On a whim whilst decorating a small dining room, I decided to put shaker panelling beneath an existing dado rail. I was slightly anxious however I’d used CutMy for similar panelling for the ends of our kitchen island and it had worked out wonderfully.
I measured the three walls, the fourth wall was glass doors leading into the conservatory, and chose the primed MDF, 80mm wide. They arrived in one complete package, with the MDF for the three different sized walls all mixed together. I do think that a copy of the measured view, with the chosen dimensions included in the delivery would have helped considerably.
However I did manage to sort the boards out, and they fit amazingly well. Getting the boards to meet seamlessly wasn’t as easy as I thought, but some judicious sanding after fitting made the joins almost invisible. I thought I would have needed panel pins or a nail gun to secure them in addition to the glue however a proprietary glue that did away with any more nails worked brilliantly. I did use a lot more glue than I’d imagined so factor that into your budget.
The boards were delivered punctually, they were of great quality, the primer assisted greatly, and it saved hours of measuring and cutting, with no need for the injurious MDF dust inside the house. I am delighted with the service and I’m looking where I can use CutMy products elsewhere.

Excellent and promt service
I ordered a self-measured kit of mdf wall panel parts, which had to fit exactly in a bedroom alcove of 2.585 metres. The measurements were made to half a millimeter to ensure the project fitted. The parts arrived quickly, and very well packed and protected against transit damage. Measurement of the individual parts showed them all to be exact! The quality of the mdf material is first class. The project is now fitted in place and primed, waiting for the choice of top coat. We are very happy with the service 😀

Great service when our strips arrived…
Great service when our strips arrived slightly damaged (not their fault, probably the courier), but they offered a more than reasonable offer of a compensation discount, with no hassle at all. Very pleased with the service, and the panelling in our bedroom now.
Here are some common uses for mild steel checker plates in thicknesses of 3mm, 4.5mm, and 6mm:
Flooring: A checker plate is often used to provide slip-resistant flooring in applications like walkways, platforms, stair treads, ramps, and work stands. The raised diamond pattern provides a good grip for foot traffic. A thicker 6mm plate is best for heavy-duty floors.
Structural framing: As an alternative to a flat plate, a checker plate can add stiffness when used for structural framing, bracing, and support legs. The embossed pattern increases rigidity. 4.5mm or 6mm would be preferred for structural use.
Truck bed lining: Checker plates are a popular choice for truck bed lining since they prevent cargo from slipping. A 3mm plate is often suitable for this application. The diamond pattern also allows rain, mud or debris to drain off easily.
Trench covers: Where lightweight removable trench covers are needed, a checker plate offers an anti-slip surface while still being easy to handle. 3mm would be suitable for covers over electrical or plumbing trenches.
Motorcycle traction mats: To provide extra traction for parked motorcycles or machinery, portable checker plate mats are handy. A 3mm plate is light enough for a single person to move around.
