Cabinet Material
All our cabinet interiors are made from Melamine pre-finished on 16mm MDF board - generally gloss white. Cabinet backs are also from Melamine pre-finished on 16mm MDF board for strength and consistency. We use MDF (Medium density fibreboard) as opposed to particle board for its superior finish and strength.
All visible edges are fitted with 1mm PVC edgetape (cabinets can also be made from a specific colour to give the kitchen extra uniqueness). The high quality of materials we use ensures your cabinets will last for years to come.

Lacquer2-pack paint finish applied to bare 18mm MDF. This option allows you to design a kitchen in any paint colour you desire (usually with a satin finish). Lacquer allows more freedom with design, be it a modern minimalist look or a country style kitchen. |
Timberfor the traditional look timber kitchens can be crafted using Arborline timber cabinet doors. Choose from a vast range of door styles and designs in a variety of timbers. |
If you wish you can also specify glass or aluminum doors. Toe kick materials may also be specified (e.g. the same as existing door style or laminate with aluminum for contrast). Different materials combinations are certainly a possibility and we are happy to advise you on this.
