Materials used in Kitchen cabinets

A kitchen is a space where food is cooked and prepared. Kitchens are typically found in private residences, eateries, and other public spaces that frequently serve food.

The majority of kitchens on the market today are modular.  The majority of people can now afford beautiful designer kitchens thanks to modular designs; you no longer need to work with a specialised cabinet manufacturer to plan and construct your new kitchen.

The kitchen can be made of different types of materials according to the cost and finish. Some of them are:-

1. Plywood

Most kitchen cabinets are made of plywood. It is constructed of thin plies that are adhered together, and the exterior is veneered or laminated for aesthetic purposes. Another name for plywood is framing material for laminate or veneer.

2. MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard)

Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF) is created by dissolving real wood into wood fibers. After that, it is adhered using a specific resin under high pressure and temperature. It is more affordable than plywood and a better choice than particle board because it is more robust and long-lasting.  The ideal material to use when creating modular kitchen is this. Due to its consistency, it has no broken edges.

3. HDHMR(High-Density High Moisture Resistance)

This material offers the strongest resistance to exposure to water of all the aforementioned materials and is also the most expensive. It has the extra benefit of being termite and borer resistant in addition to being extremely robust and able to survive extreme temperatures. HDHMR is the finest choice if your kitchen is subjected to moisture and rough use.

4. Particle Board

These are made of wood chips that have been pressed into large sheets using adhesive. Because the costs are relatively less expensive than MDF and plywood, when used properly, the entire cost of the furniture can be significantly decreased. Excellent low-cost option for kitchen and other furniture that won't be kept outside or exposed to a lot of moisture.

5. PVC

PVC is one of the most economical materials for kitchen cabinets since it is easy to maintain and clean. There are now two types of PVC boards for kitchens: hollow boards and foam. The latter is lighter and more affordable while the former is heavier and more robust. PVC kitchens have a variety of colors and are easy to install as their main advantage.
