Black Valchromat panel — custom-made to the nearest mm
WoodUp's black Valchromat panel is made from black Valchromat (mass-dyed moisture-resistant MDF), certified to E1 standard (low formaldehyde emission). It is cut and machined to order according to your exact specifications: 10 to 300 cm in length, 10 to 120 cm in width, to the nearest millimetre. Valchromat is not a solid wood panel but a mass-dyed MDF: the wood fibres are individually impregnated with organic dyes and then bonded with a special resin, giving a uniform colour throughout the entire thickness — unlike painted MDF, the colour does not wear away at the surface. The material is moisture-resistant and denser than standard MDF, with good flexural strength. The panel is delivered with the finish chosen in the configurator: raw sanded, oiled or lacquered. A protective finish is recommended before use if you choose the raw sanded option.

Usage and finishing advice
If you have chosen the raw sanded finish, apply a protective finish before use. For a surface subject to wear, a polyurethane lacquer (2 to 3 coats) offers the best resistance. For a natural matt appearance, a hard oil penetrates the fibres and nourishes the wood — to be renewed every 1 to 2 years depending on use. Apply the finish to all faces before installation, including those that will be inaccessible once in place.
Before any installation, store the panel flat in the room where it will be used for 48 to 72 hours so that it acclimatises to the ambient humidity level.
WoodUp tip
What to know before ordering: unlike the solid wood panels in this range, Valchromat is a dyed MDF — its colour is uniform throughout the entire thickness, meaning that a cut or machining operation always reveals the same black tone in cross-section. The material is moisture-resistant but not waterproof: it must not be in direct, prolonged contact with water (worktops, showers). A clear lacquer applied in the workshop protects the surface without masking the colour. Interior use only.
Frequently asked questions
Can this panel be ordered with rounded edges or a special shape?
Yes. Several machining options are available in the configurator: chamfer, rounded edge and quarter-round for edges, rounded corners, and special oval, circle or octagon shapes. For complex options (drilling, laser engraving, CNC cutting), contact WoodUp customer services before finalising the order.
What finish should be applied to this panel?
The panel is delivered with the chosen option: raw sanded, oiled or lacquered. For a surface subject to wear, a polyurethane lacquer in 2 to 3 coats offers the best resistance. For a natural appearance, a hard oil to be renewed every 1 to 2 years. Finish all faces before installation.
What is the delivery lead time?
The panel is made to order and dispatched within 10 working days. You can track progress from your WoodUp customer account.
Is Valchromat wood or MDF?
Valchromat is a wood fibre panel (MDF) dyed through its full thickness — it is neither solid wood nor plywood. Its distinctive feature is that the black colour permeates the entire thickness of the panel, unlike an MDF that is simply painted on the surface.
Can the black Valchromat panel be used in damp environments?
Valchromat is moisture-resistant, which allows it to better withstand humid environments (well-ventilated bathrooms) than standard MDF. However, it must never be in direct, prolonged contact with water — avoid use as sink worktops or shower enclosures without reinforced protection.
What thicknesses are available for black Valchromat?
WoodUp offers black Valchromat in 3 thicknesses: 8 mm for lightweight cladding and decorative cuts, 19 mm for versatile use (shelving, furniture panels), and 30 mm for pieces requiring greater rigidity such as certain worktops or supports.
How do I order drilling or laser engraving options?
These options are produced on request — they are not available in the online configurator. Contact WoodUp customer services with your plans and specifications before placing an order.
