Laminex™ panels, supplied by Melbourne's leading panel manufacturer

Laminex™ is one of Australia's longest-running decorative surface brands, and its panel range has become a go-to for designers, builders and joiners who want a high-end wall or ceiling finish without custom fabrication. At Bord, we stock the two Laminex™ panel families most in demand for residential and commercial interiors: Surround by Laminex™ and Laminex™ Architectural Panels.

Because Bord manufactures and stores panels at our own Melbourne facility, we can advise on substrates, edge finishing and companion materials for your Laminex™ project, not just sell you the sheet. New to the range? Our guide, Laminex™ Panels Explained: Surround Profiles and Architectural Panels, walks through every profile and decor.

Surround by Laminex™: paint-ready decorative wall panels

Surround by Laminex™ is a range of pre-primed MDF panels with a routed profile, designed to be fixed to a prepared wall and painted in any colour. It is the fastest way to add texture to a feature wall, bedhead, hallway, kitchen island or reception desk.

Profiles available from Bord:

• Classic VJ: traditional V-groove boards for coastal, Hamptons and heritage-inspired interiors. See how designers are using it beyond the Hamptons look in VJ Panelling in Contemporary Australian Interiors.
• Heritage: a period-style profile suited to renovations and character homes.
• Batten: crisp linear grooves for a contemporary, architectural feel.
• Scallop: concave flutes that catch light and soften a space.
• Demi Round: convex reeded profile for a tactile, curved finish.

Surround panels are offered in standard and fire-rated versions, so the same look can be carried from a home into a commercial fit-out. Buying in volume or delivering interstate? See delivery information for Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Adelaide.

Laminex™ Architectural Panels: pre-finished wall and ceiling panels

Laminex™ Architectural Panels arrive pre-finished in realistic woodgrain decors, so there is no painting, staining or sealing on site. They are pressed onto black moisture-resistant (MR) MDF or black fire-rated (FR) MDF, which hides the core at exposed edges and grooves.

The range comes in four formats:

• Wall Panels (2-pack) for full-height feature walls and joinery surrounds
• Classic Flat Wall Panels for a seamless, flat woodgrain finish
• Ceiling Panels (2-pack) for ceilings, bulkheads and soffits
• Ceiling Tiles (5-pack) for modular ceiling layouts in hospitality, retail and workplace spaces

Decors include Classic Oak, Calm Oak, Planked Urban Oak, Danish Walnut, Sublime Teak, Raw Birchply and Blackened Legno, plus TrueScale Tasmanian Oak, Victorian Ash and Spotted Gum in the Classic Flat format for an authentically Australian timber look.

Surround vs Architectural Panels at a glance

How to choose the right Laminex™ panel

1. Decide on finish. If you want a specific paint colour, choose Surround. If you want timber without the finishing labour, choose Architectural Panels.
2. Check the core. Moisture-resistant cores suit kitchens, laundries and humid rooms but are not a waterproof product. For showers and wet zones, read Choosing the Right Panels for Bathrooms and Wet Areas. Where your project has fire performance requirements, choose an FR core and confirm its rating against the NCC with your certifier.
3. Match sheet length to ceiling height. Sheets in this collection run from 900mm to 3600mm long, so most walls can be covered without a horizontal join. Use the Sheet Length filter above to find the right size.
4. Order samples first. Woodgrain and profile depth read differently in person, so check samples against your lighting and joinery.
