hey all i will be buying alot of melamine soon and am wondeing the best way t buy it and who has it the cheaepest will need it in i think its 2400cm x 1200cm i think any way who has it the cheapset
Bunnings occassionally have it for $35 a sheet, which is great if you have a way of cutting it yourself. Bunnings can cut it, but they're about as accuarate as a 4 year old with crayons.
I've seen HMR 1200 x 2400 at Bunnings for $18 a sheet (need a trade account though), but as Jonno says, they are not very accurate when it comes to cutting, and the blade usually chips the edge of the melamine.
I'd go with Mr Ply & Wood, they will cut it to the millimetre (extremely accurate) and with the proper blade. They usually do the cutting for free also (not always, but usually - for me anyway).
Was this DEFINATELY for the HMR melamine or just the standard stuff??I'm 100% certain Jonno, this was about 3-4 months, i don't know if they're still offering it at that price, it may have been on special. My girlfriend showed me a leaflet her father's business had been sent from Bunnings, i saw the melamine on there for $18. So i went into the shop, into the trade section, and saw it there at $18 per sheet. I then spoke to the guy about his saw (hoping it would be better than what my local store uses) but was disappointed to find out they use the same type of saw, and the guy mentioned the blade was pretty old so there was no chance of getting a decent cut from them. It would have been sweet if i had my own table saw though!!
The shelving board isn't HMR though is it?I get mine from Mr Ply & Wood these days, but rather than buy 1 large board (i.e. 1200 x 2400) i buy the 595 x 3600 'shelving' boards and have them cut into pieces. Works out great as 595 is the perfect width for cages and they already have one edge on them, which is all you need.
