Facades of a kitchen set made of plastic

Such elements for the kitchen appeared relatively recently, but have already gained quite a lot of popularity among consumers. However, those who have not yet seen plastic facades will be careful with such news at first, but later they will certainly understand and take into account all the positive properties of such material.

It is worth noting that plastic is only a cladding, but not the only one used (as you might think from the photo). There are various plastic kitchens, but this name means the facade and the set itself.

A potential buyer can find two types of cover:

• Glued MDF - quite an expensive option
• Chipboard - is a popular choice among customers due to its low price.

Variability of end processing:

• It is possible to be edged with an aluminum profile;
• Postforming;
• Use PVC or acrylic edges. The latter is especially practical.

With the help of edges, you can experiment with color, which very well gives vent to imagination.

PVC edge will add brightness and can mix with the shade of the countertop, as well as an apron and textiles. But, in addition to the above elements, these may be other details.

Paste wood over quite simply: put plastic on it, and then install it under a press. The edge banding machine helps in peeling off the edge of the canvas.

Types of Above Material

• CPL is a plastic made from rolls of predominantly medium as well as cold pressure.
• HPL is a sheet of plastic that most often clad facades under high pressure.

Colors can be any, sharp and bright or delicate and dark. It all depends on personal preference.

It is necessary to notice such a novelty as an acrylic base. It looks nice, all this due to the matte background and a variety of glossy patterns.

HPL

The price of such plastic is slightly higher than rolled, but you have something to pay for! The impressive appearance of the facades will not leave the landlord indifferent. This is a technological material that, after installation, will keep its shape for a long time. In addition, it is environmentally friendly.

CPL

Slightly reminiscent of dermatin. Technological qualities are not the same as in the previous copy, but for its purchase does not require a large amount of finance. It is made of polyvinyl chloride. Among the minuses, it can be distinguished that it can sometimes fade during prolonged exposure to sunlight, as well as low impact resistance. Appearance will not leave a bad impression.

What is the advantage of such facades

First of all, it is resistance to damage, as well as resistance to abrasion. Temperature does not affect appearance. The same should be said about water (moisture resistance). Ultraviolet will not be able to negatively affect such a surface. These are reliable and durable facades. Separately, it is worth mentioning that the color and patterns can be chosen for every taste. Cheap enough stuff.

The plastic kitchen will also shine and shine many years after installation. The coating is not deformed in any way, and it is also firmly glued to the base and is unlikely to lose its shape.

disadvantages

You can buy plastic matte or glossy. What is the problem?

It is quite difficult to follow the matte facades, as the dirt freezes on the surface and it is quite difficult to wipe it off. For this you need to make considerable efforts.

With gloss, everything is relatively simpler, but there are drawbacks. It’s easier to wipe away dirt from it, but the constant presence of fingerprints on it will not give you peace. They will no matter what color the kitchen is. Various drawings on the doors can save the situation, but even with their presence one cannot completely get rid of the problem. By the way, patterns can give a more presentable and fresh appearance to the interior.

Do not forget that inside the facade will still remain white, because painting takes place only outside. If cold pressing was used during installation, the central part is often concave, which, if you look closely, distorts the pattern.

There are no more serious shortcomings, except for poor-quality plastic. This may burn out provided that low grade material has been used.

Care

The main requirement is to keep clean and tidy, but too many cleaning products do not need to be applied, because they can damage the coating.

If you want to choose a specific color, but your eyes are widening, then it is best to consult with people who understand this matter. They will tell you exactly which color suits the overall interior of the kitchen and provide you with several options for choosing. Do not forget to calculate your financial resources, because along with the purchase you will need to purchase also a care product.
