We are proud stockists of some of the biggest brands when it comes to MFC, including EGGER and Saviola, with a wide range of colours and effects. All of our MFC board is cut to size and available with plenty of customisation including edge banding and cutouts. Being the rigid and versatile material that it is, with so many stunning finishes available, MFC is great for creating that special stand-out piece of furniture or for small patch repairs on your modern kitchen.
MFC, an acronym for melamine-faced chipboard, is a composite sheet material manufactured by mixing wood shavings and ‘chips’ with a strong resin adhesive, also known as laminated chipboard. This chipboard core is then wrapped in a decorative resin-impregnated paper.
Manufactured from a careful blend of woods, the chipboard is then wrapped in a decorative melamine layer. MFC is a sustainable option as offcuts and less aesthetically appealing woods can be used without degrading the performance or appearance, making it an extremely cost-effective material to build with.
Further to this, unlike MDF sheets, it doesn’t use formaldehyde as a bonding agent making it safer to cut in less well-ventilated areas. As such, MFC has gained in popularity with DIYers and professionals because of its versatility and tool friendliness. MFC is lightweight, and with its customisable melamine face can be applied to a variety of projects.
Where Is MFC Used?
Melamine-faced chipboard can be used in a multitude of applications, but most frequently MFC is used to create furniture as a result of the sheet being relatively inexpensive and safer to work with than melamine MDF board.
Kitchens
MFC kitchen doors are very popular in kitchen manufacturing. It makes a great sturdy cabinet that can be colour-matched with door frontals, wall colours, splashbacks, and worktops. Worktops are also often made of melamine-faced chipb
Shelves
With our cut-to-size service, MFC is an ideal material to use for the construction of shelving inexpensively. Once cut to size, the MFC can be edge banded to hide the chip wood core that is often deemed unaesthetic, making a perfect and discrete floating wall shelf.
Desks
Have a peculiarly shaped alcove or after the mother of all workstations with plenty of room for your sprawling paperwork? MFC can be a great material for a desk tabletop without compromising on price or rigidity.
Key Advantages of MFC
Time-Saving
The main advantage of using MFC is that after fitting, the laminated melamine chipboard sheets require no further finishings as opposed to plywood, timber, and some MDF sheets. Additionally, as melamine has a greater stain resistance than varnish, the time saved plus the inexpensive option makes MFC an attractive option.
Durable
Laminated chipboard is waterproof, shatter and scratch-resistant making it more durable than other materials that are otherwise vulnerable to water and scratching. While the melamine exterior finish is waterproof, the chipboard within is still susceptible to water affecting the sheet.
Inexpensive
Relative to other materials for a similar purpose, MFC proves to be an inexpensive option, made from any chipped and offcut materials. While it may not have an aesthetic core, its wide accessibility makes it a common material.

Great product
Happy with the product (perspex table top), also with the customer service, they were helpful after I made a mistake with my measurements. The only thing I would say slightly negative is that I did order a polished edges (as I have very young children) but the table tops edges albeit polished - at the 'bottom' parts of the edging they are still very sharp, enough for a serious cut, god forbid a child would drag their hand along. As I am not sure if the perspex wouldn't crack if we tried to 'smooth' that edging ourselves, for now we've put a sellotape all around the edging and that made it ok.

I'm a very happy returning customer.
I've used My Cut a few times now. I'm very happy with the quality of the wood and cut. Plus the wood is always packed well for delivery. I've actually just ordered another piece of wood cut to size.

Good communication
At the beginning there was a delay with the order, this was fine because the company gave me a heads up that there would be a delay. The product arrived well packed so no worries about any damaging. I would just say personally I think it was a bit expensive but I needed such a small quantity it wasn't worth buying my own frosted acrylic sheet and doing it myself. I would definetely recommend this company because they service is quick and reliable.

Spot on!
Spot on!
Firstly, outstanding packaging so as to prevent delivery damage - very important yet often overlooked.
Secondly, I know this company make the claim to cut to exact size... but they really did! The piece was for a specific place (as I'm sure all their work is) and it had to be millimetre perfect ...and it was!! I said 1161mm and it was exactly 1161mm, including the finished edge. Not a hair's breadth of gap can be seen - it's perfection - thank you!
