Mismeasurements can be a reason for money wasting. If you are not sure about your measurements, always ask your cabinet door supplier.

Precision is important, so ensure that your supplier has the right measurements of the product you need whether they are cabinet doors, solid wood drawers, textured melamine panels, shaker doors, custom cabinets etc. We want to make sure that you are happy with the end result!

Cabinet Door Materials

There are tons of options available for cabinet doors. Cabinet doors can be made out of solid wood, such as maple, walnut or oak. Wood doors are mostly used for traditional style cabinets.

Our textured melamine and high gloss finishes are great options for modern cabinet doors.

For a better understanding of what is right for you, let's have a look at the materials from which cabinet doors can be made:

Core:

• Particle Board (chipboard) - the most reliable and affordable core material in furniture production. Particle board is produced by pressing together wood shavings, sawdust, and resin. It is treated with a special product to make it water and fire-resistant. Used as the core for sheet goods.
•  Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) – engineered sheet material consisting of wood fibres, wax and resin pressed at high temperature and pressure. This material is stronger and more durable than chipboard. It can be used as a core material or used alone to make MDF doors that can be lacquered.
•  Melamine - one of the most common materials used to manufacture cabinet boxes and cabinet doors. Melamine doors are a popular choice amongst customers due to their durability, sleek appearance, and easy maintenance. This product can easily be cleaned with soapy water and a cloth.
• Plywood - tightly pressed veneer sheets commonly used in furniture production. Plywood is a popular material used to make cabinet boxes in traditional style kitchens.

 

Panels and Doors:

• Textured Melamine – one of the most popular and affordable materials used to manufacture cabinet doors. Textured melamine is available in tons of colours and textures. Wood or stone textures can mimic the look of the real wood or stone it can even be hard to recognize a difference from a distance.
• Acrylic – also known as high gloss. This is a very popular option for modern style cabinets. Acrylic cabinet doors will not fade under the influence of ultraviolet and will not lose their glossy finish over time.
• Glass - glass has been used in the manufacture of furniture for an incredibly long time. Glass doors can make your room visually larger as well as add style and allow you to display your decorative table and glassware.
•  Matte – a very good alternative to slab painted MDF. Available in many solid colours. Matte doors have a smooth and silky finish to the touch.
• Solid Wood Doors - made of 5 pieces (4 solid pieces for the frame and a flat or raised central panel). Maple, Oak, and Walnut are the most popular wood species and can be stained in light, medium, or dark colours, which makes the wood grain and texture to show its beauty.
