16mm sheet material, preferably melamine covered

May 26, 2025 2 Replies

This is getting silly! All I want is some laminate covered board (chipboard, MDF, whatever) for making up drwaer units that require



16mm thick bottoms and backs. (GTV Axis Pro, but others also want 16mm material).

With the current increasing wooliness of search engines simply looking for "16mm board" produces zillions of hits for every other thickness possible but not for 16mm.



Can anyone suggest a way of actually finding 16mm board? It doesn't even have to be melamine covered, 16mm plywood would be OK.



(I have found 16mm bamboo plywood but the quantity and price was ridiculous!)


Typical, some further searching finally produced exactly what I'm after:-

It's pretty cheap too! :-)

Modern search engines are becoming more and more useless.

Would a sheet of 9mm plus a sheet of 6mm do you? Not sure of the tolerances but it would leave 1mm for glue?

You can get 9mm melamine faced ply (I think, this website isn't super clear):

but you can also get somebody to do the facing for you (people who make kitchen units have the presses)
