Hi folks,

going to re-do the cupboards after the vandalism and reckon it's worth doing the lot at once. It's manky chipboard-y stuff at present. Thinking MDF or ply would be better....any suggestions please?

Cheers folks...all help much appreciated!

ply is better than mdf

according to westfalia, tischer, karmann, amongst others

But it is expensive to get faced ply.

I used waterproof melamine faced MDF furniture board grade 8 X 8 ft sheet at around £100.00 and £12.00 for iron on edging.

Used a router to face the cut edges for a clean job prior to applying the edging.

looks a professional job.

Hi Bryan

B&Q Do a niceline of Brazilian Oak faced Ply 8' x 4' Sheets

9mm £18
12mm £25
18mm £35

And will cut it to size, You get 4 free cuts with each board then 50p for each additional. I went for the 18mm, its has been varnished since the photo was taken and it looks ace. Once I get round to finishing my doors I will post a photo.

if you can afford it use vohringer board.its ultra light weight....only problem is its about £80 for a 6x4 sheet....

Thank you thank you....getting onto all this restorative stuff on Saturday on a trip to the big smoke.

Cheers
