Why Choose Melamine Faced Chipboard?

Melamine-faced chipboard combines a practical chipboard core with a decorative finished surface.

The Shorewood Driftwood finish gives shelving, furniture and storage projects a natural wood-effect appearance. Because the surface is already finished, it can reduce the preparation involved compared with untreated timber or plain chipboard.

The 18mm thickness makes the board suitable for many general interior furniture and storage applications when correctly supported.

Cutting and Finishing

Use a suitable fine-toothed saw blade when cutting melamine-faced chipboard to help reduce chipping along the decorative surface.

Cut edges expose the chipboard core. Matching or complementary edging tape may therefore be required where a cut edge will remain visible.

Support the board properly while cutting and measure carefully before making any cuts.

Delivery Restrictions

The full board length is 2.8m.

For deliveries outside the North East, the board must be cut into sections no longer than 2m. This means customers ordering nationally will not receive a single, uncut 2.8m board.

Please contact Discount DIY before ordering to confirm:

1. National delivery charges

2. Required cut lengths

3. Whether the selected board width is available

4. Whether the full board can be collected or delivered locally
