Our Buyer's Guide to the Different Types of Kitchen Materials.
Within this website page, we have prepared several linked pages for you which discuss the various attributes of the different materials used in modern Kitchen cabinetry. Within these, we discuss the various attributes, their benefits, disadvantages and their limitations where we hope these help you with your selection process.
In these modern times we are clearly spoilt by the huge range of cabinetry materials available for your new Kitchen Renovation. Different Kitchen Styles can sometimes work best with specific types of material and so it can often be helpful to first decide on the Kitchen Style you want to use. Our Projects pages may be able to help you with your Style selection.
When deciding what Materials to use for your Kitchen, selecting the type of doors and panel material is usually a good place to start and then following this by choosing your Benchtop material, followed by Wall / Splashback and Floor finishes. Once you have chosen your material types, it is then time to select the colours, patterns, and surface finishes available for these material types so to compliment the overall look.
These page links below explain the attributes of different kitchen material types, starting with door and panel materials, and then move on down to include Benchtop Material options and then to Splash-Backs, where we hope you find this information helpful.
We present these in order, beginning with the less expensive material types and moving through to the more high-end Kitchen material types available, where these different material types should also strongly tie back into your Kitchen's Style. At the bottom of this page, we have also included several links to some of the leading manufacturers of Decorative Face Materials & Benchtop Materials where you can go to see their colour ranges, patterns, and finishes. We have also included here links to Kitchen Hardware Fittings, Handle Designs and then below this links to key Appliance Manufacturers in a wide range of Quality, Features & Price-Points. With these all in one place, we hope that you will find these really helpful. We have also prepared here a website page being the link called Design & Colour which is dedicated to helping you with your colour selections.
