Fireplace surround made of MDF, by Marcel

What have you made?

A fireplace surround made of MDF Lakdrager for an electric decorative fireplace, with bottom plateau. The electrical facilities are concealed from view in the MDF bottom platform!

How did you make the conversion?

First of all, a frame was made from custom-sawn spruce and planed beams. I mounted this securely with high-quality hollow wall plugs. I then mounted MDF lacquer panels. The bottom platform was also supplied custom-made and could be screwed and glued together immediately. The panels were painted with matte wall paint that could be applied directly to the MDF. The whole has a sleek appearance and the advantage is that no plasterwork had to be done! The electricity is concealed in the bottom plateau.

What are the dimensions?

The width at the top is 103.0 cm, the bottom is 120.0 cm wide.
