MARICH INC
Cabinets significantly impact your kitchen’s theme and overall look; it is essential to choose the right cabinets within the budget, theme, and material. Cabinets give your kitchen a new look and provide excellent storage for grocery and kitchen appliances. Whether you’re remodeling your complete kitchen or only looking to reface or resurface the current cabinets, you must choose the best kitchen regarding both reliability and style.
Types of Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets can be customized, or you can get premade ones based on your requirements, but there are some cabinet materials you must know before making your final decision.
Plywood
Plywood is really famous for cabinets, and you must have seen cabinets commonly made of plywood. This material is low-cost and gives your kitchen a clean and classy look. Plywood is usually covered with other thin layer material, including plastic laminate, wood veneer, or thermofoil for the outer coating.
This material has amazing durability, so don’t worry if you are habitual of slamming or bumping into your kitchen cabinets because, in both cases, your cabinets will stay safe. These cabinets will stay more durable when combined with veneer. They’re also less likely to stain or get damaged with moisture as compared to other ordinary materials. Plywood is one of the environmental options as it uses less wood than solid wood furniture and products.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel cabinets are pretty common in the professional kitchen. The pre-made stainless steel cabinets are easy to assemble, but you can also get them customized according to the space you have. These cabinets are durable and a good choice for moisturized places.
Stainless steel cabinets have a higher resistance to corrosion in humid environments and climates. It is resistant to heat and has a nonporous surface which means you do not have to worry about fungus and bacteria. This material is also safe for the environment, and you can use it for the long term based on your requirements. Stainless steel cabinets are great for storage, and they are easy to clean as well.
Polyester
Polyester cabinets are usually made of blended melamine with pine fiber and then coated with a polyester film. Polyester is more scratch resistant, and you can choose the desired style and color from different options.
One of the best advantages of polyester is it is less likely to get discolor, unlike wood. This material can be a little expensive compared to some other materials but you are not going to regret it in terms of quality and investment. Polyester is durable and can be maintained for prolonged use with proper care. However, these cabinets are difficult to get retouched or repair.
Other
Some of the other materials for cabinets include medium-density fiberboard, high gloss thermofoil, high-pressure laminate, and others.
Kitchen Cabinet Lighting
Good lighting can have a great impact on the ambiance of your overall kitchen. The lights under or inside the cabinets add a lot of life and aesthetics to your kitchen. You can install two types of cabinet lighting to enhance the look of your kitchen.
Lights Under Cabinets
Adding lights under the cabinets is a popular choice for many people. You can install the lights in many ways under the cabinets, such as LED strips or different LED lights. Under-cabinet lighting adds a seamless and clean look to the cabinets, and it also stays hidden. You can also add a dimmer to the LED lights to increase or dim the intensity to set the ambiance.
Lights Inside Cabinets
Adding lighting inside the cabinets is a great way to enhance or highlight some of the items or props of your kitchen. There are many different ideas for installing the lights inside the cabinets, and you can also find variations of the different lights. You can take LED lights or strips for the desired look because they are energy efficient and have a long time span.
How do I choose the right cabinet for my kitchen?
While choosing the suitable material or pre-made cabinets for your kitchen, try analyzing the budget, theme, and style you’re looking for. There are many budget-friendly options for cabinet materials that can help you reface or remake your cabinets in a more modern and aesthetic way. You should choose a material that is resistant to moisture, scratches, and stains. Also, make sure to match the cabinets with the theme of your overall kitchen. For example, you can match the cabinets with the countertop, shelves, or kitchen island.
How do I maintain my kitchen cabinets?
Quality cabinets require frequent cleaning to avoid grease, damage, and stains. It is very important that you keep the cabinets clean and polish them often to maintain them like new ones. If your cabinets have grime, the best solution is to use baking soda with water and scrub the spot until it gets completely clean, and then you can rinse it with water. Using dishwashing soap for the cabinets is a great option for regular cleaning, and you should always avoid using harsh chemical products on the cabinets.
