Have you already defined the style you want? Then it's time to choose between the best materials for kitchen units.
Do you want to make just a small makeover? The kitchen furniture shares very standardized melamine modules in which only the doors you choose change.
If you still don't know how to start choosing, this is the guide you were looking for.
Why is it so important to choose materials for kitchen modules? Well, because it has to do with durability, aesthetics and price. In addition, it must be easy to clean and maintain, since it is a daily work site where vapors and temperature changes are normal.
Kitchen furniture takes up most of this area and is responsible for the style you will give to the heart of the house. Furthermore, the choice of material will determine how long they will last and how successful your investment was.
In this blog, we will explain to you, based on our experience, which are the best materials for a kitchen and when to apply them.
Material 1: Laminate
These are chipboard boards covered by a decorative sheet of different compositions, which forms a pore-free surface.
In addition, you have them in an infinite number of decorations, increasingly more realistic. The latest synthetic laminate designs reproduce any material with complete fidelity, including wood, metal and even a stone as trendy as marble.
To take into account: all of them have PVC edges around them (except the polylaminated ones), an element that can detract from their good appearance, especially in light colors.
The advantages of this material are that they all have a very modern appearance, very good resistance and durability, they are also easy to clean and affordable, which is why we recommend it.
Material 2: Lacquered
These are MDF boards to which a colored lacquer is applied to both sides and the edges. They are available in a wide range of shades.
As for its finishes, you can choose mattes, glosses, satin and texture. As alternatives, high gloss and anti-fingerprint silk touch. One of the advantages that lacquered furniture offers is that it can be finished in any color, including the exact shade of the paint you have chosen for the walls.
To take into account: The laborious process makes these furniture more expensive, which are generally made of a chipboard, resistant to humidity, and are more delicate to clean than the common materials for kitchen furniture based on synthetics.
Material 3: Wood
Wood is considered one of the best materials for kitchen modular or all types. And, it can be applied to both a modern kitchen and a classic or rustic one.
The solid wood frames are contemporary models if they do not have decorations, while the classic and Rustic ones usually have moldings or decorations.
In any case, the color can be natural or tinted in various shades, even colored. And the matte or glossy finish, open pore, stripped or aged.
