Hickory Frida FINSA Melamine
As pale wood melamine, Hickory Frida mimicks birch that offers uniformity, unlike traditional wood sheet options. The Hickory Frida MDF sheet provides a matt aesthetic reliant solely on the wood appearance provided by the melamine veneer.
Partnering brilliantly with a darker wood, or colour palette, FINSA Hickory Frida provides a clear contrast of tones, while the softer wood aids any darker palettes highlighting any key areas by elevating shadowy elements of a room or space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is melamine?
Melamine is a type of laminated wood. The lamination is applied to the outer surfaces of melamine that can be used to match it to any style of kitchen, including some laminates that resemble wood grain. Melamine is made using particles of wood, paper and resin, which are all combined under extreme pressure.
Is melamine MDF waterproof?
Melamine is waterproof, shatter and scratch-resistant, protecting any laminated MDF boards in the same way. Be careful however of the edges as those will not have any melamine protection.
How do you clean melamine?
Melamine is easy to clean, using just a cloth and warm soapy water. You must also use a dry cloth to wipe away any moisture afterwards.
Can melamine be cut with a jigsaw?
Melamine is difficult to cleanly cut with most DIY tools, giving at best, one clean face, and one chipped side. Using a jigsaw will potentially damage both faces due to the sawing motion of the jigsaw. If you intend to cut melamine, we recommend using a circular saw.
What does MDF stand for?
MDF stands for medium-density fibreboard and is an engineered wood-based sheet made by bonding together wood fibres with a synthetic resin adhesive and pressure.
How strong is MDF?
MDF is not very strong as it is a compression of multiple fibres, however, it is very dense, and is very durable. As a rule, if you require a sheet to hold a large weight, order a larger thickness, or contact us and we can assist you directly.
What are the best screws for MDF?
To screw into MDF you will require specific screws to prevent splitting. We recommend using screws that are purposely made for MDF as generic screws may damage the sheeting.
Does MDF warp?
MDF is prone to warping and bending when moisture is concerned. That could be as a result of liquid affecting the sheet, or even from an uneven temperature causing bowing and warping.
