Details

Classic VJ by Laminex is a moisture-resistant MDF panel designed to deliver a clean vertical-joint profile in a durable, ready-to-paint sheet. Each panel is pre-primed on one face, with accurately routed V-grooves that replicate traditional tongue-and-groove VJ boards without the labour of individual timber planks. The product is engineered for interior wall and ceiling applications where a crisp, consistent finish is required.
