Wall panel guide
Our MDF wall panels come grooved, reeded or fluted, on board from 9 to 22mm, as full sheets or cut to your sizes. Here is how to choose, and how to plan where the panelling goes.
Profiles
Grooved
V-groove, bead and butt, square groove and slatted, on 9, 12 or 18mm board. Long grooved along the sheet or short grooved across it.
Reeded
From a fine 12mm reed to a wide 50mm reed. The classic for kitchen islands, bar fronts and bath panels.
Fluted
Scallop, wave, wide cove, narrow flute and beaded flute. Calm from across the room, clear up close.

Planning the wall
Finish
MDF soaks up paint, so seal the cut edges and use an MDF primer before your top coats. Fill fixing holes and caulk the joints first, and leave each coat to dry fully. Deep reeds and flutes are easier to paint with a small brush or a spray.
