As has been previously said, any MDF produced in the UK is manufactured to E1 standard for formaldehyde emissions. This basically means it is safe to us in just about all situations, and also to repeat what has been said there is more formaldehyde in carpet than in E1 MDF. The overwhelming...

If you are using 6mm you should be OK if you use Kronospan. Krono make the 6mm is HDF (high density) they make it for laminate flooring core so its a higher spec board. As far as I am aware Kronospan do the Selco contract, so any 6mm from them should be HDF.

things have moved on a touch - Caber (Norbord) now produce a lightweight MR grade now...... Ask the distributor/merchant to confirm its full density and not LW MR mdf if you are routing/CNC ing or doing anything else more demanding or going into the core of the board.

Thanks a lot, have got the masks sorted and will probably go for the garage.

MR MDF is, generally speaking, denser than standard MDF. Medite "Premier" standard MDF is actually half way between lightweight and full density. I posted a bit of an explanation a few weeks ago, nothing changed since then. You will find it harder and harder to find technical information from...

Various types of MDF commercially available are as follows: Lightweight (Density approx 600kg/m3) Standard (Density approx 710kg/m3) Deep Route (Density approx 780kg/m3) MR (Density approx 760kg/m3) Merchants used to (99%...

[/url] You'll not get it buddy, would be massive MOQ and brought through for special contractson only - most likely portable building manufacture, Hanson wont have it though thats for certain. As said large size hardwood plywood is commonly available in 10 x 5 and 10 x 4 but would be...

670mm Egger tops commonly available - just about top of the range for laminated chipboard tops too. They would be DPF though rather than single. http://industry.egger.com/uk-eng/industry_uk_worktop_range_worktop_decors_UKE_HTML.htm

Should withstand moisture/wet - thats the name of the game for a worktop. Check here for detailed fitting instructions for the worktop: http://www.bushboard.co.uk/downloads/Bushboard%20Care%20and%20Maintenance%20Instructions.pdf Ask the fitter before hand what he fit it with and then when...

Very sorry, was going from memory on the url - its as follows: http://www.diy-kitchens.com/

Veneered MDF every time - Conti (MFC) is a generally lower quality material - the MDF core is much more reliable and the natural look of wood is what most people like, although we get plenty of punters moan that the grain and color of veneered boards isnt perfect enough. Printed melamine...

Also, be aware of Kitchen companies in the North West - often new companies start up in the area who are the sporn of the imfamous Vance Miller. Not for one moment suggesting this is one, but its worth doing some homework to make sure you know who you are dealing with.

www.diykitchens.co.uk The above I can reccomend both proffesionally (we sell material to them) and also personally (just had a kitchen in December) - they manufactur carcasses out of top quality 18mm MFC (well, arguably the best MFC available) and distribute doors from PWS just as almost all...

They are most likely offering you a choice of redwood (Scots Pine/Pinus sylvestris) or whitewood (Spruce/Picea spp) - you would be fairly hard pushed to tell the difference as a general DIY-er. Broadly speaking redwood is slightly better quality but not much in it, you get some whitwood...

WBP = weather & boil proof, but this refers to the glue line only and not the actual veneers, for example most softwood/shuttering ply has WBP glue but us made from an inherently perishable speices veneer. Marine plywood still has WBP glue line the same but to confirm to the marine spec (BS1088)...

As your man above has said 'Gaboon' used to be used widely as a face veneer for Marine plywood - nowadays it is much less common but still available from time to time. The veneer is very bland and straw coloured, so could be what you are looking for. With regards to the marking of the board...

Formaldehyde is naturally found in all wood and wood based products. It's a load of scaremongering about this and other VOC's in wood based panel products. Just about all chipboard produced at the moment conforms to European E1 standard and is as safe as it gets (BSEN 120 if memory serves)...

You shouldn't cut WBP glue with a lazer, it will burn. You need to ask your merchant for Interior glue if this is how you will cut it, this is very important. Need any more help give me a shout.

Wilsonart produce all the worktops for B&Q in Shildon, North East. They do make them extremely difficult to buy though as they rebadge them all with unique codes for obvious reasons.

You need somebody like IDS or Edens (Montague L Meyer) for high gloss MFC. You are likely to find white, black and a couple or 3 different creams and possibly even a burgendy type - you should get edging from Ney or Cadre. Be prepared to pay anything up to £100 or more for a board size approx...
