Kitchen remodels can be expensive, and one of the biggest expenses is often the kitchen cabinets. Cabinets can account for upwards of 40% of the total cost of a kitchen remodel, so it’s no wonder that many homeowners are looking for ways to save money on this purchase.

If you’re not careful, your DIY kitchen remodel could end up costing more than you planned. So, before you tackle a kitchen renovation yourself, make sure you know what you’re getting into.

Kitchen units are an essential part of any kitchen, providing both storage and a work surface. There are not many different places where kitchen units can be bought.
When choosing where to buy kitchen units, it is important to consider the quality and materials of the units as well as the price and good quality as those bought from a kitchen specialist. Similarly, kitchen units bought online may be cheaper than those bought locally, but it can be more difficult to assess the quality of the unit before purchasing if you can’t see the pre-finished product to verify the quality of materials use.
As such, it is important to weigh up all the options before making a decision on where to buy kitchen cabinets.
Kitchen cabinets are one of the most important elements in any kitchen. Not only do they provide storage for pots, pans, and other kitchen items, but they also help to define the overall look and feel of the space. In recent years, our cabinets have become increasingly popular, thanks to their affordability and versatility.
Unlike other kitchen cabinets, which are usually made from Thermofoil which are made using a flexible vinyl material that is applied by heating the vinyl and molding it over medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or engineered wood. While many homeowners install thermofoil cabinets in their kitchen due to cost , they have poor heat resistance. This means if they’re installed too close to a heat source, such as your oven, the laminate may pull away from the veneer core, and are comparable in price to other cabinet materials.
THERMOFOIL CABINETS
Cons
- Quality
The most affordable thermofoil kitchen cabinets are constructed of low-grade fiberboard beneath the vinyl coating. - Finish
Most thermofoil cabinets have a glossy, plastic-like finish that works best in severely modern settings. - Heat Damage
Thermofoil coatings are sensitive to heat and may blister or peel when used near dishwashers, ovens or stovetops. Metal heat shields used to prevent this problem are not always successful and break up the clean lines of the cabinets. - Yellowing
As the vinyl coating ages, white thermofoil cabinets sometimes develop an unattractive yellow cast.
