How do I know my new kitchen cabinets are made of good quality material?

In year's gone by, kitchens were made from a revolutionary new type of timber board. Called particle board it was a compressed woodchip kind of panel system. The problem with the early particleboard is that it was very weak when you screwed into it with hinges and door handles etc.

Today however technology and improvements in particleboard have come along way. The MDF kitchen cabinetry boards of today are far superior to what they used to be. Kitchen companies and cabinet makers can now rely on a strong MDF product for all the kitchen cabinetry and custom Joinery.

There is even a new MDF product which is waterproof. Waterproof MDF is brilliant for outdoor kitchens and hard-wearing wet areas within your home. Being able to hose off your outdoor cooking area and not worry about the cabinets swelling up is a huge Leap forward for kitchen cabinet makers.
