What are Thermolaminated Kitchen Doors?
Thermolaminated doors, also known as Vinyl or Thermo doors, are a popular choice for interior applications due to their affordability and durability. They are made with a moisture-resistant MDF core and a hard-wearing vinyl laminate surface, creating a door with a smooth, imperfection-free finish. This makes them ideal for busy households as they are resistant to scratches, stains, and wear and tear. Thermolaminate is considered the new and improved version of the traditional vinyl product, offering a more modern look and improved durability.
When considering the type of door material you choose, the most popular 3 choices are melamine, thermolaminated and polyurethane. Whilst consumer confidence is generally strong with melamine and polyurethane doors as both are well known products, we find that when offering thermolaminated that clients have not heard of the product before or there is a lot of misinformation about the quality of todays doors which can often lead to clients being hesitant to consider them for their project. This is largely due to the older technology that was used to produce vinyl wrapped doors and the issues this new technology faced. These doors often had issues with shrinking, peeling and discolouring.
Over the years with technology advances, thermolaminated doors have replaced the traditional vinyl doors and polytec are the market leaders offering an impressive range in both door profiles, colours & finishes.
Thermolaminated doors and panels are made from profiled moisture resistant E-Zero MDF, constructed with a durable and decorative surface on the face and edges.
