Coimbra 18mm Laminated MDF Board, 8ft x 4ft

Coimbra Laminated MDF Board

The Coimbra 18mm Laminated MDF provides a professional-grade solution for interior joinery and furniture manufacturing. This medium-density fiberboard features a thermally fused melamine surface on both sides. The 18mm thickness ensures structural stability for vertical and horizontal applications in dry interior environments.

Built for the Job

Contractors and shopfitters utilize this material for high-traffic interior surfaces. The core consists of fine wood fibers bonded with synthetic resin under intense heat and pressure. This process creates a consistent internal density that allows for precise machining and screw retention. The exterior laminate provides a pre-finished wood-grain texture that eliminates the need for painting or staining after assembly. Site supervisors often specify this 18mm gauge for carcass construction because it supports heavy loads without excessive bowing.

• Fabrication of kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, and bathroom vanities.

• Construction of office workstations and retail shelving units.

• Wall paneling and decorative interior linings in commercial spaces.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Use a fine-tooth TCT saw blade to minimize chipping on the melamine surface during cross-cuts.

• Apply matching 1mm or 2mm PVC edge banding to all exposed sides to protect the core from moisture.

• Store sheets flat on at least three evenly spaced bearers to prevent warping or structural sagging.

• Pre-drill pilot holes for all screw fixings to avoid splitting the internal fibers near the edges.
