Staircases are often an overlooked area when it comes to interior design, but with our stair panelling solutions, you can elevate this space into a true showpiece. Crafted from high-quality MDF, our panelling packs and mouldings offer a versatile and cost-effective way to infuse your stairway with character and sophistication.
If you are thinking about panelling your staircase walls, we can provide you with packs of MDF strips in a variety of lengths, thicknesses and widths which are designed to be easily customisable to fit your unique staircase dimensions. For a more traditional look, you could also choose from our decorative beading and dado rails which we can supply cut to length for you. Our wood panelling products are designed for straightforward installation, allowing you to tackle the project yourself or enlist the help of a professional. With high-quality materials, you can be confident in achieving a flawless, polished look that will impress your guests and elevate the overall aesthetic of your home. Don't settle for a plain and uninspiring staircase. Embrace the opportunity to create a stunning focal point that adds depth, character, and value to your living space.
While our stair panelling provides the most essential components needed to elevate your stairway, proper installation is key to achieving a seamless, professional-looking finish. Follow these step-by-step guidelines to ensure a successful shaker panel installation on your stairway walls. Remember to take your time, measure accurately, and enjoy the process of creating a beautiful, personalised space in your home.
Accurate measurements are crucial for a perfect fit. Before ordering your panelling pack, carefully measure the dimensions of your stairway walls, taking note of any obstacles, corners, or irregularities that may require custom cutting and make sure to order enough MDF strips and or beading and dado railing to cover the whole staircase.
Visualise the desired layout of your panels, considering the placement of each strip. You can draw on your walls with a pencil if this helps.
Ensure that your stairway walls are clean, dry, and free from any debris or irregularities that may interfere with the panel installation. Apply a suitable primer or sealer if necessary.
Once you have worked out the measurements of each panel, you will need to trim the MDF strips or beading to the required lengths. We recommend using a mitre block and saw for this to get the right angles and lengths. Take your time and double-check your measurements for a precise fit.
Apply adhesive to one side of the MDF strips or to the back of the moulding. Carefully position the panels onto the stairway walls, ensuring a level and secure fit. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the panels into place if needed.
After allowing the adhesive to cure fully, use a high-quality wood filler to address any gaps or imperfections between the panels, beading, and dado rails. Smooth the filler with a putty knife, and caulk any remaining seams for a seamless finish.
If you need to, lightly sand the entire surface to prepare for the final finish. Choose a paint, stain, or varnish that complements the existing decor of your home.

The best customer service experience I’ve ever had!
I’d have never guessed a company that sorts lengths of wood would end up being one of the most positive experiences of customer service I’ve seen in a long time.
Starting with a very solid and informative website, a helpful sales rep when I was asking what the recommendation would be for the type of wood for the project I was doing, and then very easy to get the custom sizing right.
Then when I needed to give quite explicit delivery instructions and details as I live in flat that many delivery agents get difficult about, and facilitating delivery on specific days when I work from home, it was an incredibly well thought out and thorough process.
Raising a ticket gets an AI response and we are talking at a level of understanding the context so completely beyond any chat bot or automated response I’ve seen before - it gave advice on how to resolve the issue in the time for a human to review the ticket and do things their side. A human agent then got in touch to confirm they were dealing with it, and then another took over as the first person was ill and made sure it was covered!
Delivery went smoothly on a day I requested it to be delayed, and the item was exactly what I needed and good quality.
This is how every company should operate, making things easy, and dealing with complexities really well. Best use of AI I’ve seen, and I’m not usually a fan, but it’s enhancing the work of people and not replacing them.
If I need more stuff I will definitely be bringing repeat business here.

Perfection!
My 2mm acrylic sheet was exactly what my almost 6 metre shelf of Rock (cut out Rock stars) needed to give it a perfectly clear, smooth, protective finish.
Not even 1mm off with the measurements and delivered quick.
Niiiiice!

The product was what I expected. Dimensions were perfect.The price was right. The only blip was delivery, I wasn't fussed but was given a delivery date, the goods were not delivered until a week or so after delivery date. If you give a date it should be stuck to.

Very helpful when it came to courier problems.
Although there was a delay in delivery, it was caused by the courier, CutMy were really helpful in helping to sort it out. Otherwise all good. Website made it easy to order and they were swift in fulfilling it. As a goodwill gesture CutMy also refunded the delivery charge, even though it wasn't their fault.
