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.

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.
