FAQ
Common Questions
Sizing, cutting, edging & ordering
What is melamine-faced chipboard (MFC)?
MFC is a cost-effective decorative board with a hard-wearing melamine surface bonded to a chipboard core. It offers a clean, consistent finish when edge banded, making it ideal for interior joinery, furniture carcasses, and general fit-out work.
What's the maximum panel size I can order?
Our MFC sheets are 2800 × 2070mm. Your cut panels must fit within this sheet size — the builder will warn you if any panel is too large for the sheet.
How is pricing calculated?
Boards are priced per full sheet based on how many sheets your cut list requires (using total area and a 0.9 yield factor). Cutting is charged per panel and edging is charged per metre. Live prices update instantly in the builder.
What edging options are available?
We apply a close-match melamine edge tape to any combination of edges — 1 long, 2 long, 1 short, 2 short, or all four edges. This gives panels a clean, finished look. Select the option per panel in the cut list.
Which way does the woodgrain run?
On woodgrain colours, the grain runs parallel to the Length dimension you enter (Length column = grain direction). Choose the direction you want the grain to follow before you finalise sizes — when you pick a woodgrain colour, a reminder appears above the cut list.
Can I order a sample first?
Yes — use the "Order sample pack" button to receive an MFC colour swatch delivered in an envelope, so you can check the colour and surface before committing to a full order.
Is MFC suitable for wet areas?
MFC has a moisture-resistant core suitable for dry washroom zones and IPS duct panels. For fully waterproof applications (direct water contact), consider our Compact Grade Laminate panels instead.
Can you match an existing colour?
Yes — email a clear photo in good light to sales@bridgewaterdirect.co.uk and we'll identify the closest match before you order.
What are the typical applications?
IPS duct panels, vanity carcasses, cupboards, shelving, plinths, liners, desk components, cabinets, education and public sector joinery, retail back-of-house areas, and general interior fit-out.
