Hi everyone,

as part of my ongoing house renovation, we have decided to do wood panelling throughout our hallway to give it that extra character.

ive been looking at images so I can get a carpenter to do it for me. I’m planning on using 18mm MDF, made in to strips then putting it on to fresh plaster wall to create the boxes. I then plan on putting mouldings in to each square. However, I can’t seem to find the correct mouldings. The most common depths on mouldings are 6mm to 12mm.

i feel I need 18mm mouldings to look good against the 18mm mdf, but not sure if 12mm would look fine? Would it create too much of a lip?

ive put a few pics in for reference. If anyone can figure out what or how the mouldings are done in each square I’d be very grateful.

thank you in advance !
 
Plaster isn't always that flat and us rarely perfect. If you fix 6mm MDF to the wall them build your faux framing using 9 or 12mm MDF strips (solid timber framing rarely has the panels set back by 3/4in) it should be possible to find appropriate size beading. Finish the top with a dado rail moulding or the like

You could contact a specialist cnc router company who could supply strips of mdf routed with the moulding on each side. They could probably cut it into the correct strips as well.
Or a local chippy might be able to do it on site.

Routing the mdf will be time consuming but is quite quick- especially if the guy has a table set up to do it.
Any extra time/ expense would probably be offset by speed once you get to the fixing stage. Cutting loads of bits of trim will take ages

ok yes so do an mdf backing to get it bang on straight.

I was thinking as you said, to do it on 12mm mdf with 12mm beading. But was a little scared it may not have enough depth
