HMR MDF thickness guide

We commonly process moisture resistant MDF sheets in the thickness ranges used for cabinet carcasses, shelving and wall panels. The table below summarises typical thicknesses and where they are used. Exact availability depends on your supplier and spec, and can be confirmed when quoting.

Indicative ranges for moisture resistant MDF panels

HMR MDF thickness (approx.)	Typical use
12 mm HMR MDF	Back panels, wall linings, cabinet backs and light duty panels.
16 mm HMR MDF	Standard cabinet carcasses, shelves and general joinery components.
18 mm HMR MDF	Heavier duty carcasses, open shelving and larger span panels.
25 mm HMR MDF and above	Benchtop substrates, thick shelving and high-load cabinetry elements.

*Thickness ranges above are indicative for moisture resistant MDF panels. Our cutting beds accept boards up to 1500 × 3000 mm. If you need specific branded boards, fire-retardant variants or other specialised products, mention this when you enquire so we can confirm suitability.

Capabilities at a Glance — HMR MDF

Processes and Materials

CNC router cutting of moisture resistant MDF sheets
Straight cuts, complex shapes, pockets, rebates and dados
Drilling, hinge holes and hardware holes positioned to your details
Sheets up to a maximum of 1500 × 3000 mm on our beds

Typical Part Types

Cabinet carcass components — HMR MDF for wet areas
Shelves, gables & kickers — pre-drilled and ready to edge
Wall & bulkhead panels — with cut-outs & access panels
Benchtop substrates & infills — within sheet size limits

We focus on flat moisture resistant MDF panel cutting. Edgebanding, laminating, painting and full joinery assembly are typically handled by your own shop or fitout partners. We can match cutting details to your hardware and finish systems.

Accuracy

CNC router cutting with tolerances suitable for cabinet and panel work.
Consistent part sizes across batches for repeat jobs and rollouts.
Dimensional control suited to modern hardware and joinery systems.

Finish

Clean machined edges suitable for edging, lamination or 2-pack painting.
Options for small internal radii to suit router tooling and hardware.
Logical part labelling and kitting to match your assembly workflow.

Sheet Size

Our CNC router beds are set up for HMR MDF sheets up to 1500 × 3000 mm, covering the main panel sizes used by joiners and shopfitters. Efficient nesting reduces waste and keeps unit costs down for both one-off projects and ongoing production runs.

Why use our HMR MDF cutting service?

Joinery and wet-area focused

We understand how HMR MDF is used in kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and high-use commercial joinery. Panel sizes, fixings and hardware locations are planned to work with your shop drawings and install sequences.

Set up for production and repeat work

Once cabinet libraries, panel sets and hardware positions are dialled in, we can repeat work quickly with predictable pricing and timing — ideal for builders, shopfitters and volume joinery programs.

Help preparing HMR MDF nests and parts

Work from cabinet exports, DXF/DWG or fully nested sheets. We can assist with nesting, grain direction on any faced boards and part labelling so assembly is efficient and errors are minimised on site.

Trade-ready workflow

Clear specs on thickness, board grade, edge exposure and hardware, plus realistic lead times and consistent re-runs. We are geared to support busy joinery shops, builders and fitout contractors.

More about HMR MDF cutting and design

Open the items below for more detail on designing with moisture resistant MDF and how to get the best out of CNC cut HMR panels.

When designing in HMR MDF, keep spans realistic for the thickness, allow for edging and hardware clearances, and think about where water or moisture may collect. Avoid exposing raw edges in wet areas, and design cut-outs so they can be properly sealed once installed.

HMR MDF is designed to perform better than standard MDF in moist environments, but it is not a substitute for waterproof materials. Always follow board manufacturer guidance on maximum exposure, sealing and finishing, and match board choice to the risk profile of each zone.

Moisture resistant MDF is dense and heavy. Logical stacking, strapping and labelling by cabinet, room or area keeps handling safe and efficient. We typically palletise components and label bundles clearly to match your drawing references and room names.

Most HMR MDF cutting jobs dispatch in 1–5 business days once artwork, material and quantities are confirmed. Larger fitouts, multi-site programs and complex panel sets may take longer, but we will confirm realistic timeframes before you commit.

DXF/DWG preferred; AI/SVG/PDF (vector) accepted. Units in mm; include hardware positions and critical dimensions. Upload via the instant quote.

Whether you need a handful of moisture resistant MDF panels for a small project or full cabinet packages for a large fitout, our CNC router workflow is set up for trade-ready results and predictable lead times. Upload your files or contact us to plan your next HMR MDF cutting project.

Typical applications include bathroom cabinets, laundry joinery, kitchen carcasses, hospitality fitouts, commercial washroom vanities and wet area shelving. We work with joiners, cabinetmakers, shopfitters and builders across residential and commercial projects.
