Kitchen Cabinets cores are constructed primarily out different plywood options. When discussing plywood, several different types of board can be referenced, including Particle Board, MDF, and Veneer Core. At Coordinated Kitchen & Bath we have created a rough outline of three different plywood options.
Particle Board uses the coarsest wood out of the three options; it is formed out of adhesives, fibers, and wood shavings/chips. Particle board is often overlooked for Kitchen Cabinet use in relation to MDF and Veneer Core due to its surface and edges being not as durable, smooth, and consistent.
Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF) is made from fine wood fibers that are glued and compressed together under great pressure. The material is stable, consistent, and durable. Because MDF is made from compressed wood fibers to the area under the veneer is often very stable, this results in better veneer consistency and durability for your Kitchen Cabinets.
Veneer Core Plywood is more from three (or more) layers of wood veneer. The veneer consists of cross-layered pieces which are then bonded together through an adhesive. Due to the construction process veneer is very stable and resists cracking and warping. It is the most durable out of the three materials.
