Kitchen fronts made of laminated chipboard: why this solution is considered the worst for the kitchen

Kitchen fronts made from laminated chipboard can attract the attention of buyers for two reasons.

As Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, explained, the attractiveness of such products is due to their low cost and pleasant appearance.

However, such designs also have negative features, which, in our opinion, outweigh the advantages: low quality and short life.

The whole point is that such facades are not able to cope with the effects of moisture, steam and temperature changes.

As a result, their service life will be short. The maximum time you can count on is no more than five years.

Therefore, we advise you not to chase cheapness, but to wait a little to order a kitchen set, the quality of which will not be questionable.

Good options are MDF in PVC film or chipboard with a plastic coating.

There is another option for those who have a limited budget and can no longer put up with the installed kitchen: you can order only the lower cabinets, replacing the upper ones with open shelves.
