    hi all

    Trying to find localy a supplier of 15mm MDF board, regular 8x4 sheet, nothing unusual I though but am struggling to find anywhere that stocks this size

    Weird as the sheets go up in 3mm increments - 3/6/9/12/ (15) ? / 18/

    Need to replace some inset cupboard doors which are made from 15mm MDF and without changing frame, the wrong size is gonna cause a problem

    Just seen Build Base list 15mm but £36 for 8x4 is crazy

    A couple of other places list it but don't actually sell it !

    Why the rarity, don't get it

    Heavy ....... what 15mm 8x4 ...... Nah, just man up geez

    Brought 2 sheets of 25mm 8x4 and that was heavy, especially lifting it up onto roof bars :D

    I'm in Essex Kiab

    Thanks for links, just don't understand why it's £27/30 a sheet when 18mm at BQ is around £18

    Seems expensive or is it a superior quality mdf (if that even exists) ?

    Quite right Dave :)

    I was adding on 3mm to 18mm rather than subtracting...if that makes sense? Been a long day and losing the plot!! :D

    It's expensive because it's not a common off the shelf size, coincidentally I need to source some too but in the moisture resistant variety, looked one supplier up yesterday, £38 + vat :confused:

    Don't drive a cortina / cosworth (that would be nice) or any car with 'go faster stripes'

    But....... I am in the market for some 15mm MDF, but not at a stupid price :eek:

    18mm is very popular thickness, 18mm ply is also cheaper than some thinner sizes.
