Popular Picks
Wood
Wood has that natural warmth that never really goes out of style. It suits classic and rustic kitchens really well.
The catch? It costs more and needs looking after. In humid places, wood can warp or crack, and scratches show up easily.
Stainless Steel
Steel is tough and practical. It handles heat, water, and daily messes without much trouble, and it wipes clean quickly. Great if you’re into modern or industrial looks.
The downside is price, plus the fact that fingerprints and water spots are very visible, so you’ll probably be cleaning it more than you’d like.
Glass
Glass doors brighten a space and make it feel bigger. Tempered glass is safe, and frosted or semi-clear styles add a clean, modern touch.
On the flip side, glass can scratch or break, so you need to treat it with a bit more care.
Engineered Boards
These materials combine different components to offer a wider range of options, particularly for those with specific budget or functional requirements.
- MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard)
Smooth and perfect for a flawless painted finish. The big catch? It’s not moisture-resistant. If it gets wet, especially near the sink or stove, it will swell and warp. - Melamine Faced Chipboard (MFC)
An excellent budget-friendly choice with a huge variety of colors and textures. It’s easy to clean, but its durability is only as good as its edge banding. Poorly sealed edges will let moisture in. - Thermoformed Doors
Made by heat-pressing a PVC film over an MDF base, these are seamless and highly water-resistant. The downside? They don’t handle high heat well and can delaminate or peel near a stove. - 2 Pac Polyurethane (Painted Finish)
This is a premium finish. It’s a two-part paint that results in a smooth, mirror-like surface with no seams. It’s highly resistant to chemical corrosion, but it’s expensive and difficult to repair if chipped.

How to Choose the Right Cabinet Doors for You
Choosing the perfect China kitchen cabinet supplier is a big step, so don’t rush it. First, determine your budget, as this is the most important factor. Prices generally go from low to high: Melamine → MDF → Thermoformed → Wood/Stainless Steel.
Next, assess your lifestyle. Do you cook a lot? Does your kitchen get humid? For high-moisture or high-traffic kitchens, durable, moisture-resistant materials like stainless steel or thermoformed doors are your best bet.
Finally, match your choice to your style. For modern kitchens, go with high-gloss 2 Pac finishes, sleek glass, or stainless steel. For a traditional or country feel, the classic warmth of real wood is perfect. And for an industrial look, the raw, rugged appeal of stainless steel or matte laminates is ideal.
Common Myths & Pro Tips to Avoid Pitfalls
- Myth #1: “Engineered materials are not eco-friendly.” Many modern engineered boards meet strict environmental standards. Look for reputable brands with certifications.
- Myth #2: “High-gloss finishes show every fingerprint.” Good quality high-gloss finishes, like 2 Pac, are often designed with anti-fingerprint and easy-to-clean properties.
- Pro Tip: Avoid using heat-sensitive materials like thermoformed or PVC doors near stoves, ovens, or other heat sources. They will warp.
