Sizing and compatibility
The board arrives as a single length of 5.49 metres, with a consistent 18mm thickness and 219mm width throughout. This width is substantial enough to work as a single panel for many applications, or can be ripped down to narrower widths if required. The 18mm thickness provides excellent rigidity for shelving without requiring excessive support spacing, and is compatible with standard trade fixings and joinery methods.
- Length: 5.49m (single continuous piece)
- Thickness: 18mm (provides good structural support)
- Width: 219mm (wide enough for single-panel applications)
- Material: Moisture resistant MDF with primed finish
Pre-installation checks and preparation
Before fixing, inspect the board for any damage in transit and allow it to acclimatise to the installation environment for 24-48 hours. The primed finish means the board is ready to paint or decorate immediately, though you may wish to sand lightly between coats for a professional finish. Ensure your fixing method is appropriate for MDF: use screws rather than nails where possible, and pre-drill all fixings to prevent splitting. Check that your support structure can accommodate the weight of the board plus any load it will bear.
- Allow 24-48 hours acclimatisation to site conditions
- Inspect for transit damage before installation
- Pre-drill all screw fixings to prevent splitting
- Use appropriate MDF fixings (screws preferred over nails)
- Ensure support structure is adequate for intended load
