Regency Primed Moisture Resistant MDF Profile 5.49 Mtr 18mm x 80mm
Typical applications
This profiled MDF board is commonly used in construction projects, furniture making, and interior fit-out work. The 80mm width and profiled design make it particularly suitable for decorative wall panelling, skirting boards, architrave work, and cabinet construction. It is ideal for use in moisture-prone environments such as kitchens and bathrooms where standard MDF would be unsuitable.

- Furniture and cabinet construction
- Architrave and door frame applications
- Kitchen and bathroom fit-out work
Installation and preparation
The board arrives primed, which means you can proceed directly to decoration or installation without additional primer application. The profiled design allows for straightforward installation with minimal cutting waste. Ensure the board is acclimatised to the room conditions for 48 hours before installation, particularly in moisture-prone areas. Use appropriate fixings for your substrate, and seal any cut edges with paint or sealant to maintain the moisture-resistant properties.

Moisture resistance and maintenance
The moisture-resistant coating provides protection against water and humidity, making this product suitable for bathrooms and kitchens. However, it is not designed for external use or areas of direct water contact. Regular maintenance involves wiping down with a damp cloth and ensuring good ventilation to prevent moisture accumulation. The primed finish should be overcoated with appropriate paint or finish to maintain long-term protection.

- Wipe clean with damp cloth; avoid prolonged water contact
On-site handling and storage
Store the board flat in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Protect from moisture during storage and transport. Handle carefully to avoid damage to the primed surface and profiled edges. The 5.49m length requires adequate storage space and may require two operatives for safe handling and installation on vertical applications.
