MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) wall panelling is a stylish, affordable, and practical way to enhance your home’s interior design. If you’re a DIY enthusiast looking to inject some character into your living space, this guide will help you navigate the process of assembling MDF wall panelling.

Materials and Tools

Firstly, make sure you have the following materials and tools ready: MDF wall panels, a fine-toothed saw, adhesive, finishing nails, a nail gun (optional but recommended), a spirit level, a tape measure, and safety gear such as goggles and gloves.

Step 1: Measure Your Wall

Start by measuring the dimensions of the wall accurately using a tape measure. It’s crucial to ensure that your panels fit perfectly. Make a note of these measurements.

Step 2: Cut Your Panels

Use the measurements to cut your MDF panels to the required dimensions with the fine-toothed saw. Always remember: Measure twice, cut once!

Step 3: Apply Adhesive

Apply adhesive to the back of the first panel. Ensure you cover the entire surface, paying extra attention to the edges for a secure fit.

Step 4: Position Your Panel

Place the panel onto the wall, starting from a corner and working your way across. Use a spirit level to ensure the panel is straight. Press firmly to secure it in place.

Step 5: Secure with Nails

For added security, use finishing nails and a nail gun (or hammer if you don’t have one) to secure the panel to the wall. Always wear safety gear to prevent injury.

Step 6: Repeat with Remaining Panels

Repeat the process with the remaining panels. Ensure all panels align perfectly with each other and the edges of the wall.

Remember to allow the adhesive to dry fully according to the manufacturer’s instructions before painting or applying any finishes.

In conclusion, installing your MDF wall panelling is a task well within the reach of most DIY enthusiasts. It requires patience, precision, and a little hard work, but the result is a beautifully panelled wall that you can take pride in. Happy DIY-ing!

A majority of fences are made from hard or soft woods, although recently, there has been a surge in the popularity of composite fence panels due to its contemporary style, which is a relatively new building material that is made from a mixture of plastic and real wood. Composite fence panels are often made from recycled materials, making it an eco-friendly option. The wood composition gives it a beautifully authentic look, while the plastic allows the fencing to last much longer than wholly organic materials. Using composite fencing means your fence will last far longer than the original wooden versions, resulting in fewer replacements and therefore fewer trees are cut down to replace them.

There are many attributes to composite fence panels;

Deflects noise pollution – allowing you to enjoy the tranquillity of your garden without outside noise pollution seeping in.
Heavy duty – They have reinforced vertical slats ensuring they are gale force proof, resulting in no more cracked or blown out panels.
Maintenance free – No more painting and staining, as composite panels don’t fade like traditional fencing.
Superior durability – When compared to wood, composite fence panels don’t rot or splinter which is often the case in traditional wooden fencing.
Design – Our composite fence panels are designed to fit within your existing structure. No fixings are required as the composite fence panel fits within traditional concrete posts.
Cost effective – No need to buy replacement wooden panels after bad winters, as composite fence panels are excellent at withstanding harsh conditions.
Easy to assemble – Our composite fencing panels come ready made, so all you need to do is slot them between the original concrete posts.

Our composite fence panels come in a range of sizes and are suitable for fitting in-between existing concrete posts. They are dual sided meaning you could even split the cost with your neighbours so that you can both enjoy the aesthetic qualities of the fencing. We also offer a variety of colours to complement our composite decking collection, including Natural, Walnut and Graphite.

Composite fencing can be slightly more expensive than traditional pure wood fencing, but you can save yourself money by purchasing your fencing online, without the costs of showrooms and stores throughout the country. Online retailers can offer huge discounts on exactly the same products you may find at local hardware stores, so having a quick browse online can be a very cost effective solution.
