Conibpoard is cheap (quality, NOT price), nasty, THIN Weetabix-board with low grade, chip-prone melamine surfaces. IF you are going to use MFC (melamine faced chpboard) then find a decent supplier who does a good quality MFC board from a manufacturer such as Egger, Kronospan, Caberdecor, Finsa, etc. These firms do boards in a variety of thicknesses, although the main stock ones are 8mm, 12mm, 15mm and 18mm from my suppliers. Better still try finding someone who can supply MF-MDF (melamine-faced MDF) which is both denser and heavier - it has the advantage that it cuts more cleanly than MFC which is one of the reasons why we use som much of it in shop and bar fitting.
MDF is cheaper per sq ft than conti board.
