LF: Glossy wall panels, MDF or Melamine

[bubbley]

Hey guys - looking for a glossy type of material to put on walls - looking to source from Calgary, I think there are different ways to achieve the gloss:

-Back painted glass
-Gloss MDF
-Melamine

I am not familiar with materials maybe you know better or of other alternatives. Looking for the most cost effective material with gloss. Sort of like the Ikea white gloss, this is also for a retail environment.

How about the actual Ikea white gloss? In a 3x8 panel: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/pr...925/#/80069986

home depot/lowes sell FRP - fiber reinforced panel... about an 1/8" thick - smooth fiberglass on one side, textured on the other.

Darn! I use to have a bunch of sample panels I ran in our Melamine line that were on Mirror Plates. Full 4 x 8 White HighGloss sheets.

We went to look at these, these are very thick and I think the purpose of them are for cabinet doors but this stuff is kind of what we are after!

thanks

Do you no where we can get this stuff? Do you have a store? Even if you do not have a sample that is fine a photo would work as well

PM me if you can get this stuff!

A very evil place for many men - Industrial Plastics & Paint.

They might have what you're looking for.

Used them for glossy plastic hockey board sheets for use at our business.

Am going to use them for smoked Lexan patio roof panels in the very near future.

Buy our shop's plastic bags there.

Maybe not the cheapest but certainly they have products that will be difficult to source anywhere else in Calgary.

I have to stay away from them because they've got shit that makes me think of new projects to build.

SABIC Polymershapes probably has something.
