Yes, I checked out Ikea panels and they does not fit with what i am doing :-). I went through the whole list and could not see any matching size. Either too short or i have to trim it and if i trim it, the edge won't look good any more.

-Mounting hinges will most likely require hardware to be visible on the front side.

For those that don't know what Dibond is, its a polyurethane core sheeted with aluminum. If comes finished with a dozen colors and is weather proof.
If i recall correctly, they come in 4' x 8' sheets and are 1/8" thick.

Thanks so it is doable with those in minds?

You could probably get sabic plastics to cut the to size, I'm not sure that they will smooth the edges and or dress them with an edge trim for you though.
