Melamine Plywood Details

Melamine-faced plywood offers a remarkable blend of strength, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. Crafted with a sturdy core of cross-laminated wood veneers, these panels are faced with a smooth, long-lasting melamine surface that provides excellent resistance against moisture, stains, and wear.

While the melamine surface adds aesthetic value, the plywood core ensures exceptional durability and dimensional stability. This combination makes melamine-faced plywood an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including countertops, shelving units, and high-traffic areas.

One of the standout features of melamine-faced plywood is its versatility. These panels can be easily cut, routed, and shaped to suit your specific project requirements, allowing you to bring your creative visions to life with precision and ease.

For projects that require lightweight materials or easy manoeuvrability, our thinner melamine-faced plywood sheets offer the perfect solution. These panels are easy to work with, making them a popular choice for DIY enthusiasts and hobbyists alike.

Alternatively, if you're tackling a project that demands exceptional load-bearing capabilities, our thicker melamine-faced plywood sheets provide the stability and strength you need. These sturdy panels are ideal for countertops, heavy-duty shelving units, and other high-stress applications, ensuring your creations can withstand the test of time.

If you are unsure about what specific thickness you will need, get in contact and we can be sure to assist you.

Uses & Applications

Here are some of the most common uses for melamine ply:

  • Cabinetry and Furniture: Melamine plywood is widely used in the manufacturing of cabinets, shelving units, wardrobes, desks, and various types of furniture. The melamine facing provides a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that can withstand daily wear and tear.
  • Countertops and Workbenches: The moisture-resistant and stain-resistant properties of melamine plywood make it an excellent choice for countertops in kitchens, bathrooms, and workshops. It offers a durable surface that can withstand spills and heavy use.
  • Retail Displays and Signage: The smooth, uniform surface of melamine plywood makes it suitable for creating retail displays, product showcases, and signage. It provides a clean, professional look and can be easily cut and shaped to meet specific design requirements.
  • Garage and Basement Storage: Melamine plywood's moisture resistance and strength make it a popular material for building garage cabinets, shelving units, and other storage solutions in damp or humid environments.
  • Recreational Vehicle and Marine Applications: The moisture-resistant properties of melamine plywood make it suitable for use in motorhomes, caravans and boats, where it can be used for cabinetry, countertops, and other interior components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thickness should I use?

18mm melamine-faced plywood is suitable for shelves, countertops, and other furniture-based projects. Our thicker 24mm sheets provide extra sturdiness for heavy-duty uses, often used in commercial vehicles, trailers, boats and more.

Is melamine plywood heat resistant?

While melamine facing is fairly heat resistant compared to wood veneers, excessive heat can still cause damage. It should not be used as an unprotected cooking surface.

What is the difference between melamine and phenolic plywood?

Melamine plywood has a resin-impregnated decorative paper surface, while phenolic plywood has an overlay film made from phenolic resins. Melamine provides a smoother, more attractive finish suitable for visible surfaces, while phenolic is more industrial-grade.

Is melamine MDF better than melamine-faced plywood?

Melamine MDF (medium-density fiberboard) tends to be denser and has a smoother, more consistent surface than melamine plywood which has a veneer face over the wood plies. However, plywood is generally stronger and more rigid making it preferable for larger spans or weight-bearing applications.

How can I cut melamine plywood

Use a fine-toothed blade designed for plywood or laminates and make cuts slowly to prevent chipping the melamine surface. Generally, carbide-tipped blades work best.

Really nice bespoke shelves which feel good quality. The small criticism would be that they slap a huge sticker on each one which took me hours to clean off.

so pleased with how our hallway is coming along 🥰 here is a little run down of what we’ve done 🎨 we painted the walls, skirting & door frames in slipper satin (paint matched at b&q) - I think I also want to do the ceilings as they need a refresh anyway 🪚 we panelled the wall longest wall which I loved doing, the most difficult part was going around the plug sockets - I ordered from cutmy.uk which was made to measure & absolutely brilliant 🎨 the panelling is painted in elephant’s breath (also paint matched at b&q) 🪞& then we added the mirrors 💡changed the light fitting 🖤 painted the little cabinet in pitch black - a bit risky but so pleased with how it came out 🪑added a bench and cushions 🌿 we bought a new (big) plant baby, bird of paradise & a large pot for the corner 🧥and some gorgey coat hooks for under the stairs made by ardovie_wood who we found on etsyuk We’re going to look for some baskets to go under the bench for shoes, and I want to get a new lamp too! And the current plan is the change the carpet to hard flooring next year. ➡️ swipe to the end to see the before photo • #Hallway #HallwayDecor #HallwayInspo #HouseUpdates #HomeDecor #HomeInterior #Panelling #GivingItAGo

We received this beautiful photo from Robert on Trust Pilot of his charcoal slat panelling that he has used for his bar island. We love that we are seeing more and more of our panelling being used on furniture!

LIFE LATELY 🌲✨ I realised I legit NEVER post stills anymore, and shiney reels don't always show reality. So next year I vouch to make a bigger effort to post more pictures that capture the good bad & ugly! 1. The finished stairs garland after 599 attempts at tying a bow we got there - if you saw my stories you'll know this is an achievement 🤣 2. A moment of still/ gratitude with my babies 3. 4 month milestone!! Feels like 4 minutes and 4 years all in one. 4. A small win to be celebrated - I was in overwhelm city and I forced myself out the house. Obvs felt a million times better for it so need to remember for next time! 5. My breakfast bar of dreams 🥰 so happy with how's it's turned out - just need to make my mind up on paint. 6. Nap trapped and savouring the moment. She won't be this little again and as tough as it is I would swap anything to keep these cuddles longer 🥹 Bit different from me today!! Happy Friday Homeys 🥰 CHS x
