When using natural wood, it is cut into thin layers and glued to the base. Synthetic veneer simulate not only wood, but other natural material. It is applied to the protective film that replaces the lacquer.

Melamine-coated fiberboard or particleboard, when not expected high mechanical loads. Laminate is much thicker and more durable, this materialom cover even countertops.

MDF is considered more suitable for furniture than particle Board. This material is dense and not susceptible to deformation. Well and the fact that in the production of MDF boards can be bent, giving them a nice rounded shape. Besides that the kitchen is made of MDF will cost you more than fifteen percent.

Crystal, Corian, Varicor and others are synthetic stones. They are not inferior to natural analogues, and often surpass them. More other popular Corian – a material based on acrylic resin, pigment and mineral filler. It is non-toxic and has good heat and wear resistance.
