Hi, I wonder anyone here heard of Melamine Kitchen Cabinet that is termite proof?

So far I went to 4 showrooms and only 1 showroom told me that their wood / melamine is termite proof.

They showed me the normal and the termite proof melamine, the different is the termite proof melamine got a green layer within as is kind of treatment / posion to prevent termite.

Please help. Thanks.

is depend how big and what u mean.

Milamine board usually is not more then 8ft so more then that the grain will be diff already. or if u mean vertical grain or horizontal grain, then i will say, of coz they have to follow.

Hi Ernie, thanks for reply.
Actually the long section of the kitchen is 8ft and it is done in horizontal way. Shouldn't it be much easier to follow the grain since its done horizontally?

Just curious, if i would to change all the doors with new doors that follow grain, how much will it cost?

If you cabinet is within 8ft, there should be no problem to continue the grain, sometime, some KC shop are not making the door with the same pcs of wood, becoz sometime the door got big and small, if continue the grain, may have wastage a lot, so they just mix and match with diff pcs of wood to save thier cost. Another situation is, those door are cut out by diff ppl, example, swing door are done by 1 worker, but drawer done by another worker, then sure the wood will not be able to join.

My name is Tim by the way. ^^
