Say the word “melamine”, and many home owners think of low quality, boring white cabinets suitable only for your laundry room. The truth is, melamine has come a long way. This material is a new way to achieve a durable, reasonably priced kitchen with a contemporary European style.
What Is Textured Melamine, Exactly?
Textured melamine is created by using heat and pressure. A textured resin melamine finish is thermally fused on to particleboard to create a three dimensional effect that both looks and feels like wood grain. This material is cleanable, durable, and comes in a wide range of contemporary colours and grains. This isn’t a 1970s melamine kitchen!
Keep in mind, when you order a textured melamine kitchen from Vanway Kitchen + Bath, you’re still getting premium birch cabinets and drawers. It’s just the cupboard door and drawer front that is made from textured melamine. The boxes and shelves are still be the exceptional quality you expect from Vanway Kitchen + Bath.
Save On Cabinets, Splurge On Counters
Textured melamine is one of the more economical styles of cabinet door. It provides the visual appeal of a range of wood species without the associated costs and maintenance requirements. When you save a little on your cabinetry, your budget for countertops will stretch a little further. This may allow you to upgrade to quartz countertops. Quartz is one of the most popular materials for countertops and makes a beautiful focal point if you have an island.
Vanway Kitchen + Bath has installed some local kitchens that paired textured melamine cabinets with beautiful quartz countertops. View the photos below to see how well they work together to create a modern look in your kitchen!
