JustMDF: made-to-measure MDF and melamine-faced board cutting from Northampton

JustMDF is a family-run business with its own workshop in Northampton (United Kingdom) dedicated to made-to-measure cutting of wood-based boards. It works with both trade customers and DIY enthusiasts, supplying full boards or custom pieces to the dimensions requested by each customer. The company presents itself as a supplier of ready-to-use components designed to reduce material waste and working time on every project.

Boards and materials available

The catalogue covers a wide variety of boards and finishes:

• Medite standard MDF, also available in a trade-grade version.
• Moisture-resistant MDF, for kitchens, bathrooms and areas with higher ambient humidity.
• Factory-primed MDF.
• Melamine-faced MDF and Egger Eurodekor melamine-faced chipboard.
• Natural wood veneered boards, including oak veneer.
• Black dyed MDF.
• Matt and gloss acrylic MDF boards.
• Textured solid colour MDF.
• MEDITE TRICOYA EXTREME boards.
• Plywood.

The company explains that MDF is an engineered wood product made from compressed wood fibres, wax and resin, with a smooth surface and no grain or knots, suitable for furniture, shelving, panelling and decorative projects. It distinguishes between standard, moisture-resistant, fire-retardant and Tricoya MDF, the latter featuring acetylation technology that gives it greater durability and water resistance for outdoor projects and demanding wet areas.

As for melamine-faced chipboard, the company describes Eurodekor as the standard board for furniture and interior design, with a Eurospan core for dry interiors and a decorative melamine resin coating. It states that standard Eurodekor E1 P2 board is available in 130 decor and texture combinations, and that it also comes in E1 P3 and in a Flammex version with fire-retardant properties.

Decorative panels and interior solutions

In addition to board cutting, JustMDF sells a range of panels and solutions for interior design and furniture, including wall panels of various types (fluted, ribbed, V-groove, Shaker style, bead and butt, black dyed panels and slat panels), TV back panels, media wall sets, event backdrop arches, Deco-Floors panels, wall and kitchen shelves, and furniture fittings such as ball-bearing drawer runners and hinges. The range is completed with adhesives and sealants and product samples.

Made-to-measure cutting and precision

The main service consists of cutting the board to the dimensions requested by the customer, whether rectangular or square shapes or free-form shapes using a CNC machine. The company states that its Format 4 Beamsaw cuts with a precision of ±0.1 mm relative to the required measurement, and that it also uses a Fabertec CNC. The standard thicknesses offered are 9, 12, 15, 18, 22, 25 and 30 mm, with the caveat that not all boards have all these options available. The Egger Decorative Collection 26+ is offered with a minimum order quantity of one board cut to size, with a full board dimension of 2800 x 2070 mm.

Ordering process and delivery

The purchasing process is structured in seven steps: the customer chooses dimensions and number of pieces; the company confirms the order by email; the made-to-measure cutting is carried out; contact is maintained with the customer online, via chat, email or phone; the order is packed and handed to the delivery team; transport is carried out by trained staff to ensure safe handling; and the customer receives the order ready to use and cut to the exact sizes. All confirmations are sent by email and include the order number, board type, requested sizes and billing and delivery addresses. The company states that its goal is to process and dispatch all orders within five working days.

Delivery is UK-wide using various means depending on the customer's location, from own vehicles to conventional couriers and pallet deliveries. JustMDF serves both individuals and trade customers, and offers discounts to trade customers, usually based on order volume and frequency. Trade customers can open an account with access to a free cutting optimiser. The company also offers the possibility of requesting a quote by uploading a cutting list or files, and of ordering boards not shown in the catalogue, in which case it finds a solution with its suppliers.

Customer profile and service

JustMDF targets both industry professionals and DIY enthusiasts, without restricting its activity to a single type of buyer. The company emphasises that its team responds quickly and in plain English, and offers support by phone, email and chat throughout the ordering process.
