation face on the drawing. The face-and-back construction stays with the core and finished thickness in the order.
MDF has a wood-fibre body; melamine particleboard uses a particle core and melamine plywood uses veneer layers. Tell us which substrate your workshop needs even when the decorative surfaces look similar. For painting or your own veneering, compare plain MDF.
FIVE SHEET FORMATS · THICKNESS REFERENCES 1.9MM & 2–25MM
Choose the sheet around the parts, not just its overall area.
Our sheet formats are 1220 × 2440, 1830 × 2440, 1220 × 2745, 1830 × 3660 and 2100 × 2800mm, with thickness references of 1.9mm and 2–25mm. Select the format with the MDF grade, thickness, decor and face/reverse combination; your quotation identifies the complete board being supplied.
Use your component schedule to compare the five formats
Sheet format
What to check against your parts
1220 × 2440mm
Fit the planned blanks, edge trims and saw kerfs into your standard cutting workflow.
1830 × 2440mm
Check whether the extra width fits another full column of parts with the required grain direction.
1220 × 2745mm
Compare longer sides or fronts with the available cutting length and your machine capacity.
1830 × 3660mm
Plan long components or additional rows, together with handling, storage and face direction.
2100 × 2800mm
Review wide parts, nesting and equipment access before choosing the larger format.
Make added length useful.
A longer sheet helps when it fits a long component, another complete row or a layout with fewer joints. Include outside trims, kerfs and the selected pattern positions before counting usable parts.
Make added width useful.
Extra width only adds a cutting position when the whole part and its separation fit. Mark permitted rotations; a woodgrain door cannot simply turn through 90° if the installed grain must remain vertical.
Compare the complete delivered scope.
Send actual blank or finished-part dimensions, quantities and allowed rotations. We can compare formats with cutting, edging, drilling, packing and destination requirements on the same basis. Keep complete usable spare parts separate from trims and unusable offcuts; a lower panel price alone does not describe the cost of the finished component.
CABINETS, WARDROBES & INTERIOR FURNITURE
Give every furniture part the finish and construction it needs.
Cabinet and wardrobe carcasses
Coordinate sides, tops, bottoms, shelves and backs. Identify visible interiors and exposed ends; thin backs and supported shelves can retain different thicknesses within the same decor programme.
Doors and drawer fronts
Bring the primary face, reverse and edges together. Include hinge positions, handle details, finished gaps and the fronts seen as a group. A representative front helps check appearance and operation.
Open shelving and retail displays
Specify visible undersides, shelf edges and cable openings. Include spans, loading and supports with the component design, and identify surfaces subject to frequent handling or cleaning.
Kitchen and utility furniture
Choose the core around humidity, splashes and cleaning. Detail sink or plumbing openings, lower edges and joints alongside the desired colour and finish.
For decorative wall panels or removable covers, send the elevation, joints and mounting arrangement. Where fire, acoustic or heavily used work-surface performance matters, include the project requirement so the documents and proposed construction address that particular use.
CHOOSE THE FINISH FOR YOUR COMPONENT
Bring the right surface into the same furniture order.
Laminate grade, thickness, bonding, reverse and edges
Other coated or wrapped MDF
The specified coating, film or facing system
Surface identity, profile, finished appearance and required performance
A printed woodgrain and a natural veneer can create different furniture effects. If your reference uses HPL, acrylic, PET or a wrapped profile, include that information or send the actual panel. We can discuss the corresponding MDF, surface and fabrication route.
ONE BOARD DESCRIPTION FOR SAMPLING AND PRODUCTION
Keep the finish and working dimensions on one specification.
Give each selected board a material reference that includes its MDF grade, nominal and delivered thickness, format, primary face, reverse, texture and sheen. Add the accepted physical finish and any grain direction. Those details keep a repeat request clear even when several parts share the same colour name.
Thickness, performance and measurement details
State the thickness measurement stage and condition, with the upper and lower limits needed for grooves, hardware or flush fitting. Specify length, width, squareness and flatness requirements using the agreed measurement and support arrangement. For a blind recess or opposing cuts, check the minimum accepted thickness and the material that remains.
Density, bending, internal bond, screw withdrawal, moisture condition and emissions address different buying requirements. Include the relevant value, method and board configuration when the project specifies them. Surface wear, scratch or stain criteria stay with the selected facing; fire or acoustic information stays with the construction or assembly it covers.
For a close colour or gloss match, retain the physical reference, lighting and viewing conditions. Keep the instrument, measurement method and geometry with any numerical acceptance criterion, and use the same uncovered surface condition for later comparisons.
MIXED COLOURS, THICKNESSES & FURNITURE SETS
Make a mixed order easy to receive and put into production.
Separate each thickness, MDF grade, sheet format and face/reverse combination into its own material line. White fronts, woodgrain sides and thinner backs can share a furniture programme while retaining their own quantities and sample references.
Calculate the required whole sheets and reserves for each material line. Spare woodgrain components cannot cover a shortage of a different colour or thickness. Decide whether the packs should follow your decor storage, cutting sequence or furniture sets, then keep the material identity visible on every pack and component label.
For staged or repeat deliveries, identify the parts that will sit beside earlier supply. Retain the original order and accepted board-and-edge sample so any change to the decor, core or processing can be reviewed against the furniture being continued.
CUTTING, EDGING & HARDWARE
Approve a finished part before repeating the workshop process.
Clean cuts on both faces
Trial the selected saw or router, support and feed conditions on the actual board. Check entry and exit edges, narrow strips and corners, including cuts across the pattern. Inspect again beside the adhesive joint after edging.
An edge that fits and matches
Select the band material, decor, texture, thickness and profile. Compare the bonded and trimmed corner with the face. Keep sawn blank, edge-ready core and final component dimensions distinct: pre-milling removes material while edging adds it.
Handles, holes and routed profiles
Show visible core areas and the coating, liner or fitting needed there. Mark the final dimensional datum for drilling so hardware locations remain correct after edge preparation. Include pilot holes, penetration, edge distances and the actual fitting in the trial.
A completed first component lets your workshop review dimensions, squareness, grain direction, face-to-edge appearance and hardware operation together. Keep its material and drawing revisions with the accepted sample, and revisit the affected detail when the board, tooling, adhesive or operation changes.

REPORTS & CHECKS FOR YOUR SELECTED PANEL
Give purchasing the evidence behind the supplied board.
Recent order: 17mm slotted MDF with matching channels.
A PanelSource order brought together 750 white boards, 230 brown boards and 6,000 aluminium channels. HQC Inspection recorded PASS on 17 October 2026, with board and channel measurements, product photographs and an assembly check.
For shopfitting or display-panel supply, see how the finish, routed slots and accessory fit were checked together. The case covers the specific 17mm slotted-panel order.
Our published MDF reports support the substrate discussion alongside your selected melamine surface. The 18mm white MDF report · PDF records 0.080 mg/m³ and PASS, using a method with reference to EN 717-1:2004. The HMR MDF report · PDF records the same result and PASS for its green-board specimen.
These reports cover the MDF specimens identified in the documents. Send the grade, thickness, decorative facing and destination for your order; we connect the relevant emission documents to that configuration. Surface performance, moisture requirements and any fire or assembly requirement have their own inspection or test scope.

Quantity per configuration, production lot, pack labels, visible groups and reserves
Before production, bring the quotation, material schedule, drawings and accepted samples into agreement. Before dispatch, check the distribution of quantities across each thickness, decor and reverse, with main supply and reserves identified. Production and pack records then refer to the same material lines.
At receiving, inspect the protected packs and record any transit damage before mixing material into stock. Compare representative boards with their labels and retained references. Keep affected packs identifiable if a detail needs review, and check the first processed component against the accepted trial.
PROTECT THE FINISH THROUGH PROCESSING AND DELIVERY
Keep clean faces separated and parts easy to identify.
Support sheets and components during transport and storage, keeping faces clear of abrasive debris and sharp edges. Check access routes, racks and handling equipment for the selected sheet format. Retain material-line and grain-direction labels as boards move to cutting, edging and assembly.
Follow the selected board’s conditioning and processing requirements for your workshop environment. Keep wet or damaged material separate for assessment. Use the care instructions for the supplied face, and trial a proposed cleaner on a retained piece; liquid collecting at openings or abrasive treatment can affect the finished component.

Melamine MDF combines resin-impregnated decorative paper with an MDF substrate under heat and pressure. We make the MDF substrates in our own factory and supply the selected face and reverse. Cut edges and machined openings receive the finishing detail chosen for the furniture component.
Which sizes and thicknesses can I order?
Our sheet formats are 1220 × 2440, 1830 × 2440, 1220 × 2745, 1830 × 3660 and 2100 × 2800mm, with thickness references of 1.9mm and 2–25mm. We quote the selected format together with the MDF grade, thickness, decor and face/reverse combination.
Can you supply cut, edged and drilled furniture parts?
Yes. Choose sheets, cut blanks or agreed prepared components. Send finished dimensions, the edge schedule, hardware drawing, grain direction and quantities. A completed sample lets your team review appearance, dimensions and fitting before repeating the work across the order.
Can melamine MDF be used for kitchen or bathroom furniture?
We can develop a moisture-resistant MDF construction with the selected finish and protection at edges, joints and openings. Tell us about splashes, humidity, cleaning or persistent wet exposure so the board and finishing route suit the actual location. Standard interior MDF serves dry furniture.
Can the two faces have different colours?
Yes. Specify the primary face and reverse for the parts that remain visible, including a door back or shelf underside. The matching or different finishes stay with the core, finished thickness and accepted sample in the board specification.
Is melamine MDF the same as particleboard, plywood, veneer MDF or HPL?
The MDF core uses wood fibres; particleboard uses particles and plywood uses veneer layers. Melamine has decorative paper fused to the board, natural veneer MDF has a real wood facing, and HPL-faced MDF uses a separate bonded laminate sheet. Send the material or finish reference you need so the quotation covers the correct construction.
Does a larger sheet always reduce cutting waste?
Compare the actual component sizes, grain direction, trims, saw kerfs and permitted rotations. Added length or width only increases the part count when another complete cutting position fits. Include equipment capacity, handling and appearance grouping when comparing formats.
What sample should I request?
Start with the actual decor and texture on the proposed MDF. Use a cut, drilled and edge-banded corner to approve the processed detail, or a representative component when dimensions, hardware and adjoining fronts matter. Retain the accepted material and drawing references for production.
Can you provide MDF test reports and production inspection records?
The published 18mm white MDF and HMR MDF reports each record 0.080 mg/m³ and PASS for their identified formaldehyde-test specimens, using a method with reference to EN 717-1:2004. Send the selected grade, thickness, facing and destination so relevant documents can be connected to your order. Production photographs, dimensional records and agreed inspection can accompany the supply.
What information helps you quote a mixed furniture order?
Send the application, decor, thickness, size and quantity for each face/reverse configuration. Include the supplied cutting, edges, machining, reserves and destination. We help complete the board choices and keep material lines identifiable through samples, quotation, packing and repeat deliveries.
Let’s prepare the panels for your next furniture run.
Send the furniture use, finish reference or cutting list you already have. We’ll help choose the MDF, face and reverse, arrange a useful sample and quote the sheets or prepared components for your order.
