Get Melamine Boards for Your Next Project

Whether you have a DIY project to build, or are looking for some sturdy furniture with great durability, melamine board is a fantastic alternative material to solid wood that provides suitable strength for a variety of uses with the added choice of thickness, and edging for a smooth and attractive finish.

What Are Melamine Boards?

What Are Melamine Boards?

Melamine is a versatile decorative surface. Decorative paper is impregnated with a melamine plastic resin. This is then pressed onto a core board using extreme pressure heat bonding. 

Usually the core board consists of MDF or chipboard which provides a strong foundation for the melamine sheets using wood fibres.

The melamine sheets can then be finished off with an edge profile to disguise the core board underneath. This creates an aesthetic finish with a seamless sheet of melamine to protect against moisture and damage to the internal core board.

The smooth surface and minimalist look of white melamine MDF makes it perfect for white melamine furniture like tables and shelves.

White Melamine board can also make wonderful shelving due to its strength, attractive appearance and reasonable price. Thicknesses can vary according to your preferred need, and the size of the cut of melamine board.

Benefits

Benefits

The resin impregnation of melamine board makes this material strong, and durable, andplus easy to maintain. 

Additionally, having a choice of core boards like melamine faced MDF makes it an incredibly versatile material and the melamine top makes the board easy to wipe and protects against scratches and other damage.

Do I Use Chipboard or MDF For My Melamine Sheets?

Whilst chipboard and MDF are created from wood fibres, chipboard tends to be coarser in texture whilst MDF is made from finer material.

As an MDF core is more dense than chipboard, Melamine faced MDF tends to be a lot stronger and more suitable for weight-bearing projects like wall units and cabinets than chipboard.

Applications

Applications

Melamine can be used for a wide range of applications, including kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and office furniture, exhibitions (displays, stands, kiosks) and come in a variety of fashionable designs and textures. 

Melamine can also be used as a substitute for wood veneer. Every melamine board has a consistent colouring and grain pattern. It is durable after years of commercial use, easy to clean and won’t discolour from heat or age. Patterns in veneer are natural, therefore they may be inconsistent and present some natural imperfections such as knots which cannot be easily matched.

Melamine can even be painted to your chosen design, whether that's on one side or as a complete cover. 

Before you paint your melamine, you'll need to prime it with sandpaper first. If you want to avoid visible brush strokes, try spray painting your melamine for a nice even finish.
