Are you remodeling your kitchen? Do you have all of the materials handled that you will need to install cabinetry? Do you know what type of material you will use to create your cabinetry? The cabinetry of a kitchen can really enhance the style of the room. While solid wood cabinets may be popular and seemingly the best option, you may discover that you have to re-ask yourself these questions. It is important to consider all materials before choosing one to install cabinets. Medium density fiberboard can serve as an alternative to solid wood cabinetry.
Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)
Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is a material that can arguably perform even better than solid wood cabinetry. It is also eco-friendly as it is created from recycled fibers from wood. It is dried with a machine and pressed in order to make sheets of the material.
Not only is MDF made from recycled materials, but it is also more stable than wood. It can also handle humidity and heat better when compared to solid wood. Fluctuating temperatures could cause solid wood troubles, resulting in a need for care of the cabinetry.
MDF, a material made of processed fibers from wood provides a unique method of construction. It can be ground by machinery operated by computers into singular frames that have their centers cut out. This is where a recessed panel can be placed. MDF’s density does not allow it to move from the frame itself. This can cause cracks to not form as easily in the cabinets.
Solid Wood
There can be many benefits of solid wood. It is a very strong material, and it is quite sturdy. The various grains allow you to choose your own unique cabinetry. Though unlike MDF, solid wood may change or be damaged if it experiences humidity and heat. The wood can crack and shrink.
