What material are the cabinets on the left made of?

Asked by squirbel (4297points) August 6th, 2012 from iPhone

I would like to replicate the design in my own home, but I need to know the material. Thank you!

Possibly MDF or a laminate. If it’s MDF it probably is finished with two pack paint (spray paint with a hardener).

Here’s the architect’s take on it.

No real details for materials other than they are custom and milled. Typical laminate may be the cheapest way to get close, but these seem shinier so I’d suspect they custom cut something else to fit.

You can find different colors of plexiglass (acrylic) including white. That would be my guess. It won’t be cheap to do a wall, but probably your best bet as far as researching something to do the same.

Good luck with the project.

They could be an acrylic project, or, as others have said a lamanite. I know that my cabinet maker didn’t want to do it for me. It’s so beautiful and clean looking. I hope you find it. My cabinet maker was concerned about warping if there were no pannels.

It’s a high-gloss PVC film laminated onto a fiberboard panel. This describes the process.
