Question
I am a retired contractor and have been building storage cabinets for my home. Until now I obtained 1/2" melamine faced MDF (1 and 2 sided) from Austin Hardwoods on Sunset in Las Vegas. I am on my last set of cabinets and the Sunset location of Austin is now closed/gone. Do you know of anyone selling 1/2" - 4'x8' sheets in Las Vegas? The big box stores only carry 3/4" two sided. I only need 3 sheets of each (1-sided and 2-sided). Your help is most appreciated!
Roy,
Try Peterman Lumber (702-430-3433) OR McKillican (702-365-6422). If all else fails, even Rugby Supply might have what you're looking for (702-248-0050).
Doesn't seem like an item that should be that hard to find. Good luck,
Jamie

| Comment | Thanks for the info! FYI, Peterman and National Wood do not carry single sided melamine on particle board or MDF. Rugby Supply has 1 and 2 sided melamine/particle board and Mckillican claims to have 1 and 2 sided mdf. | ||
