WHAT ARE MELAMINE KITCHEN CABINETS?

Melamine is a synthetic material that's composed of different things, including wood particles, glue, resins and even paper. Having a paper and resin finish means that melamine kitchen cabinets are available in a wide variety of styles and colors. The colors they come in are usually solids, or come in multiple shades of faux wood grains.

Pros of melamine cabinets

1. Durability

Melamine cabinets are resistant to many of the common issues presented in a kitchen, whether it be excessive moisture, heat or stains.

The reason why melamine can resist these external elements is because of its tough outer coating.

This coating is also easy to clean.

2. A large variety

Because melamine is a synthetic material, it can be produced with an almost endless number of finishes. You can select from faux wood grains in various shades or solid colours. And this means you can choose black melamine cabinets, white melamine cabinets, yellowed melamine cabinets or grey melamine kitchen cabinets.

With this level of choice, you can find melamine kitchen cabinets design that perfectly matches for your kitchen's style.

3. A uniform finish

Unlike solid wood that can vary in grain patterns and colour, even within the same order, melamine offers a consistent finish since it is manufactured in a controlled setting.

4. Low cost

Compared to solid wood cabinets, melamine cabinets are offered at a much lower price point. High quality melamine cupboards with nice prices makes good cost-effectiveness!

Cons of melamine cabinets

1. Melamine can chip

Although the outside resin coating is durable, it can be prone to chipping.

Chips will leave the internal wood particle core exposed, and this can be very unattractive.

Also, if your cabinets do chip, it can be expensive to have them refinished.

2. Melamine can be harder to install

Because of the nature of their construction, melamine cabinets might not pair well with nails and screws. If used improperly, nails and screws can cause the melamine to splinter.

For this reason, having a professional installation team can be beneficial.

3. Melamine is susceptible to water damage

If the wood particle core of the cabinets gets saturated with water, it can compromise their structural integrity.

Water can be absorbed into this material more easily than solid wood, so you should be aware of this when installing cabinets next to your sink.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
