Thermofoil Kitchen Cabinets? What Do You Think?

Despite its name, thermofoil contains no metallic materials. Rather, thermofoil is a type of vinyl. Using heat, the vinyl is fused to a wooden surface, usually particleboard. The result is a kitchen cabinet with a smooth, seamless finish. Thermofoil is most often seen in white or off-white, although some manufacturers offer a variety of colors and even faux wood finishes. 

There are some thermofoil kitchen cabinet designs.

NOTICE

· Thermofoil reacts to heat, especially excessive heat generated by an oven.

· To protect your thermofoil finish, a heat shield is required on cabinetry located next to an oven.

· Prolonged exposure to tobacco smoke will discolor thermofoil finishes.
