When planning a modular kitchen design, the choice of material and finish impacts cost, durability, and style. Here’s a quick guide for Indian homes:
Budget-Friendly Options
- MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard): Affordable, smooth surface for laminates or paint. Works best in dry areas.
- Plywood with Acrylic Finish: Stronger than MDF and more moisture-resistant. Acrylic gives a glossy, modern look.
Mid to Premium Options
- HDMR (High-Density Moisture Resistant Board): More durable than MDF, better suited for Indian conditions. Handles humidity and wear better.
- Glass Finishes: Adds elegance and premium style while being easy to clean. Great for overhead cabinets.
Why Materials Matter
- Durability: Plywood and HDMR handle Indian kitchens’ heat and moisture better than MDF.
- Aesthetics: Acrylic and glass finishes create sleek, reflective surfaces that brighten compact kitchens.
- Cost Control: MDF and laminates are budget-friendly, while HDMR and glass raise the look without the cost of solid wood.
Final Word
For budget-friendly modular kitchens, MDF and plywood with acrylic finishes are smart picks. For higher durability and aesthetics, HDMR with glass finishes offers a more premium solution.
