The kitchen is the place not only needs to be functional, but also needs to be visually comfortable.Along with storage and function, durability and budget are very important factors that come into play.Wood and aluminum both are the options for kitchen cabinets,These factors for aluminum and wood cabinets will be listed below to help you deside.

 Waterproof and fire resistance

As it contains moisture, when with high humidity,wooden furniture will aggravate its cracking, damp, mildew, bacteria and other problems, and the service life and sanitary quality will be greatly reduced. But,aluminum furniture does not need to worry about moisture at all.The aluminum alloy material will form a dense oxide film when contacting with oxygen to prevent the reaction between oxygen and aluminum

In terms of fire resistance, aluminum alloy material is resistant to high temperature and can also insulate open fire. Traditional wooden furniture has certain combustion-supporting properties, and special attention should be paid to open fire during use.

Cost and price

On the market, the price of aluminum cabinets is higher than that of traditional panel cabinets, but there is no big difference between the price of panel cabinets of some major brands, and the price of some solid wood furniture is also higher than that of all-aluminum furniture.

Health and environmental protection

The environmental protection of the kitchen is very important. Traditional cabinets are mostly made of particle board, plywood and other boards, and use a lot of glue. Once the edges are not tightly sealed or damaged, a large amount of formaldehyde will be released.

The aluminum furniture mostly adopts the physical splicing methods such as gusset plate structure or lock catch. The slots are reserved between the plates to splice each other, eliminating the use of a large amount of glue.
