DIY Shows - Ask The Kitchen Guy
December 14, 2012 by UltraCraft

Today's Particleboard is a Great Option for Cabinetry
First off, you should know that for all of UltraCraft's Destiny wood door styles, you have the option to have your cabinetry produced with either particleboard, or more specifically, Engineered Furniture Core or plywood. So, which is the right choice for you?
Many people have a preconceived notion that particleboard is not a suitable material for building cabinetry. This could not be further from the truth. In fact, in some cases, particleboard is a better option than plywood. Just ask the manufacturer's of high end furniture which they prefer to use and you might be surprised to find that the answer is particleboard.

Cabinetry Construction - Deconstructed!
Cabinetry is divided into two major categories when considering construction methods - Framed and Frameless.
