Cabinets

Solid Wood: Offers natural beauty and strength. Common choices include maple, oak, and cherry. However, solid wood can be susceptible to moisture and temperature changes.

Plywood: Composed of layered wood veneers, plywood is strong and resists warping. It's often used for cabinet boxes due to its stability.

Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF): Made from wood fibers and resin, MDF provides a smooth surface ideal for painted finishes. It's cost-effective but less resistant to moisture compared to plywood.

Particleboard: An economical option made from compressed wood particles. While affordable, it's less durable and more prone to damage from moisture.

Thermofoil: A vinyl laminate applied to MDF, offering a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. It's available in various colors and patterns but can be sensitive to heat.

Laminate: Consists of layers of paper or fabric impregnated with resin, bonded to particleboard or MDF. Laminate is durable and comes in many designs but may chip over time.

Melamine: A type of laminate that's applied to particleboard, offering a hard, durable surface. It's resistant to scratches and stains but can be heavy.
