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.

The colour choices on the Cut My is mid grey
The colour choices on the Cut My website were very good to which I chose their mid-grey as this complimented our white cupboards and black work surfaces. Ordering instructions were clear and costs seemed extremely competitive. Panels and adhesive arrived in good time and well packaged.
I found that the easiest way to cut the 3mm thick sheets was by using a Dremel hand tool with a fine cutting disc. It helps to mask the section being cut and marking this as it improves the visibility of the marked lines. Also, I used a metal straight edge clamped to a workbench to ensure straight cutting.
The adhesive supplied was really good, and I had no problem sticking the panels to the wall, with the help of a rubber mallet covered in a cloth to avoid marking the panels. Brilliant finish and has transformed the kitchen 👍

Everything was mm perfect
Everything was mm perfect, perfect quality and clearly labelled.
There was a slight delivery mix up (which to be fair was DHL’a fault) Cutmy handled it exactly as I would have wanted, refunded the delivery fee and got the rest of the package out next day.

Ordered 3 lengths of veneered mdf
Ordered 3 lengths of veneered mdf. Two arrived with veneer grain running longitudinally with the longest side and one cross grain.
Apparently you have to specify how the grain should run- otherwise it appears they'll cut anyway they like!
Firm has offered to rectify the issue so ultimately should get what was wanted

Delayed but got there in the end.
My delivery was very delayed and I couldn't get through on the phone and my 3 attempts to email a query were not responded to, however... my order arrived safe & sound and I was contacted by the company with an apology and some money back. I was very happy with my plastic.

Very nice
I’ve ordered few pieced of wood with cutout it was delayed few days which is understandable since they had been busy this month every cutout is the exact size I entered. I place another order would recommend for DIY, if you have a problem just email the company they usually sort it out real quickly!

Looks great - well cut, packaged and presented
I used the full height wall panelling to cover a wall in an upstairs corridor in our house. It was delivered on time, was perfectly cut, packaged and presented with clear and simple instructions. At the price we paid as well, I am more than delighted - so much so Ive just placed another order to do a complete room. Very highly recommended.
