We are proud stockists of one the biggest brands when it comes to MFC, EGGER, renowned for their sustainability efforts in the industry. All of our MFC board is cut to size and available with plenty of customisation including edge banding and cutouts. Being the rigid and versatile material that it is, with so many stunning finishes available, MFC is great for creating that special stand-out piece of furniture or for small patch repairs on your modern kitchen.
Melamine-faced chipboard (MFC) is a durable and versatile composite sheet material. It consists of wood shavings and small chips bonded together with a strong resin adhesive, forming a robust chipboard core. This core is then coated with a decorative melamine layer, giving MFC its signature smooth, customisable surface.
MFC is an eco-friendly and cost-effective option because it utilises wood offcuts and less aesthetically appealing woods without compromising performance or appearance. Unlike some other materials, MFC does not use formaldehyde in the bonding process, making it safer to cut and handle, especially in less ventilated spaces. Its lightweight yet sturdy construction has made it increasingly popular among DIYers and professionals alike for a variety of projects.
Where Is MFC Used?
MFC's versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. Thanks to its affordable price and ease of customisation, it is frequently used in furniture manufacturing and home improvement projects, such as:
Kitchens
MFC is commonly used for kitchen doors and cabinets. Its durability and range of finishes make it a practical choice for creating custom cabinetry that can be easily colour-matched with countertops, splashbacks, or walls.
Shelving
With our cut-to-size service, MFC is perfect for creating custom shelving. Once cut to your specified dimensions, we can add edge banding to conceal the chipboard core, giving you a sleek, finished look for floating wall shelves or storage units.
Desks and Workstations
MFC is ideal for custom desks, especially in oddly shaped spaces like alcoves. Whether you need a compact workstation or a large surface for spreading out paperwork, MFC provides a sturdy and affordable solution.
TV Back Panels
MFC is an excellent material for creating sleek, modern TV back panels. We can cut the panels to your exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit for your media wall or entertainment unit. Edge banding options allow you to achieve a clean, professional finish, while cutouts for cable management can be added for a neat, clutter-free look.
How We Can Customise Your MFC Boards
Our cut-to-size service allows you to tailor the board to your specific needs and project requirements. We offer the following customisation options:
Cut to Size: We cut MFC boards precisely to your required dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit for your project.
Custom Shapes: We can cut MFC boards into different shapes, giving you complete flexibility for creative or unconventional designs.
Edge Banding: For a sleek and finished look, we offer edge banding in both matching and contrasting colours and finishes to cover the raw chipboard edges.
Drilled Holes: Need hinge holes for doors or shelves with drilled holes? We can pre-drill the holes to your exact specifications.
Hinge Holes: If you’re creating custom cabinetry, we can pre-drill hinge holes to make installation easier and more efficient.
Cutouts: We can create cutouts for sockets, wiring, or any other functional needs.
Rounded Corners: For a softer, safer finish, we can add rounded corners to your MFC boards, which is especially useful for desks or children’s furniture.
Key Advantages of MFC
Time-Saving
MFC boards come with a pre-finished, decorative melamine surface, so there’s no need for additional painting or varnishing, saving you time on your project. The melamine coating is also more resistant to stains than traditional varnishes.
Durable
The laminated melamine surface makes MFC water-resistant, scratch-resistant, and more durable than many other materials. While the outer layer is water resistant, it’s important to note that the chipboard core is still susceptible to water damage, so it’s best suited for indoor use and areas that are not exposed to moisture.
Cost-Effective
MFC offers an affordable solution for furniture, shelving, and other projects. By using wood offcuts in the core, it’s more cost-effective than solid wood or MDF, without sacrificing durability.

Well worth getting this done
Definitely recommend this site. We needed a small PVC panel to cover a gap under the boiler. We carefully measured the size needed, including a gap for a pipe. We checked and double checked our measurements (this is vital as you'll be sent what you've specified) - and the panel they sent fitted perfectly. A lot easier than trying to cut it ourselves, and a reasonable price too. We selected unfinished edges - and the edges were quite smooth enough. Prompt shipping/delivery too. Would definitely recommend.
