What are Melamine Cabinets?

Melamine boards consist of a raw particleboard substrate with resin-infused decorative paper permanently fused to both sides. Heat and pressure activate the resin to effectively seal the substrate and produce cabinet doors.

Melamine boards are designed to reproduce the look and feel of realistic paint, wood grain, concrete, metals, or material designs. Cabinet doors primarily come in ⅝” or ¾” thicknesses.

What are Natural Wood Cabinets?

 

Natural wood is the most popular kitchen cabinet building material around the world. With such a wide variety of species and design options to choose from, there is an option for every taste and preference. 

 

The most popular wood species for natural wood kitchen cabinets are Maple, Birch, Cherry, Oak, and Walnut.

 

Specifically in North America, maple, oak, and birch are the most common natural woods. That’s due to the fact that they are so readily available and easy to source.

 

Walnut and cherry, on the other hand, are known as elegant, high-end cabinet materials. With rich hues, distinctive wood grains, and generally less accessible than other species, it’s no wonder walnut and cherry are considered premium wood species. 

Melamine Cabinets vs. Natural Wood Cabinets: Appearance

 

Melamine cabinets are popularly used to replicate various wood grains but they also come in solid colours and are even capable of surface and texture decor matching. In fact, most manufacturers will carry hundreds of different melamine selections from which to choose from. 

 

Solid colour melamine is not nearly as popular as the wood grain variety but they do offer a nice alternative to traditional melamine wood grain aesthetics. 

 

Solid colour melamine comes predominantly in a variety of blacks, greys, beiges and whites. Some manufacturers will offer a small amount of colourful options such as a deep blue or green. 

 

Textured melamine is the most common style of melamine cabinets. Textured melamine allows for the use of deep, congruent wood grain visuals in a man-made product. 

 

Since textured melamine are printed images, they can accurately replicate a vast amount of wood species’ grains or alternative surfaces. In fact, melamine will produce a more uniform, constant wood grain than a natural wood species. This is because hardwoods are natural materials and in turn, no two cabinets will have the exact same grain patterns. Melamine will.
