Hello, it’s a great day to start a project.
Melamine Cabinets
$
Melamine is a panel made up of particles, otherwise known as “chipboard”. This panel is hot pressurized with a sheet of paper loaded with resin. Colours and finishes can be used vertically, when designing the kitchen or any other project. When applying melamine to a panel, a PVC membrane is glued to the sides of the melamine panel through edge banding, thus allowing the desired colour and finish to be on all available angles.
Advantages
Vast choice of colours and finishes
Affordable and economical price
Easy to maintain
Good resistance to wear, heat, bending, light, abrasion and most chemicals
Edges in PVC
Disadvantages
- Vulnerable to scratches
- Vulnerable to water and other liquid damage
Polyester Cabinets

Polyester melamine cabinets are a blend of melamine and polyester. The center panel of the doors is made of melamine while the casements are made of MDF (medium density fibreboard) covered with a polyester film. The 5-piece shaker models and polyester finishes feature a great resemblance to wood. So, it is possible to have the appearance of wood at a lower price with polyester.

Lower resistance to heat
Vulnerable to damage from water and other liquids.
