Specifications

Buyer’s Overview

This board is ideal for customers looking for a decorative and practical panel for indoor DIY, shelving and furniture-style projects.

The French Walnut finish provides a rich wood-effect appearance, making it suitable for visible areas such as shelving, cupboards, wardrobes, office storage, display units and cabinet panels. The 18mm thickness gives the board a solid feel for many everyday interior applications when correctly supported.

The ready-finished melamine surface also helps reduce preparation work compared with unfinished timber or plain chipboard, as it does not normally need painting, staining or varnishing.

Cutting and Finishing

Melamine faced chipboard should be cut carefully using suitable tools to help reduce chipping along the decorative surface.

Any cut edge will expose the chipboard core. If the cut edge will remain visible, matching or complementary edging tape may be required to create a neater finished result.

Customers should measure carefully before cutting and ensure the board is properly supported during installation.
