PRESSBOARD OR PLYWOOD???
When choosing new kitchen cabinets, you should consider the cabinet materials. In general, cabinet boxes are made of pressboard or plywood. Neither is a superior material, rather it is often based on your preference. How do you know which is best for your kitchen??
PRESSBOARD CABINETS
Pressboard is the cheapest cabinet material option. The low price point is its most attractive feature. Pressboard is made by adhering wood chips together with glue and covering it with a veneer. The material is more sensitive to moisture and less durable.?
PLYWOOD CABINETS
A?more durable option than pressboard, plywood?is made?from?multiple?layers of compressed and veneered wood. This material is more water-resistant and stands up well to heavy use. Plywood is also much easier to assemble and install.?However, it is a more expensive option than pressboard.
