White on Cue: James Latham unveils Valchromat’s new colour

James Latham has introduced Valchromat White Pearl full-colour MDF.

The white hue is described by the manufacturer as featuring “exceptional brightness and opacity across its entire length, breadth, and depth”. The latest addition to Valchromat’s 12-Colour Palette range, White Pearl pairs with other shades in the collection or contrasts with other materials, from natural timber and stone to burnished metals and tempered glass.

Its relative light-reflecting nature means it can take advantage of dynamic lighting, delivering a minimalist, spare backdrop that throws other features into relief, even more so when finished in a light reflective coating. It’s also able to harness coloured lighting arrangements to create richer shades on the surface without needing to swap out the panel.

Not just a pretty face
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, White Pearl is engineered for performance. Its strength and moisture-resistance make it an ideal material for everything from standalone furniture to interior cladding; simultaneously delivering form, function, and visual appeal. It’s easy to work and machine, tool friendly, non-toxic, and upon request, can be supplied as a flame-retardant option. Similar to Valchromat’s other panels, it’s also produced from sustainably sourced pine sawdust and waste in a low-carbon environment.


“Once again, Valchromat has moved the dial even further for what can be done within the MDF category. This is rightly regarded as an important moment across the entire timber trade and we feel privileged to be able to introduce it to the UK & Irish markets. The material is also symbolic of our businesses’ shared reputation for industry firsts and commitment to self-improvement, enhancing our propositions to give customers what they want, when they need it and, sometimes, before they’ve even thought of it.”
Nick Widlinski, Panels Director at James Latham


Valchromat White Pearl is stocked nationwide across James Latham’s 12 depots. It’s available in a variety of thicknesses, from 8mm to 30mm, and dimensions starting at 2440mm x 1220mm.
