Click-Lock MDF Wall Base Molding
Thin MDF strips, 4 mm in thickness, with a proprietary click-lock tongue-and-groove system along the edges, designed for baseboard applications in building wall finishes. These strips offer a durable, paint-ready surface for interior trim. They are classified under tariff item 4411.12.00 as MDF of a thickness not exceeding 5 mm, as the click-lock profiling does not remove them from the fibreboard heading.
