What are the Features of Chipboard and Mdflam Kitchen Cabinets?

With the developing technology, many kitchen cabinet models have emerged, but old-style kitchen cabinets such as chipboard are still used. Chipboard and Mdflam kitchen cabinet models are the number one for those who like old-style kitchen cabinets and those who want to arrange kitchen cabinets cheaply. Chipboard is a cheaper type of kitchen cabinet than Mdflam, but it is not preferred by everyone because of its classic appearance. Mdflam, on the other hand, is among the most preferred kitchen cabinets due to its modern appearance and cheapness. Let’s first examine what chipboard is.
What is chipboard?
The building material of chipboard is sawdust and glue. In the past, chipboard materials were attached to each other thanks to adhesives, but today its durability is increased by many different chemicals. Since the building material of the chipboard is sawdust, voids may occur after it is produced. This is a big disadvantage. Chipboard is a material that is very resistant to hard impacts. However, if it is produced in accordance with its recipe, it is very high quality and durable. Chipboard is formed by laminated coating of chipboard material. In this way, chipboard is much more durable than chipboard and is highly resistant to moisture. Recently, my chipboard has improved itself considerably in terms of quality and approached MDF. However, when furniture produced with chipboard is kept in damp and damp areas, deterioration occurs over time. For this reason, make sure that the area where you will place your cabinet is not damp! Chipboard furniture is used not only in the kitchen cabinet, but also in furniture such as wardrobe, bedstead, dresser, bedroom or baby-child room.

The main material of MDF is obtained by pressing wood dust and glue with chemical substances. It is a very solid material as it consists of dust inside. With the ever-developing technology, new chemicals have been added to its content and its durability has been increased. The already solid mdf is made more durable thanks to mdflam. Of course, following the prescription is also important for mdflam. Some mdflam products produced without following the prescription may be more durable than chipboard. Mdflam products are generally used in furniture that needs to be solid. For example; It is frequently used in areas such as wardrobe doors, bathroom cabinets, kitchen cabinets (generally used in cabinet doors because it is used frequently). It is also used in places where humidity is high, with peace of mind.
Features of Chipboard and Mdflam Kitchen Cabinets

Quality and Durability: Although mdflam is of higher quality in terms of quality and durability, there is no inferiority in chipboard. The chemicals used in its structure increase the durability of the products.
Moisture: Generally speaking, both Chipboard and Mdflam are resistant to moisture and humidity. However, if we compare between the two, Chipboard is normally not moisture and humidity resistant.

Deterioration: If chipboard is produced without following the recipe during the production phase, it deforms in a short time and its structure deteriorates. Although the recipe of MDF is not paid attention to, it is of a kind that will not easily spoil because it contains wood dust.
Lightness: Particleboard materials are much lighter than MDF in terms of structure. This material provides both advantages and disadvantages. Due to its lightness, it is easy to carry and much easier to use. However, it is a material that is very resistant to hard impacts and difficult to repair.
Swelling: Chipboard and mdflam furniture are also used a lot in bathroom cabinets. For this reason, it is very important that it is water resistant. Under normal conditions, while the two furnitures are water resistant, if the edge bands of the chipboard furniture are removed, they may swell and swell if they come into contact with water.

If it is produced in accordance with the standards, the glue is not harmful to health. We know that sawdust and wood dust are also not harmful, that is, there is no element that threatens our health in chipboard and mdflam.
