Types of facades for the kitchen
Various materials are used for the production of furniture for the kitchen. It can be wood, glass, MDF, particle board, plastic or a combination thereof. All of them have advantages and disadvantages.
Depending on the design, the following types of facades for the kitchen are distinguished:
- Solid wood used for solid slab facades. It looks great in large areas. But demanding to care and expensive.
- Frame facade, characterized by practicality and low cost. It consists of a frame and a panel. Due to this, it is possible to combine several different materials.
- Frameless, made of tempered glass (triplex).
Wooden frame facades
There are a large number of material options from which it is possible to produce frame facades. The manufacturing can be carried out from one material or a combination thereof.
At all times, woodenfacades, which are relevant for today. Such elements will please the natural beauty. They create a unique coziness and warmth in the room. Most often used in classical styles.
Make a frame from an array of different types of wood. It can be pine, oak, maple and others. For panels, choose both wood and other materials (MDF, plywood and others).
Benefits:
- ecological compatibility;
- security;
- a solid and "expensive" appearance;
- practicality, tolerance of humidity and various temperatures;
- resistance to mechanical stress.
The disadvantages are high cost and the process of drying (swelling).
Frame facades from MDF
MDF - a plate made of wood fibers, pressed under high pressure and temperature. The details of MDF differ in the following ways:
- strength;
- functionality;
- practicality;

- Do not shrink and do not expand.
To obtain facades, MDF boards are faced with different methods. This can be painting, veneering, PVC film or plastic.
Painted facades
The painted frame facade of MDF differs:
- a variety of colors and textures (matte, glossy, metallic and others);
- the possibility of manufacturing various forms (wave, arc, etc.);
- resistant to changes in temperature and humidity (for example, heated steam).
Among the shortcomings can be identified the possibilitycolor burnout in the sun, susceptibility to mechanical damage, complexity during restoration. In addition, fingerprints remain on the surface during use.
Film facades
Frame facade made of MDF, covered with PVC film,easy to manufacture. And, accordingly, the price for it is lower. The film is fixed to the plate with special glue under the press. The main advantages of this type of elements:
- affordable price;
- a variety of colors, embossments and textures;
- resistance to chemical detergents;
- durability;
- resistance to mechanical damage;
- simplicity of care.
This species also has its drawbacks. It does not withstand high temperatures (at temperatures above 70 degrees, the film can peel off). Because of this, there may be difficulties during the restoration.
Frame facades made of aluminum
Aluminum frame facades are often made in combination with glass. But this is optional. Other fillers may be used.
Facades with aluminum frames have the following advantages:
- strength;
- resistance to moisture and temperature;
- wear resistance;
- long service life;
- metal can be painted in any color;
- the possibility of using different materials for filling.
Like all elements, this species also has its drawbacks:
- mechanical damage is clearly visible;
- impossibility of self-repair;
- for the manufacture of fasteners and handles only certain types.
The frame facade can be selected for any kitchen and at any cost. Even inexpensive elements will please the eye and will not last more than one year.
