Choosing the option of finishing the kitchen space, as well as the color and design of the facades of cabinet furniture, each owner decides which kitchen is better for him: plastic or MDF. Both materials have much in common, they have good performance characteristics.
Similarities of materials
The technological processes of production of both types of kitchens are similar. As a basis for kitchen from MDF MDF-plate is used, which is then trimmed with a melamine film of the required color. The basis of another type is a chipboard, with a layer of plastic applied on top. Both types are environmentally friendly, do not burn out in the sun and are capable of serving for a very long time when used properly. They do not require a special washing method and can have exactly the color and design that you want.
Differences
And now, let's take a closer look at the differences that affect what is better for the facade for the kitchen: plastic or MDF. The thickness of the material is of fundamental importance. When buying a kitchen, please note that the plastic facades should be at least 18 mm in thickness, and the facades of MDF - not less than 16 mm. This will make it possible to purchase truly high-quality equipment.
Material for the kitchen plastic is more susceptible to scratches, and MDF worse tolerates the effects of high humidity and high temperatures. However, this defect can be eliminated by purchasing a kitchen from a special kind of moisture-resistant MDF. Plastic is not afraid of not elevated temperature, no water vapor, no moisture. It does not deform with time.
When deciding which kitchen is best to choose: MDF or plastic, it is also worth considering that the film applied to the MDF surface of the board can peel off at the joints and corners during operation.
