Varieties Of Kitchen Cabinet Wood Choices For Your Exclusive Home
Hardwood is always the prime choice for manufacturing the cabinet parts
. Either it is a cabinet base, frame, panel, side or door, hardwood is a premium quality wood better for all these cabinet parts.
Though the conventional style wood cabinets are highly costly therefore most homeowners look for cabinets that contain the blend of particle board or plywood. Mixture of low quality wood cuts off the cost. The rate of the cabinet you opt with depends on the type of wood used to make it. Various kinds of wood materials are Teak, cherry, maple and oak. Solid wood or hardwood is costlier than plywood which is costlier than the particleboard. Thus particle board is the least quality wood.
The carcase of the kitchen cabinets is often made of plywood or this wood is used to make the flat panels of the cabinets that need to bend like shelves and drawers. The cabinets must be sturdy and rigid since these are the accessories used for long time while avoiding any kinds of wear and tear when they have to support heavy objects. To make the cabinets shelves highly sturdy they must be made of high quality particle board and plywood and the sturdiness increases with an increase in the thickness of the wood.
Typically the cabinet doors and frames are made of hardwood combined with lower density fiberboard or plywood or sometimes the laminated combination of these basic materials is used to manufacture the doors and frames.
The floating panel of the cabinets door may be made of solid wood incorporated with veneer plywood manufactured in edge shaped. However the cabinet panels made of particle board are once manufactured cant be given in edge shape perfectly without divulging its veneer core.
Both solid wood and plywood are durable and sturdy materials for manufacturing the RTA cabinets, but both are expensive and hardly harmonize with the particular manufacturing dimension but particle board suits with all kinds of manufacturing dimensions easily. Rather than plywood and particleboard, the solid wood is more adaptable for using kitchens since it hardly goes under strains while being used for long time and in case of damages it can be easily repaired than replacement. On the other side particleboard needs to be replaced with new piece. Moreover it is highly sensitive to water and loses it quality once comes in contact with water bodies. Thus cabinets made of sturdy wood or hard wood are more preferred.
