Why Melamine Faced Chipboard is great for Kitchen Cabinet Interiors



The chipboard core (also known as particleboard) is made of wood chips, bonded with resin and compressed by heat and pressure to form boards.
The top and bottom coloured layer is made by applying a sheet of coloured paper with resin. This sheet is cured under heat and pressure, and glued and pressed onto the chipboard core under low pressure. The coloured paper is what determines the look of your cabinet, and also protects the wood chips from water.
Melamine faced chipboard comes in standard of size of 4ft x 8ft sheets, although this will depend with the manufacturer.
Each board is then cut into different sizes according to your kitchen cabinet design. When the board is cut, the sides of the board will have exposed chipboard, so it needs to be covered. The normal way to do this is to cover it with a strip of ABS plastic, which is a high-pressure laminate banding that is abrasion-resistant, using edge-banding machine.
