Cabinet Furniture

Thermofoil cabinet doors are by far the best choice for your kitchen cabinets. Traditional five piece hardwood cabinet doors, at a much higher price, are undoubtedly quite beautiful. Unfortunately, wood doors can quickly lose their appeal due to the results of natural expansion and contraction that cause unsightly cracks to appear. A second problem with wood doors is the possibility of undesirable changes in color to occur in the individual pieces used to make each door. Poor workmanship or the use of low quality wood can turn a beautiful cabinet door into a nightmare of mismatched pieces.

Thermofoil cabinet doors look like expensive hardwood doors, but last years longer without changing color or cracking. These laminated doors are easy to clean and maintain their original luster long after wood doors are showing the results of wear and tear. If you plan on using your kitchen for something other than a showpiece, or you happen to have a horde of children running through your home on a daily basis, you will be extremely glad that you chose thermofoil doors. With an abundance of stains, grains and colors to choose from, thermofoil cabinet doors can meet the demands of a busy family while remaining beautiful and functional. No matter what style you prefer, there is a thermofoil door that will fit right in and enhance the décor of your kitchen.

In the last few years, tremendous strides have taken place in the area of laminates. Thermofoil doors are now withstanding higher prolonged temperatures and higher humidity, without peeling or discoloration; many companies now offer up to a five year warranty against yellowing and separation. This is their guarantee that they stand behind the improvements that have been accomplished in thermofoil doors. With a five year warranty you can rest assured that your cabinet doors will be replaced if they do not fulfill their expectations.
As newer technology continues to improve the longevity of MDF cabinet doors, standardization of color and stains is also seeing vast improvements. This means it will be easier to match your door color five or ten years from now; no more replacing an entire kitchen full of cabinet doors because one door needed to be replaced. This is, by far the most important improvement in laminate technology.

When deciding on the perfect cabinet doors for a new or re-modeled kitchen, choosing thermofoil cabinet doors is the best choice you can make. While thermofoil is more expensive than plain fiberboard and less expensive than hardwood doors, it is still the best value, dollar for dollar, that you can find to meet your needs and continue to remain beautiful for years to come.
