Are you still struggling to choose the right cabinet panel material?
When renovating or renovating a space, choosing the right cabinet panels is often a key challenge for many people. This is especially true in the kitchen, a core area of the home subject to heavy oil, dirt, and high humidity. The fumes and water stains generated by daily food and beverage preparation can cling to the cabinet surfaces, making them difficult to clean. Over time, these stains can erode the cabinets’ original quality and create a stale, cluttered appearance.
- Wood
Although they possess a natural texture and feel, exposure to high temperatures and humidity can directly damage the wood’s structure. In the short term, they can easily expand and deform, causing doors to open and close with difficulty. Long-term use can even lead to mold growth and rot, which not only affects aesthetics but can also pose health risks.
- Marble
As a high-end material, they are not only expensive to purchase but also require a professional team to cut and splice them, resulting in a long and costly installation process. Furthermore, marble is brittle and prone to cracking from heavy impacts or sudden temperature changes. Its porous surface makes it difficult to thoroughly clean once oil and pigment penetrate, leaving permanent stains.
- Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is marketed as durable and easy to clean, but it can easily become scratched with careless daily use. Over time, the surface loses its smooth texture and gradually becomes mottled, giving it a “cheap” feel that’s out of step with the aesthetic demands of modern homes.
New Cabinet Panels – PET Foam Core Sandwich Panels
As the cabinet industry’s multi-dimensional demands for performance, durability and cost increase, more and more manufacturers are beginning to favor composite panels with PET foam as the core material. In response to this trend, TOPOLO has developed PET foam composite panels for cabinets.
The great advantages of PET foam core cabinet panels
☑ Human Health
PET foam poses virtually no negative impact on human health: it is odorless, non-volatile, and does not release harmful substances, meeting strict safety standards such as food-contact grade and indoor environmental protection grade.
☑ Durability
PET foam offers a moderate level of hardness and elasticity, ensuring long-term structural stability as a core material for cabinet panels. It is non-absorbent and mold-resistant, and even in humid environments like bathrooms and balcony laundry areas, PET foam cabinet panels will not expand or deform.
☑ Environmental Protection
The PET foam core is a recyclable and environmentally friendly material. Discarded PET foam can be crushed and melted into pellets for reuse in the production of PET products, such as foam, fibers, and packaging bottles. This recycling process consumes little energy and generates minimal pollution.”
☑ Easy to Process
The high hardness allows PET foam to be sawed, drilled, and milled like wood, and it also has strong nail-holding properties, ensuring cabinet door hinges and handles are securely installed and resist loosening. Custom thicknesses and sizes are available.
Diverse Surface Options
PET foam core can be combined with a variety of surface materials to create cabinet panels with diverse functions, such as PVC facing, HPL plywood facing, and HPL medium-density fiberboard facing. These facings offer excellent water and oil resistance, requiring only a damp cloth for daily cleaning.
