Chipboard for kitchen cupboard shelves - daft question
 

What is the name of the vinyl covered chipboard used for kitchen
cupboard shelves? Does it have a 'trade name'?

Also, what is the name of the small plastic 'plugs' that you push into
holes in the cabinet/cupboard sides and which then support the
shelves?

Thanks

Melamine coated particleboard. Often called Contiboard.

Shelf support studs. Available from people like Woodfit and Issac lord (and
very likely Screwfix and B&Q)

'Contiboard' is the generic name, Wickes call it Furniture Panel,
Melamine-Faced Chipboard Panel probably describes it best.

Shelf supports. Screwfix do metal or plastic
