Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are MDF primed wall panels?

MDF primed wall panels are decorative wall panels made from Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) that have been pre-coated with a primer, making them ready for painting or finishing.

2. Can MDF primed wall panels be used in bathrooms or kitchens?

Yes, you can use primed MDF wall panels in kitchens or bathrooms, but only if they don’t get wet directly. They are fine for areas with low moisture and good ventilation.  Do not use them near showers, baths, or sinks where they can get splashed.

3. Do I need to sand primed MDF panels before painting?

Yes, it’s a good idea to lightly sand primed MDF panels before painting.

Here’s why:

• Primed MDF often has a slightly rough or grainy surface from the primer.
• Light sanding (with fine sandpaper like 220 grit) smooths it out for a better finish.
• It also helps the top coat of paint stick better.
  

Tip:
After sanding, wipe the panels with a dry or damp cloth to remove dust before painting.

You don’t need to sand heavily—just enough to make the surface smooth.

4. Can I install MDF panels directly onto plastered walls?

Yes, you can install MDF panels directly onto plastered walls.

Here’s how:

• Make sure the plaster is dry, clean, and flat. Remove any dust, grease, or loose paint.
• Use strong adhesive (like grab adhesive) to stick the panels to the wall.
• For extra security, especially with larger panels, add nails or screws along the edges or into studs.
• If your walls are uneven, you may need to use a spirit level and adjust the panels as you go.

5. What type of paint should I use on MDF primed wall panels?

For MDF primed wall panels, you can use the following types of paint:

• Water-based (acrylic) paint – Easy to use, quick drying, and low odor. Great for most rooms, including living areas and bedrooms.
• Oil-based paint – Offers a tough, durable finish, ideal for high-traffic areas or where more moisture is present (like kitchens or bathrooms). Just note it takes longer to dry and has a stronger smell.
• Eggshell, satin, or semi-gloss finishes – These are good choices for a smooth, cleanable surface. Avoid matte if you want easy maintenance.

Make sure to lightly sand the primed surface before painting for the best results, and always follow with a topcoat suitable for interiors.

6. Are MDF primed wall panels easy to cut and fit?

Yes, MDF primed wall panels are easy to cut and fit.

MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is a smooth, consistent material that cuts cleanly with standard tools like a handsaw, circular saw, or jigsaw.

7. Do you offer a custom cutting service for MDF panels?

Yes we do offer cutting service for MDF Wall panels.  Straight cuts only.

8. How do I maintain MDF primed wall panels?

Maintaining MDF primed wall panels is simple and low-effort. Here's how:

1. Dust regularly – Use a soft cloth or microfiber duster to keep the panels clean and free from dust.
2. Wipe with a damp cloth – For general cleaning, use a slightly damp (not wet) cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid soaking the panels, as MDF can absorb moisture.
3. Avoid harsh cleaners – Don’t use abrasive sponges or strong chemicals, as they can damage the paint or surface.
4. Touch up when needed – If you notice any chips or scuffs, lightly sand the area and apply a small amount of matching paint to keep it looking fresh.
5. Check for moisture – In kitchens or bathrooms, make sure the room is well-ventilated to prevent long-term moisture exposure.

With these simple steps, your MDF panels will stay in good shape for years.

9. Are these panels environmentally friendly?

Primed MDF wall panels can be a relatively environmentally friendly option compared to natural wood, especially when sourced responsibly. MDF is made from wood fibers, often recycled or byproducts, reducing the need to cut down trees. However, the production process does involve chemicals and can emit VOCs.

10. How long does delivery take for MDF wall panels?

Standard delivery is 3-7 working days.  IF you need an Express delivery, please contact sales office for the cost.
