How to install tongue & groove MDF paneling

In this video I am installing tongue and groove effect MDF paneling to a bathroom that has been ripped out in preparation for a complete redecoration.
I'll show you how I went about completing this job, and show you how great it can look when it's finished.
Ensure you use a moisture resistant MDF if you are installing this kind of paneling in a bathroom or shower room.

That was really interesting, thank you. So many times I watch tutorials and they are in studio perfect situations with perfectly straight, flat walls. I'm still not sure I could attempt it but I do like seeing how it's done.

Some excellent work and true-to-life fitting problems, I used this paneling to hide some very unpleasant walling in a dining room, but mine was standing off tile battens to form a traditional look paneled wall. painted up it looked fab and a very happy customer - I'm sure yours was too Justin - Smashing job fella!

Thank you so much for sharing! This is exactly what I was looking for. 😍

[@digenesakritas6685]

Exactly what I was looking for too, much appreciated, saved me time and money. Many thanks.

[@scarlettpoppy1]

Great tips, video so helpful thanks for sharing 😊

Excellent job mate

[@JBTV]

[@williamtaylor874]

your skills are awesome !

[@JBTV]

Thanks man 👍

[@painterman8863]

Looks good mate. well done

[@JBTV]

Thanks man

[@stephenmartin2403]

That was helpful, thanks!

[@whippetkid]

Looking good, making working around imperfections look easy. I have stripped out my small WC and wanted to apply tongue & groove, however, one wall has pipes roughly 20mm above the surface. Would I have to have to chase them into the wall or do you have any work arounds I could apply? Cheers

[@Brynben1]

Fantastic job, just subscribed

[@JBTV]

Thank you

[@kathleenbaff8330]

We are wanting to put same panels into our hallway, resting it on the existing skirting. Top of skirting has slight angle - should we said off bottom edge of MDF to fit or what would you recommend?

[@mariabillings9618]

In a new overboarder bathroom, would you need to skim it before you add these panels? Or can you do the panels straight to the board

[@julietchambers2299]

Really helpful, as is a similar job to what I am having done in my bathroom

[@maxaminternational]

Great video, Justin!! (p.s. love the little welly boots in the corner) 19:30:00

[@natoyle]

Thanks for the video. Where did you source the mdf from?

[@pikricky]

Great video Justin,I take it its just tongue and groove effect and the edges just butt up against each other and don't slot in

[@JBTV]

Yep, spot on 👍

[@chrishill5083]

Looks really well! Got some in my landing and looking to smooth and paint a new colour...recommendations on sand paper and paint to use?

[@JBTV]

A bit of 180 grade sandpaper should be enough to scratch the surface. The paint is up to you, if you want a better finish, make sure it's a wood paint (gloss, satinwood etc) and not emulsion

[@nancybowen4213]

Hey JB …what type of paint did you use on project? Can it be cleaned/wiped down?

[@karenferns6160]

Good job 🙌..What thickness mdf did u use.?!

[@ChrisLivingInYork]

Excellent video as usual. Just wondered what tool bag and tote box are you using and wouldn’t you recommend them.

[@JBTV]

Thanks Chris. I have been using an old dewalt tote bag for my tools, and a solid dewalt t-tstak tote for my prepping tools for decorating. Very happy with both. Just been sent a Stanley 2x solid tool box on wheels/trolley, so will transfer tools into that when I review it and publish the video.

[@dollydaydream5839]

I would like to do a kitchen splash back to cover up tiles in the same kind of mdf panels.I will have to batten out the top to bring it in line with the depth of tiles as I am going up higher than it is now. by about 6 inches. Only problem is that the tiles are grouted around electric sockets [Instead of tiles fitting underneath] so have to losen all those first ad prob have new plug sockets fitted Thanks for the instructional video.... great for diyer 😀

[@alejandroastorga653]

Nice! what's high are your panels?

[@benciambriello9636]

What tool would be best to use if I need to cut a square out for a plug socket?

[@jennifermedia6288]

Could I install this over tiles in a kitchen?

[@angeladunn6492]

Hi justin nice job where did you get the soft wood from for the trim you said 10 by 20 is this millimetre?

[@JBTV]

Thanks Angela, I got the 20x10mm softwood from the hardware store

[@andrewmyatt154]

Did you PVA the plaster, if so what ratio thanks

[@tclark108]

This looks great, but why not include the baseboard, cap, and painting of the panels? I was looking forward to seeing it all.

[@CraigMGR]

Brilliant video. What type of saw did you use to get the panels to size ?

[@JBTV]

Thank you, it was a dewalt cordless 18v XR circular saw

[@TongueAnCheek]

Whats the best tool to use to cut to size ? I tried a normal handsaw but it just spinters and tugs splitting the ends !!

[@MadNaduk]

Really useful video, thanks! I am about to put some up in my bathroom. Can I ask - is the panelling you used water resistant or did you just paint it with gloss etc? If water resistant, can I ask where from?

[@JBTV]

The mdf is moisture resistant (green) from chandlers builders supplier. Once it's had a primer/undercoat, then 2 top coats of eggshell, it is very water resistant 👍

[@vijaykava1731]

Hi where did you get the panels from

[@tracymiller6493]

Hi what's the name of the adhesive?

[@firehorse74]

Hi JB great video can I ask where you ordered the panel from?

[@JBTV]

Thank you, got it from Alsford

[@laurencecarr670]

Why not remove the tiles first? Would allow more overhang for the sills and architrave.

[@garvielloken3929]

NOOICE!

[@selvyndonaldson3946]

Where did you get the panels from?

[@JBTV]

Chandlers

[@m1k300003]

Is an mdf panel a good idea for a bathroom?

[@JBTV]

Yes, as long as they're moisture resistant. Hence they're green...

[@botanicalsblackwaterbeyond8871]

What did you use to cut the larger cuts? Tia

[@JBTV]

I used a skill saw, I'm pretty sure there's some footage of this in the video..

[@botanicalsblackwaterbeyond8871]

Yep I saw that about 30 seconds after I asked the question when I watching the video lol

[@Liza-cl2gb]

we’re to buy the panels ?

[@JBTV]

I got them from Chandlers

[@Liza-cl2gb]

@@JBTV Excellent job and thank you .

[@TheAndrewjoynson]

There's no mention of how you cut these. You showed a piece that needed cutting and then skipped to it ready to stick
