MDF VJ Sheeting in Melbourne?

[OBBob]

Hi All

Does anyone know where you can get this sort of product in Melbourne?

This example comes from QLD and costs hundereds to ship down, which screws up the price. I have found one similar one in Melbourne but it was more expensive that this version including the shipping!!

Any ideas? Otherwise I will have to either use standard pine panelling or make my own mdf version with a router.

OB, Bunnings has a brand called Easycraft (I think), it's a HMR MDF wall panelling, t&g edges (uses a plastic tongue). VJ & regency profiles.

Can't remember pricing.

Thanks

I have tried a number of the board manufacturers listed above and you'd be surprised how many don't even know the product exists! Others will make it ... for a fee.

Easycraft is also from QLD and my Bunnings don't actually stock it, so the order in price is just as bad.

There must be a lot more use of this panneling in old qld houses??

Thansk again.

A router and a template is looking good!

Try Laminex Industries on 132 136.

They sell an MDF sheet with V grooves at about 100mm centres.

Sheet size is 2400x1200. Not sure if you can get longer sizes.

If you want something custom made, try contacting a vinyl door manufacturer. They have overhead CNC routers for doing such work. A few to try in Melbourne would be:

Janper Doors Ph: 9720 0533
Albedor Ph: 9761 6330

Hi OBbob,
try the Australian moulding co. out at Bayswater Nth on 97615456 or online at www.australianmoulding.com . They have the regency profile online but my experiance tells me they are the ones to try with helpfull staff fair prices and good turnaround times!

Best of luck,
Jason.

Hi There,theyre Selling Some Of This On Ebay....

[OBBob]

Thanks guys

For a final update, I ended up doing it myself. I have used the normal pine lining before and it was no harder to rout all the grooves in the MDF sheet once I had set up a good template. It was also significantly cheaper and I wont have issues with joins opening and closing with the weather.

Thanks for the help.

I know that I've missed the boat, but just a mention that you can get a VJ sheet called HardiGroove. I don't know how the price compares to MDF, but I'd imagine that most hardwares could get it in pretty easily since it comes from Hardies.

Thanks ... I did find that but it worked out quite expensive. I'm getting to that end of the project where you try to restrain the constant hemorrhaging of funds!! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
