    Hi all,

    Real newbie/silly question perhaps but I'm in need of a 400mm X 400mm piece of white laminate MDF or Chipboard to mount on a pair ofthese hinges so I can extend the width of a built in white laminated desk from time to time? It won't be particularly load bearing but I would like it to fit in and not look too out of place so having it finished in white laminate including the edges is important.

    Any suggestions that aren't kitchen / wardrobe companies? I tried a couple of these saying I was happy to pay (which I am) but it's just too Mickey Mouse for them to be bothered with.

    Conti board, sold in various width and under different names by Woodies, B&Q etc. Just cut the length down to whatever you need.

    That looks perfect thanks Borzoi. Do you know if either Woodies or Homebase (Nutgrove) will cut it to the size I want as I don't have either a jigsaw or a skill saw?

    If I can get it cut to size I guess Woodies/Homebase will sell white edging which can be just ironed on.

    Not that I know, B&Q Liffey valley definitely do - subject to saw actually working. A great plus is that once cut its so much easier to transport home

    The saw has been out of order the last while in B&Q Liffey valley, they sent me over to Tallaght to get the cuts done.
    Ring them if you can get through!

    Just FYI to anyone who might come across this thread in future Homebase in Nutgrove confirmed on the phone to me that they will cut to size in store. See https://www.homebase.co.uk/in-store-services/timber-cutting
