What is the name of the vinyl covered chipboard used for kitchen cupboard shelves? Does it have a 'trade name'?
Also, what is the name of the small plastic 'plugs' that you push into holes in the cabinet/cupboard sides and which then support the shelves?
Thanks
Melamine coated particleboard. Often called Contiboard.
Shelf support studs. Available from people like Woodfit and Issac lord (and very likely Screwfix and B&Q)
As in:
(There are several different designs/finishes.)
'Contiboard' is the generic name, Wickes call it Furniture Panel, Melamine-Faced Chipboard Panel probably describes it best.
Shelf supports. Screwfix do metal or plastic
Many thanks guys. :-)
