We offer a range of MDF types to choose from which can be cut to any size or shape using our CNC router, delivering a high level of accuracy and duplication. Whatever shape you require, we can cut it – just send us your drawings in either CAD format or a sketch and we will create it for you. Our CNC router can also be used for rebating, pocketing and hole cutting, not only on MDF sheets but also virtually any other sheet material for additional customisation. We offer the option to add laser cutting, CNC engraving and mitred edges to your MDF sheeting too.
Using the latest in UV printing technology, we can print full sheets of MDF in one go, providing a professional finish at a much faster rate than painting. We currently only list 8x4 sheets (2440x1220mm) but we’re able to purchase and cut sheets of up to 2000x3000mm, so get in touch with our team today to discuss your requirements. With optional next day delivery, your products can be with you quickly and we also have our own transport service which operates throughout most of the UK for larger orders. If you have a bigger ongoing project taking place, you can contact us to discuss bulk discounts and regular supply orders.
Melamine-faced MDF provides a wealth of finishes, making it a highly versatile product that is commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms and offices. The melamine surface can be textured or patterned to mimic the pattern of real wood or it can be colour-matched for a bold and contemporary look. From office furniture to kitchen worktops and shop counters, there are many uses for melamine-faced MDF, making it a great material to work with for both DIY projects and commercial environments.
MDF Grades
There are several different varieties of MDF, depending on the application you’re using it for. Wood comes in a variety of grades we offer the grades listed below. See our wood grading guide for more information on the types available.
- Moisture-resistant grade MDF can be used in areas of homes or businesses where moisture or humidity is an issue, such as bathrooms, kitchens or storage areas.
- Premier-grade MDF sheeting is a high-quality material that makes use of superior wood refining technology and high-grade resins for greater consistency both in terms of thickness and quality. This form of MDF is best-suited to furniture, toys or cabinetry, delivering a reliable and uniform result.
- Fire-retardant-grade MDF is commonly used in schools, hospitals, offices or cinemas and can provide up to 60 minutes of fire protection when used in applications such as doors, kick plates or partitions.
Benefits of Melamine MDF
Melamine-faced MDF is easily machinable and can be installed easily, providing a professional finish. With the advancements in technology, this type of MDF can replicate the look and feel of solid-wood alternatives but for a more affordable price. In addition to the wide range of surface patterns, colours and textures available, melamine-faced MDF is also available in a variety of thicknesses to suit different projects. It can be cut to any size or shape with ease to meet exact specifications for easy and quick installation. MDF is a durable and strong material that provides a long-lasting finish for any application.
Applications of Melamine MDF
This variety of MDF is commonly used in retail spaces for shopfitting, as well as for cabinets in the home and in commercial settings. It can be used to great effect in bars as an alternative to solid lumber and for hotels such as in hotel rooms or at reception desks. Additionally, it can be used for boat interiors, fire surrounds and furniture such as tables, desks and storage cabinets for a stylish alternative to plain MDF.

FAQs
What tolerance do you cut to?
We cut to a tolerance of +/-3mm.
What is your delivery timescale?
3-7 working days.
Is mirrored acrylic like normal mirror?
Mirrored acrylic is a flexible material, and needs to be attached to a perfectly flat surface. We recommend attaching it to MDF or something similar, making sure the adhesive is spread in a thin even layer across the acrylic. we also recommend using the 5mm thick acrylic as it is more rigid.
Can you cut any shape?
Yes, in acrylic. We will shortly be able to also cut any shape in polycarbonate as well.
What's your standard radius corner?
20mm, but we can cut to your requirements.
How many holes do I need in my acrylic?
1 per corner should be sufficient for smaller pieces. You might want to consider an extra hole in the middle if your sheet is larger.
Can I cut acrylic?
Yes, you can. Just take it slow and easy.
Can I put acrylic behind a hob?
Not if it is gas or electric. You need a gap of 5cm between an induction hob and the acrylic.
Do you fit the acrylic?
No, we don't. We do provide some templates which should help you to take your measurements. The acrylic is easy to install by any competent DIYer.

Perspex is a brand name. It is the same as acrylic.
