Working in a builders’ merchant is great, but we also understand that it can sometimes be overwhelming with the sheer volume of products you have to familiarise yourself with. You can’t be expected to know every tiny detail of every product, so we thought it might be useful to pull together some common questions and provide you with the resources to answer them, helping you sell MDF mouldings.
What is the lead time for MDF mouldings?
We understand that good communication with our customers is crucial, especially when it comes to lead times, which is why we send out an email at the start of each week highlighting dispatch dates and lead times based on when orders are placed. If you would like to receive this, you can sign up here.
What profiles are included in your stock range?
We regularly review the market, so you can be rest-assured our stock range includes the best-selling MDF mouldings profiles meaning they will be easier for you to sell (we are aware of regional differences and offer variations on profiles and specifications). Our sales team is always on hand to ensure you have the products your customers want, on the shelf, when they need them. You can view our full stock range here or watch this video to find out more.
I have seen a profile I like online that isn’t from your stock range.
Can you match it?
Yes, our experienced technical team offers a profile matching service. We have manufactured thousands of profiles, so it is likely we will have already manufactured the profile your customer is
looking for. If we haven’t, our technical team will present a similar profile from our library as an option to save your customer money on tooling, but we are also more than happy to create a new CAD drawing and manufacture the exact bespoke profile if preferred (minimum order quantities will apply). You can submit your images or drawings here.
I’d like to see a sample before I place an order. Can you organise this?
Absolutely! We offer primed samples for our full stock range, as well as profiles from our fully finished, wrapped and exterior grade product ranges. If your request is for a made-to-order profile, we can print a 3D sample and have it posted out to you or your customer within a few days. You can order samples here.
What are the advantages of MDF mouldings over alternative products?
There are many time and cost saving benefits of using MDF mouldings over alternative products, such as timber. We created this handy video to explain it in more detail, or if you prefer to read you can find more information in the blog posts below:
