Overview
Choose flat-faced stock or a covered profile before specifying the film.
A flat PVC-faced sheet is cut and edged after facing. A continuous film over a routed recess requires the profile to be machined before covering and a suitable film, adhesive and forming process. These routes have different delivered edges and remaining workshop operations.
Flat sheets are cut and edged in the workshop. A continuous film over a routed door profile needs a film and forming process selected for that shape. Use the surface comparison for HPL or melamine alternatives; use PET MDF when PET is the specified film.
Applications

Details for your application
Panel construction and finishing
| Film gauge and appearance | Gauge belongs to the selected PVC film reference. Choose colour or woodgrain, texture, sheen and processing grade; keep its film data with the panel item. |
|---|---|
| Faces and reverse | PVC on one or both faces. A single decorative front includes a specified reverse or backer in the complete panel construction. |
| Finished thickness and format | Set a finished target and full-sheet or part dimensions. Select the MDF core, film gauge, reverse and bonding build-up; usable film width and direction govern the faced sheet layout. |
| Processing route | Flat sheets are cut and edged. Continuous coverage over a routed profile needs a separately specified film, adhesive and forming process; attach the profile drawing. |
| MDF substrate | Choose standard MDF for dry interiors or MR / HMR for humid interiors; identify the core grade and emission method independently of the PVC face. |
Set the finished target; identify each layer
For a flat panel, finished thickness = MDF core + PVC front + reverse + bonding layers. Film gauge comes from the selected film reference. Its usable width and grain direction determine how the sheet or part layout fits.
Order full sheets by delivered width × length, or parts by a numbered component schedule. A profile also needs its depth, corners, radii and covering route. The quotation lists the film gauge, core, reverse and completed dimensions for that item.
| PVC face | Film reference, thickness, decor, texture, sheen and grain direction, with the intended processing route. |
|---|---|
| MDF substrate | Core grade and thickness, emission class and test method, matched to the intended environment. |
| Finished dimensions | Total panel thickness and tolerance; full-sheet format or a component schedule with drawing revisions. |
| Reverse | Single-sided or double-sided PVC; name the back treatment, finish reference and layer construction. |
| Edges and detail | Separate edging or a specified forming detail; corner, joint and exposed-edge positions. |
| Delivered scope | Sheets for your workshop, or the component preparation you want discussed in the quotation. |

| Requested item | Details to include | Workshop work to identify |
|---|---|---|
| Flat PVC-faced sheet | Requested sheet format, finished thickness, film reference, one or two faces and the reverse. | Cutting, edge banding, holes, hardware and assembly after delivery. |
| Blank or profiled part for later covering | Part drawing, MDF core, machining, surface preparation and intended film/forming route. | Who will apply the film, trim it, finish the reverse and complete the part. |
| Finished film-covered component | Complete dimensions, profile, film identity, covered faces, reverse, fittings and finish reference. | Included processing, assembly and any remaining operations at your workshop. |
Choose the substrate separately: CUZI’s standard MDF range is 2.5–35 mm; MR / HMR MDF is 9–25 mm for humid interiors. These are bare-board ranges. The finished panel combines the selected core with the front, reverse and bonding layers. Choose the core within the finished construction; each facing does not automatically cover every bare-board thickness or format.
Configuration
Choose the finishing sequence before cutting
Routing through a faced sheet removes the PVC in that feature. For a continuous film over a recess, the profile is machined before covering. Select the appropriate film grade, adhesive and process with the actual section drawing.
RENOLIT’s processing overview distinguishes flat lamination, wrapping and three-dimensional thermoforming. These process categories guide material selection; the proposed item identifies the operations included in your order.
Choose the purchase route for your finished front.
Start with the item you want delivered. Each route keeps the film, reverse, drawing and workshop operations together in your request.
Scroll horizontally to compare all columns.
| Buying decision | Compare before ordering | Your next step |
|---|---|---|
| Flat sheet with an edged corner | Trial the actual PVC face, cut edge, selected band, corner joint and reverse. Include hinge or pocket details and the total finished dimension after edging. | Trial the flat edged part |
| Continuous film over a profile | Send the recess, inside corner, radius and return drawing. Review the chosen film and bond around the complete profile, reverse and trimming detail with the proposed forming route. | Trial the formed profile |
| Film and component data | Request the actual film grade, gauge and relevant surface or processing methods. Keep the MDF emission method and complete finished-part fit on separate lines. | Request film and panel data |
| An adjoining furniture set | Use the 120-set schedule below: 240 door blanks plus 480 drawer blanks. Add direction, matching, machining allowances, selected spares and supplied operations before comparing sheet or component prices. | Quote 120 furniture sets |
The 18 mm links use a requested finished drawing dimension; actual core, film, reverse and bonding gauges are identified in the offer. Flat sheets, uncovered profiled blanks and complete film-covered parts carry different processing scopes. Keep the selected scope with the item price and sample reference.
Quantity example: 120 door and drawer sets
For a planned run of 120 furniture sets, each with two 450 × 720 mm rectangular door blanks and four 450 × 180 mm drawer-front blanks, the schedule below calculates the part quantities and net blank area. It excludes cutting gaps, edge trim, machining allowances, defects and a production reserve.
Scroll horizontally to compare all columns.
| Component blank | Per set | Total quantity | Area per blank | Total blank area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Door · 450 × 720 mm | 2 | 240 | 0.324 m² | 77.76 m² |
| Drawer front · 450 × 180 mm | 4 | 480 | 0.081 m² | 38.88 m² |
| Complete run | 720 blanks | Before process allowances | 116.64 m² | |
These figures describe blank demand, rather than the sheet order. Send the complete list with requested sheet dimensions, direction restrictions and the allowances required by your process. The cutting plan and proposed formats will determine purchased sheets and usable component cost.
If the listed sizes are completed wrapped or edged dimensions, prepare the actual core or blank sizes from the drawing before nesting. Group adjoining pieces by set and mark any pattern sequence that prevents independent rotation. Carry those groups into pack labels so the workshop can assemble the finish you selected.
For humid interiors, specify MR / HMR in the core description and protect exposed edges, cut-outs and joints. A decorative face does not make MDF waterproof. Use the selected facing and adhesive system’s service and cleaning instructions with the completed component.

FAQ
PVC MDF questions for your buying team.
What is PVC faced MDF?
PVC faced MDF is MDF with a decorative PVC film on one or both faces. The film reference identifies its material gauge, decor, texture and sheen. The MDF core, reverse and bonding layers complete the panel construction.
Which PVC panel thicknesses and formats can I order?
PVC MDF is made to a finished thickness and sheet or part schedule. The total is the MDF core plus PVC, reverse and bonding layers; the selected film’s usable width and grain direction govern the faced format. State the finished target and component sizes, and the offer lists the core, film gauge, reverse and delivered dimensions together.
What film thicknesses and surface effects are available?
PVC film gauge and forming suitability belong to the selected film reference. Specify its colour or woodgrain, texture, sheen and intended flat or profiled process. The quotation identifies the offered film gauge with the MDF and reverse, while the physical sample establishes the finish.
Can the PVC face be on both sides?
Yes. Single-sided and double-sided PVC panels are available. For one decorative front, specify the reverse or backer as part of the panel. For two visible sides, identify both film references, directions and edges, then check the finished component for fit and flatness.
Can I choose an MR / HMR MDF substrate?
Yes. Specify MR / HMR MDF for humid interiors and standard MDF for dry interiors. CUZI’s bare standard MDF range is 2.5–35 mm and MR / HMR range is 9–25 mm. The selected core, PVC film, reverse and bonding layers determine the finished thickness; protect exposed edges and openings.
Is a PVC-faced sheet the same as a thermofoil door?
No. A flat PVC-faced sheet is board stock for subsequent cutting and edging. A film-covered profiled door is a component with a defined shape, film grade, adhesive and covering process. Choose the delivered item first, then specify the profile, reverse and remaining workshop operations.
Can I route the panel after it is faced?
Yes, but routing through the existing PVC removes the film and exposes MDF in that feature. Finish that area separately. For continuous film over a recess or return, machine the profile first and use a film and covering process suited to its depths, corners and radii.
Is PVC faced MDF waterproof?
No. A PVC face does not make the MDF panel waterproof. For humid interior furniture, use an appropriate MR / HMR core and protect joints, edges and openings. Follow the chosen film and adhesive system’s limits for heat, moisture and cleaning.
How do I match a door, drawer and edge?
Compare the selected film and edge samples together under the intended lighting. Mark grain arrows and adjacent fronts on the furniture elevation. Retain colour, texture, sheen and set numbers with the finished corner so the cutting and packing schedule preserves the selected appearance.
What should I include in a PVC MDF sample request?
For flat stock, include an edged corner and a representative hardware opening. For a covered profile, include the deepest recess, return and inside corner. Identify film, MDF, adhesive and reverse, then record the finished dimensions and observations in the sample worksheet.
Which reports describe a PVC MDF panel?
Use MDF data for the identified core and film data for the selected PVC. The bare-board report does not cover added film, adhesive or the finished component. Where the project requires finished-panel performance, use documents identifying that complete build-up and method.
