Making a stylish meter cupboard door from MDF, by Damon

The function of the meter cupboard door

Damon accepted the challenge to create a stylish and practical door for the meter cupboard. It is not only an essential component for keeping the messy electrical and gas installation out of sight, but it also ensures a neat and finished look in the hallway.

The structure: materials and design

The meter cupboard door is constructed entirely from MDF Natural, a widely used material due to its smooth finish and ease of workability. The design is sleek and simple, fitting the modern look of the room. The door is perfectly integrated into the wall, allowing it to subtly blend in with the rest of the interior.

Location and aesthetics

The meter cupboard is located in the hallway next to the front door. The simplicity of the design ensures that the door blends seamlessly into the surroundings and maintains a calm aesthetic. Special attention has been paid to the finish, giving the whole a sleek and tidy look.

Unique design and use

What makes this door unique is the application of plasterwork around the door, completely concealing it within the wall. This not only creates a very sleek appearance but also ensures a uniform look for the hallway.

The role of TOSIZE.ie

The cut-to-size MDF pieces were supplied by TOSIZE.ie, which ensured that Damon could execute his design with millimeter accuracy. This gave him the freedom to achieve perfect dimensions and a level result without the hassle of sawing himself.

MDF Natural: the benefits

MDF Natural is the ideal choice for sleek interior projects like this one. It has a smooth surface that is easy to paint without much preparation. Additionally, the material is stable and does not bend easily, perfect for doors and wall panels!

Modern style

The minimalist approach gives the space a Modern flair. The use of wooden materials with a light finish contributes to a sense of simplicity and tranquility, which is typical of this style.

DIY tips for success

Tip: Always use a good primer before you start painting on MDF to achieve a beautiful, even color without bleeding. Additionally, ensure you have sharp, new saws for a precise cut without fraying.
