- Low maintenance – No need to worry about bubbling paint, softening boards or early replacements. Just seal, paint, and enjoy.
- Easy to install – Moisture resistant MDF cuts, fixes and finishes just like standard panelling. This makes it equally ideal for self-fit or professional installation.
- Available in classic and modern styles – You’ll find a look to suit every interior, from shaker style wall panelling to contemporary slat designs.
- Long-term value – The slightly higher upfront cost is balanced out by reduced maintenance and a longer lifespan.

Moisture resistant panelling is the ideal option for kitchen and bathroom panelling. Made from Medite MR, you can create the same authentic look that you would achieve with MDF, but with the added bonus of moisture resistance. If you were to use wood in environments with higher humidity levels, wood and normal MDF is porous, which means over time they will become warped. With moisture resistant panelling, when it is properly prepared and installed, your panelling will look great for years to come.
Kitchen Wall Panelling
Create a timeless finish in your kitchen and elevate your space, with kitchen wall panelling. Adding panelling to your kitchen is the ideal way to enhance your scheme. Traditional-style panelling is perfect for pairing with shaker style kitchens, while slat wall panelling works well with more modern kitchens. Using MR MDF, you can create your dream kitchen, complete with panelled walls.
Bathroom Wall Panelling
Bathroom wall panelling presents the ideal way to update your bathroom, to add character and on-trend style. While panelling is timeless, it also works well in modern homes too. Bathroom panelling is a great solution to update an otherwise simple space, adding depth and architectural detail where there often is none.
