Why Choose Our Shaker Panelling Kits?
We understand that when you're taking on a home improvement project, you want materials that are reliable and easy to work with. That's why our Shaker panelling kits are thoughtfully put together with the DIY enthusiast in mind. We aim to provide you with a product that not only looks great but is also practical and long-lasting.
Our commitment to quality means we use durable materials that stand up to daily life. You don't need to be a professional joiner to get a professional finish with our kits. We’ve done the hard work of preparing the components, so you can focus on the enjoyable part of creating a beautiful space in your home.
Moisture-Resistant MDF
All our panelling is crafted from moisture-resistant MDF. This means it's not just suitable for dry areas like bedrooms and living rooms, but also for rooms where humidity can be an issue, such as bathrooms and kitchens. You can install your Shaker panelling with confidence, knowing it's designed to withstand typical household conditions without warping or swelling.
Pre-Cut MDF Strips
Each pack contains precisely pre-cut MDF strips. This saves you a lot of time and effort, as you won't need to measure and cut individual pieces yourself. The accuracy of these strips ensures a neat and consistent finish across your wall, which is essential for achieving that clean Shaker aesthetic. Just unpack, arrange, and fix them into place.
Pre-Primed Surface Finish
Every piece of panelling arrives with a smooth, pre-primed surface finish. This is a real time-saver as it means the panels are ready for painting straight away. You won't need to spend extra time sanding or applying a base coat. Just choose your favourite paint colour and get straight to finishing your new wall feature.
Getting Started with Your Shaker Panelling Project
Fitting our Shaker panelling is a straightforward process, designed for ease of installation. Even if you're new to DIY, you'll find our kits manageable. We provide clear instructions to guide you every step of the way, helping you achieve a professional-looking result without the need for specialist tools or skills. For detailed advice, remember to check out our fitting guidelines.
Before you begin, it’s a good idea to plan out your wall layout. Consider the height you want the panelling to reach and how many panels you'll need for your chosen area.
Our packs are designed to cover standard wall widths, and you can easily combine them for larger spaces or trim them down for smaller sections.
High-Grab Panel Adhesive
For a secure and lasting fit, we recommend using a quality high-grab panel adhesive. This type of adhesive is specifically formulated to bond MDF panels firmly to your wall, ensuring they stay put for years to come. Applying the adhesive is quick and clean, making the installation process even simpler.
Customising Your Shaker Look
While the Shaker style is known for its simplicity, there are still plenty of ways to customise your panelling to perfectly match your home's character. We offer various options to help you create a truly unique feature wall. Think about the overall height of your panelling and how it will interact with existing features in your room.
Whether you're aiming for a subtle backdrop or a more prominent design statement, our flexible options allow you to tailor the look. You can choose different configurations depending on the room and the effect you want to achieve.
Strip Width and Thickness Options
We offer various strip width and thickness options to help you achieve the exact Shaker style you envision. You might prefer narrower strips for a more delicate, intricate look, or wider strips for a bolder, more substantial feel. The choice of thickness can also impact the depth and shadow lines of your panelling, adding another layer of customisation to your project.
Backing Board Options
You can choose between installing the strips directly onto your wall or opting for our convenient backing board options. Installing directly onto the wall is great if your wall is smooth and even. However, if your walls are a bit uneven or you prefer a completely smooth panel surface, our backing boards provide a perfect foundation. This choice gives you flexibility depending on your existing wall condition and personal preference.
Dado Rail Capping Moulding
To complete the traditional Shaker look, consider adding a dado rail capping moulding at the top of your panels. This not only provides a neat finish but also adds a classic architectural detail that ties the whole look together. It creates a defined edge and can also serve as a practical shelf for small decorative items or pictures.
What's in a Shaker Panelling Pack?
Our Shaker panelling packs are designed to be comprehensive, ensuring you have all the main components you need to get started. Each kit typically includes a set number of vertical and horizontal pre-cut MDF strips, carefully sized to create the classic Shaker grid pattern. For example, you might find a 2.3m wide kit with 7 panels ready to install.
When you order a pack, you'll receive the necessary pieces to cover a specific width, with options for different heights. If you choose a kit with backing boards, these will also be included, ready to be fixed to your wall before the strips are applied. This approach minimises waste and ensures you have a coherent set of components for your project.
Remember that while our packs provide the core panelling elements, you will need to source your preferred adhesive and paint separately. This allows you to select products that best suit your specific wall type and desired final finish. We also offer options for Shaker style kits with backboards for an even smoother installation.
Beyond Shaker and Explore Our Other Styles
While Shaker panelling is a fantastic choice for many homes, we offer a range of other styles if you're looking for something different or planning multiple projects. Each style brings its own unique character and can transform a room in a distinct way. Exploring these options might give you ideas for other areas of your home or inspire a different look entirely.
For instance, if you appreciate more traditional detailing, you might like our Georgian style panelling or perhaps our Edwardian style kits. If you prefer a more intricate design, our Elizabethan panelling could be perfect. We also supply tongue and groove style panels for a classic cottage or coastal feel. Each style is crafted with the same attention to detail and ease of installation as our Shaker range.
