Coloured MDF

Coloured MDF is an MDF sheet with colour built in or applied in a ready finish. It creates a flat, smooth base that is ideal for furniture, wall panels, or display units. The sheets are easy to cut and finish, giving a clean and modern result every time.

What is coloured MDF board?

A coloured MDF board is a medium density fibreboard that comes in a range of colours and types. You can choose coloured throughout core MDF that is dyed through the thickness, such as Valchromat, or surface finished options in popular tones. It is stable and ideal for fast, tidy joinery.

What is coloured MDF used for?

Coloured MDF is a practical material for many types of interior work.

• Furniture: cabinets, wardrobes, drawers, display units
• Wall panels: decorative cladding, feature walls, reception desks.
• Shelving and worktops: flat, neat surfaces for home and shop use.
• Doors and partitions: routed designs, visible edges, crisp detailing.
• Commercial interiors: restaurants, offices, exhibition stands.
• Kitchens and bathrooms: moisture resistant coloured MDF boards with sealed edges.
• CNC work: logos, patterns, 3D details with colour core MDF.
• Fast finishes: coloured MDF sheets for projects that do not need extra painting.

With its solid structure and wide choice of tones, coloured MDF board helps create stylish, long-lasting designs for both home and trade use.

FAQ

What is the price of a coloured MDF board?

The cost of coloured MDF boards depends on the thickness, colour, and type of panel. Valchromat 8mm (8’ x 4’) starts from around 60£ and a popular thicker option such as 19mm (8’ x 4’) begins from approximately 160£ . For more detailed pricing check Coloured MDF on the Sheet Materials Wholesale website.

How is coloured MDF board made?

Coloured MDF boards are made by blending fine wood fibres with organic dyes during production. The fibres are bonded with special resins under heat and pressure, creating a dense, coloured-through board with smooth surfaces.

How to cut coloured MDF?

Use a circular saw with a tungsten-tipped blade for clean, accurate cuts. Keep the sheet steady on a cutting bench, especially for thicker boards. Always wear a mask and goggles, as coloured MDF, like Valchromat, produces fine dust.
