Sapele Veneered MDF Sheets

Sapele Veneered MDF

Sapele is a durable hardwood valued for its interlocked grain and sophisticated look. By slicing the veneers with a crown cut, we achieve the desirable decorative pattern that makes sapele stand out.

The veneered MDF pairs the workability and affordability of MDF boards with the elegance of real wood veneer. With a sturdy 18mm MDF core, our sapele veneered sheets provide strength and stability for diverse applications including furniture, shelving, panelling, and more. The reduced core also means that these sheets are much easier to transport, handle, and install.

Each sapele veneered MDF piece boasts unique natural variations that you would see in real wood, ensuring its individuality. From a diverse spectrum of shades and colours to textured surfaces and organic knots, it captures the captivating imperfections found in nature. Embracing this distinct character, the natural wood infuses warmth and charm into every piece. While no two pieces are alike, the inherent beauty of sapele wood adds a touch of timeless elegance to any indoor setting.

Our veneered MDF is crafted from eco-conscious wood fibers, sourced from sustainably managed forest thinning, recycled wood or pallets, and sawdust. Committed to environmental stewardship, our suppliers maintain FSC and PEFC certifications, guaranteeing sustainability throughout the manufacturing process.

As a versatile material, our sapele veneered MDF boards are ideal for customisation. We can cut them to size or prepare them for fixings per your specifications. We can also add veneered edges for a seamless look and lacquer these sheets in either a matt or gloss lacquering for a protective finish.

Whether you need ready-to-install sapele panels or fully customised components, our sapele veneered MDF delivers luxurious, reddish-brown aesthetics at an affordable price point compared to solid sapele wood.
