It should be strong and long-lasting, and resistant to water, heat and smoke.<\/p>\n<p>The outer carcass provides the overall look and design of the cabinet. This consists of the sides of the cabinet, as well as the cabinet fronts (before they are covered by the kitchen cabinet doors).

If you ask for cheap kitchen cabinets, your contractor will most likely go with melamine chipboard.<\/p>\n<p>This is also the primary material that IKEA kitchen cabinets (the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/my\/en\/catalog\/categories\/departments\/kitchen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">METOD base cabinet frames<\/a>) are made from.<\/p>\n<p>Melamine chipboard is commonly used to build the kitchen cabinet carcasses, frames, and doors. They come in a range of colours, but the most common (and cheapest) comes in solid white. This is the reason why the insides of kitchen cabinets are usually white.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_melamine_chipboard_is_made\"><\/span><strong>How melamine chipboard is made<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The chipboard core (also known as particleboard) is made of wood chips, soaked and bonded by a synthetic resin and compressed by heat and pressure to form boards.<\/p>\n<p>The top and bottom coloured layer is made by soaking a sheet of coloured paper in a melamine resin, or liquid plastic. This sheet is cured under heat and pressure, and glued and pressed onto the chipboard core under low pressure. The coloured paper is what determines the look of your cabinet, and also protects the wood chips from water.<\/p>\n<p>Each finished board comes in 6ft x 8ft sheets of between 1 \u2013 2 cm thick.<\/p>\n<p>Each board is then cut into different sizes according to your kitchen cabinet design. When the board is cut, the sides of the board will have exposed chipboard, so it needs to be covered. The normal way to do this is to cover it with a strip of ABS plastic, which is a high-pressure laminate banding that is abrasion-resistant.<\/p>\n<p><em>Video: Melamine sheets being applied to chipboard<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_melamine_chipboard\"><\/span><strong>Advantages of melamine chipboard<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Melamine creates a strong and hard surface, which is resistant to scratch, abrasion, and shock. It is also resistant to fungus, borer insects, and household chemicals. It is easy to clear and maintain but always bear in mind to wipe dry any spills, which can cause damage to such material in the long run.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weakness\"><\/span><strong>Weakness<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Chipboard is not suitable for areas with high humidity, as it tends to swell up if it comes into contact with water for an extended time.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it is protected by the melamine layer and the ABS edges, water can get to the chipboard if you leave cold things on the surface for a long time (that\u2019s why we need coasters).<\/p>\n<p>And, if the edge of the melamine starts to crack and water gets in, it will start to peel away in layers, and wood chips inside will swell up. Therefore, it is not recommended for installation near any basin.<\/p>\n<p>According to Jasper Kum from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recomn.com\/businesses\/intech-kitchen-sdn-bhd\">Intech Kitchen Sdn Bhd<\/a> (A Recommend.my kitchen planner), the number of available designs for melamine chipboards is also limited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMelamine-finishing chipboards are mass produced in fixed sets of colours and textures. That means a particular texture may only be available in a very limited number of colours,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said currently, there are only about 50 colour and design selections for melamine finishing chipboards in the market.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Price_of_melamine_kitchen_cabinets_in_Malaysia\"><\/span><strong>Price of melamine kitchen cabinets in Malaysia<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>From RM220 per foot run for wall cabinets<br \/>\nFrom RM280 per foot run for base cabinets<br \/>\nFrom RM450 per foot run for tall cabinets<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9834\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9834\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9834\" src=\"https:\/\/www.recomn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/chipboard-melamine-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"Chipboard with melamine surface\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/chipboard-melamine.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/chipboard-melamine-218x145.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/chipboard-melamine-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/chipboard-melamine-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/chipboard-melamine-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9834\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chipboard with melamine surface<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Good_balance_Plywood_with_laminate_finishing_for_outer_frame_block_board_for_inner_frame\"><\/span>Good balance: Plywood with laminate finishing for outer frame; block board for inner frame<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Melamine chipboards have low resistance to water. Therefore, kitchen specialists will suggest making the inner frames out of block board, and the outer frame with plywood laminate.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kum, the area underneath the kitchen sink is the best place to use block board. That\u2019s because water may condense under the sink (especially if you defrost frozen meat in the sink) and drip into the cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes we even recommend our customers to use aluminium doors specifically near the basin area to have better ventilation and to prevent moisture from being trapped inside the cabinet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Block board also comes with a white melamine layer by default.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the outer shell is made from laminated plywood.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_block_board_is_made\"><\/span><strong>How block board is made<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Block board is made by lining up softwood strips side by side (a bit like lining up a row of pencils) and gluing a thin layer of melamine to the top and bottom.

It is then glued together to form a hard plywood board.<\/p>\n<p>Laminated plywood is made by taking the plywood board and adding a plastic layer similar to melamine. The difference between melamine and laminate is that laminate is made of many more layers of resin impregnated paper, with a plastic-coated finishing, and cured under much higher pressure. The laminate is then glued to the plywood.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9853\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9853\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.recomn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAdNAAAAJDdhY2ExNzViLTEyNmYtNDA3Yy1hOWM5LWEwNWY3NWRhYWY4OA-864x800.jpg\" alt=\"Laminated plywood with exposed edge\" width=\"864\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAdNAAAAJDdhY2ExNzViLTEyNmYtNDA3Yy1hOWM5LWEwNWY3NWRhYWY4OA-864x800.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAdNAAAAJDdhY2ExNzViLTEyNmYtNDA3Yy1hOWM5LWEwNWY3NWRhYWY4OA-162x150.jpg 162w, https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAdNAAAAJDdhY2ExNzViLTEyNmYtNDA3Yy1hOWM5LWEwNWY3NWRhYWY4OA-324x300.jpg 324w, https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAdNAAAAJDdhY2ExNzViLTEyNmYtNDA3Yy1hOWM5LWEwNWY3NWRhYWY4OA-173x160.jpg 173w, https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAdNAAAAJDdhY2ExNzViLTEyNmYtNDA3Yy1hOWM5LWEwNWY3NWRhYWY4OA-696x644.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAdNAAAAJDdhY2ExNzViLTEyNmYtNDA3Yy1hOWM5LWEwNWY3NWRhYWY4OA.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9853\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laminated plywood with exposed edge. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/524810162800386019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_laminated_plywood\"><\/span><strong>Advantages of laminated plywood<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Block board is more water-resistant than chipboard.
