Glass cabinets

Membrane cabinets

The core of this material is made of raw MDF, but PVC is used in the covering part. The method of covering and gluing PVC on raw MDF is what makes this material different and special. In the production of this cabinet, raw MDF is first designed and engraved by a CNC machine, which is a type of wood engraving machine. The model and design of the engravings are very extensive and are given to the CNC machine by the computer. After engraving to the desired design and model, the raw MDF is covered with PVC coating in a unified and complete manner in special conditions. The method of attaching and covering the PVC layer plays an important role in the quality of this material, and if it is not vacuumed well, it will lose its quality.

PVC cabinets are completely resistant to water and moisture and are light in weight. PVC cabinets are used in toilets, bathrooms, swimming pools and in some cases in the kitchen. Due to the fact that the PVC cabinet is relatively expensive and has a low variety in terms of color and model, its full use as a kitchen cabinet is not justified and only its unit and skeleton are used until the cabinet rots. and not to be damaged.
