Black Valchromat Panel

Black Valchromat panel – made to measure to the nearest mm

WoodUp’s black Valchromat panel is made from black Valchromat (through-coloured, moisture-resistant MDF), certified to E1 standard (low formaldehyde emissions). It is cut and machined to order to your exact specifications: 10 to 300 cm long and 10 to 120 cm wide, to the nearest millimetre. Valchromat is not a solid wood panel but through-coloured MDF: the wood fibres are individually impregnated with organic dyes and then bonded with a special resin, giving an even colour throughout the panel’s 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 bending strength. The panel is supplied with the finish selected in the configurator: sanded and unfinished, oiled or varnished. A protective finish is recommended before use if you choose the sanded, unfinished option.

Configure the dimensions, thickness, shape (rectangular, oval, circle or octagon), edge machining (chamfered, rounded or quarter-round) and rounded corners directly on this page. For options available on request (drilling, laser printing or CNC cutting), contact WoodUp customer service before completing your order.

Advice on use and finishing

If you have chosen the sanded, unfinished option, apply a protective finish before use. For a surface subject to wear, a polyurethane floor varnish (2 to 3 coats) offers the best resistance. For a natural matt appearance, a hard oil penetrates the fibres and nourishes the wood; reapply it every 1 to 2 years depending on use. Finish every face before installation, including those that will be inaccessible afterwards.

Before working with the panel, store it flat in the room where it will be used for 48 to 72 hours to allow it to acclimatise to the ambient humidity.

WoodUp advice

Before you order: unlike the solid wood panels in this range, Valchromat is through-coloured MDF. Its colour is uniform throughout its thickness, so cutting or machining always reveals the same black shade on the cut edge. The material is moisture-resistant but not waterproof: it must not be in direct, prolonged contact with water (such as on a worktop or in a shower). A clear varnish applied in the workshop protects the surface without concealing its colour. For indoor use only.
