If you’re a home contractor who works on kitchen or bathroom remodeling projects, one of the easiest ways to enhance the look and feel is to install durable and aesthetically pleasing cabinets. However, there are a variety of material options out there, so helping your clients choose bathroom or kitchen cabinets can be challenging. Here’s what you need to know. 

What Are the Best Materials for Kitchen & Bathroom Cabinets? 

1. Hardwood

As a highly durable option, hardwood cabinets are designed to last for years—if not decades. Plus, this material hasn’t gone out of style, and it may not for a long time.

There are many types of wood to choose from, including cherry and oak. The former has a timeless feel and works well in darker kitchens, while the latter has a more old-time look; however, modern finishes have made this choice popular in recent years. 

2. Laminate

If a client is looking for a sleek and contemporary look, recommend laminate cabinets. This material is man-made and is primarily formed from compressed wood, making it strong and long-lasting. There are two types of varieties: high-pressure and low-pressure. The former is more durable and higher-quality, while the latter is more inexpensive. 

Laminate comes in many colors and patterns, including marble and oak, which is why it’s becoming increasingly popular. Finally, it can handle heavy use, is easy to install, and won’t change colors due to UV-exposure.  

3. MDF

If a client wants the look of wood, but they’re environmentally and price-conscious, this material is an excellent option. It’s made from recycled wood, like sawmill shavings or reclaimed wood. In addition to being lightweight, it’s durable and high-quality.

Additionally, MDF has a smooth look, as it has a slick and hard surface. Because of how flat the surface is, it’s easy to refinish it, so your client can give their kitchen a new look every few years.
