Fixing and buying guide
Chamfered and Rounded Primed Moisture Resistant MDF Profile 5.49 Mtr 18mm x 70mm
What this product is and who it is for
This is a primed MDF profile with chamfered and rounded edges, supplied as a single 5.49 metre length. It is suitable for builders, carpenters, furniture makers, and experienced DIY customers undertaking structural or decorative woodworking projects. The moisture resistant finish makes it appropriate for use in areas where timber may encounter varying humidity or damp conditions.
Sizing and compatibility
The profile measures 18mm thick by 70mm wide, making it suitable for joinery with standard timber framing and MDF components. The 5.49 metre length is ideal for longer projects such as wall framing or furniture assembly. Confirm your project requirements before purchase, as this is a single length product. The chamfered edges are designed to work with timber, MDF, and composite materials using conventional fixings and joinery methods.

Preparation and fixing
The profile arrives primed and ready to use. Standard woodworking tools are suitable for cutting, routing, and assembly. Ensure your work area is clean and dry before beginning. Check that the profile is straight and undamaged upon delivery. The primed finish provides protection, but exposed cut edges should be sealed if the profile will be exposed to moisture. Use appropriate fixings for your application, such as wood screws, dowels, or adhesives suitable for MDF.

Pre-installation checks
Verify that the 18mm x 70mm dimensions and 5.49 metre length suit your project layout. Confirm compatibility with your intended fixings and adjacent materials. Store the profile in a dry environment prior to installation to maintain the moisture resistant properties. Allow the material to acclimatise to your workshop conditions for 24 hours before cutting if it has been stored in significantly different temperature or humidity.
