The Fundermax Washroom Collection is a range of decorative panels for toilet cubicles, changing rooms, lockers and washroom furniture. It allows you to coordinate colours and patterns while choosing different board types for wetter and drier areas.
Published: 6th November 2026
A cubicle door, a basin surround and a cupboard body do different jobs. Their finishes can match, but the material underneath still needs to suit the water exposure and daily wear.
The collection helps bring these parts together visually without making every component from the same board.
Explore Cworkshop’s Fundermax Washroom Collection to see the available finishes and panel options.
The Fundermax washroom brochure covers Max Compact Interior, Star Favorit MFC and Max HPL. Cworkshop offers the compact laminate and moisture-resistant MFC options.
These names describe different panel constructions, so the product name matters as much as the colour.
Max Compact Interior is a solid compact laminate panel made from layers of resin-treated paper pressed together. It has decorative faces and does not need a separate chipboard core.
Its resistance to moisture, scratches and impact makes it useful for busy washrooms. It can suit cubicles, partitions and lockers, including wet-area applications when the panel grade and installation are specified for that use.
MFC stands for melamine-faced chipboard. It has a decorative melamine surface over a chipboard core.
The washroom collection’s Star Favorit MFC uses P3 chipboard, a moisture-resistant grade for humid indoor conditions. It can suit cabinet bodies and other protected furniture in washrooms.
Moisture-resistant does not mean waterproof. Cut edges and openings need protection, and the board should not be left in standing water or exposed to repeated soaking.
Max HPL is a thin high-pressure laminate sheet that is bonded to a supporting board. The laminate supplies the decorative surface; the supporting board forms the main panel.
Fundermax includes it as an option for vanity units, doors and wall linings. Its moisture performance depends on the complete construction, including the core, adhesive and edge details.
If your design calls for thin HPL, confirm who will supply and bond it before ordering. It is a different product from a ready-made compact laminate panel.
The collection can be used for cubicles, lockers, benches, vanity units and wall panels, with the board type chosen for each application. These uses cover washrooms in schools, offices, hotels and leisure facilities, as well as suitable domestic projects.
Max Compact Interior is a practical option for cubicle doors and dividing panels that face frequent use. Its decorative faces allow both sides of a partition to remain visible.
Plan the panel thickness alongside the hinges, locks and brackets. A board that suits the room still needs fittings designed for its material, dimensions and weight.
For partitions that receive repeated splashes, choose compact laminate and fittings specified for wet-area use. Moisture-resistant MFC should not be substituted simply because it is available in the same colour.
Water also needs somewhere to drain, and the room needs ventilation. A moisture-resistant panel does not make the joints, floor or surrounding structure watertight.
Compact laminate can be used for locker doors, sides and changing-room furniture. The combination of moisture and impact resistance is useful where people handle the furniture throughout the day.
Bench seats need supports designed for the intended load and span. Do not choose a thickness or fixing arrangement solely because it worked for a nearby vertical panel.
Moisture-resistant MFC can suit protected cupboard bodies and storage away from direct wetting. This allows furniture to coordinate with nearby compact laminate panels.
A basin surround needs separate consideration. Compact laminate or an appropriately constructed HPL-faced top can be used, but basin openings, tap holes, joints and supports must be detailed for water exposure.
The material chosen for a cupboard side should not automatically become the specification for the top above it.
The collection also provides options for wall linings and panels that conceal pipes and cisterns. Plumbing access panels, often called IPS panels, must remain removable where maintenance is needed.
Choose the material by the conditions on both sides of the panel. A finished face will not protect a chipboard core from water entering through an exposed edge or a leak behind it.
The collection presented by Cworkshop includes 36 finishes: 23 plain colours, eight woodgrain designs and five material effects.
| Finish group | Examples from the collection | A way to use them |
|---|---|---|
| Plain colours | White, Fango and Frosted Teal | Keep large areas simple or distinguish doors from surrounding panels |
| Woodgrain designs | Arezzo Walnut, Truffle Cottage Oak and Lionga Elm | Introduce a timber look to lockers, cupboards or wall panels |
| Material effects | Prado Alu Grey, Brushed Aluminium and Scandio | Add a contrasting finish to selected panels or furniture |
The woodgrain options are decorative reproductions, rather than real wood veneer. A wood-effect compact panel therefore keeps the construction and care requirements of compact laminate.
FH stands for Fine Hammer Embossed. It describes the texture of the decorative surface, not the material inside the board.
The shared FH finish helps coordinate different parts of a room. However, matching the colour and texture does not make compact laminate and MFC interchangeable.
Compare the panel finish with the flooring, wall finish and fittings under the room’s lighting. Include the exposed edge in your decision: a compact laminate core can look different from matching edging on MFC.
Cworkshop’s Fundermax sample brochure helps you compare the collection. Physical samples of shortlisted finishes are useful before placing a panel order.
MFC for washroom furniture.
Create a coordinated look with Fundermax MFC, bringing colour and character to vanity units, storage and cabinetry.
Choose the panel construction before finalising sizes and drilling. Changing from chipboard to compact laminate can affect the thickness, edge appearance and fittings.
Mark each component on a drawing and identify its visible faces. For woodgrain designs, show which way the grain should run on the finished part, especially across a row of doors.
Select hinges, locks and supports before setting hole positions. Compact laminate needs compatible fixings and allowances for movement as temperature and humidity change.
Keep access panels practical to remove, and check that doors can open without catching nearby walls or fittings.
Compact laminate normally leaves its solid core exposed. The edge needs to be smooth, but it does not usually require edging tape.
Cworkshop advises that its beam-sawn compact laminate edges can need sanding on site. Confirm the edge finish included in the order, particularly for doors, benches and other edges people will touch.
MFC needs a different approach. Its exposed chipboard edges require protection, including any new edges created during fitting. Cworkshop’s panel edgebanding service can prepare specified panel edges, while holes and site-cut openings need their own finishing details.
Follow the care instructions for the selected panel and finish. Fundermax’s basic cleaning guidance starts with water and a soft cloth or sponge, with non-abrasive cleaners used as directed.
Check any stronger cleaner or disinfectant against the manufacturer’s guidance before use. The edging, adhesive, seals and fittings also need to tolerate the cleaning method.
Do not assume that every part of a washroom can be hosed down because it has compact laminate panels. Supporting materials and joints can have different limits.
For furniture with a chipboard core, keep water away from exposed edges and deal with leaks promptly. Inspect damaged edging or failed seals before repeated wetting reaches the board beneath.
A useful cutting list identifies both the finish and the panel construction. A decor name alone does not tell the workshop whether you need compact laminate or moisture-resistant MFC.
Include:
Confirm whether finished dimensions include edging, and agree any allowances for fitting against walls or around services.
Also establish what remains to be done on site, such as smoothing compact edges, sealing new openings and fitting the hardware. Cut-to-size panels are components for the project, rather than a complete installed cubicle system.
We supply Fundermax compact laminate and moisture-resistant MFC, allowing you to coordinate finishes while selecting the panel construction for each part of your project.
We offer cutting to size and CNC machining for shaped panels and drilling. Send the component drawings and fitting details so the required work can be checked against the material.
Our edgebanding service uses PUR glue to bond edging to MFC, helping protect its cut edges. Compact laminate needs a different edge finish, which should be agreed as part of the order.
The Fundermax Washroom Collection helps coordinate cubicles, lockers, wall panels and furniture. The main decision is choosing the right panel beneath the finish, particularly where water, frequent use or heavier loads affect the design.
Plan the material, fittings and edge details together. Contact Cworkshop to discuss the panel options and preparation needed for your washroom project.
