1. Stainless steel kitchen cabinets

Stainless steel kitchen cabinets give a modern vibe with a hard and smooth surface for easy cleaning. However, its production process is complicated and the cost is high, so it is used less and less in the market.

2. Composite multi-layer solid wood

Composite multi-layer solid wood is suitable for families that have high requirements for environmental protection, practicability and long service life, and can be selected by families that are economical. Composite multi-layer solid wood kitchen cabinets can be used in heavily humid environments.

3. Moisture-proof board

It can be used in a heavily humid environment. Since the surface of the moisture-proof board is more brittle, it has higher requirements on production equipment. After the wall of the new house is decorated and painted, there will be a small amount of moisture on the wall. After the whole kitchen cabinet is installed, there is no ventilation, and the back panel of the kitchen cabinet needs a board with better moisture resistance. The moisture-proof board has long wood fibers and moisture-proof agent, and it will not expand after soaking to a certain extent. Therefore, most kitchen cabinets choose moisture-proof board as the cabinet material.

4. Particleboard

The fresh wood is beaten into coarse fibers, and then heat-pressed at high temperature. Breaking wood into particleboard is because it is easy to crack when directly used solid wood, and particleboard is not easy to crack and deform. Compared with moisture-proof board, the moisture resistance of particleboard is much worse, and the moisture-proof agent is missing. If it is in a humid environment for a long time, the wood is prone to mildew and decay. Therefore, it is recommended that when purchasing kitchen cabinets, it is best not to buy kitchen cabinets made of this material. When purchasing, you must ask the merchant clearly to avoid unnecessary losses and troubles.

5. Ecological board

The ecological board is a large core board or a sandwich board with a melamine surface. It is a plywood with a solid wood core. The logs are cut into strips, spliced ​​into cores, and processed with external veneer materials. There are two layers of outer veneer, and the middle is spliced ​​with wooden blocks. The base material of the ecological board is basically free from force, and it is easy to break and deform.

6. Blockboard

The wood is processed by a saw planer into wooden strips of the same specification, and then glued together to form a core board, and then glued on the front and back sides of the veneer, which is a blockboard product. The block board has a large format, is easy to saw, and has strong toughness, strong bearing capacity, and is not easy to crack. The board itself has moisture-proof performance. But it is prone to delamination and bending deformation

7. Pvc board

The blister kitchen cabinet is formed by a seamless PVC film, which has the characteristics of waterproof and moisture-proof, and is suitable for the humid environment of the kitchen, but it cannot withstand high temperature and is prone to deformation, so you can consider it when purchasing.

8. MDF

It is made of wood powder and has good flatness. It is suitable for milling and molding. It is usually used for molding door panels, such as baking paint and molding (blister). The MDF material is softer, and it is not easy to burst the edge during edge sealing, and it is easier to process. However, since the raw material of MDF is wood powder, the moisture-proof performance is poor, and it will expand and deform when exposed to water.
