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.

The so called treatment to prevent termite in the material itself. How will it affect your health as you will be placing your food, utensils, etc inside the cabinets. If it is strong enough to kill the termites, am sure it is also strong enough to affect your health; if it doesn't kill. Thanks for your advice. I aware of the health issue as well, that y I need advice.

QUOTE(cwhong @ Jul 24 2011, 11:58 PM) SORRY to tell you !! there's no such 100% termite proof for melamine board as far as I know........ pls becareful for the sweet talk of the respective salesman ..... as someone said the aluminum carcass cabinets will give u 100% termite proof solutions..... others like green layer is not !!! it's a type of chemical to make the board become more water resistent (not waterproof) compare to board withour the green layer/chemical....... but i still can accept if the salesperson told u it's chemical will not attracts termites rather than termite proof !!! BEWARE  QUOTE(Eleganz Concept @ Jul 25 2011, 02:23 AM)  the greeny thing are for Water Resistant from what i know... Thanks for the info!  It helps alot!! Thank you!!

QUOTE(leeyung @ Jul 25 2011, 04:52 PM) Yes, it happen that there are such materials, I am personally going for Fibre board for KC as my brother using as well. It is water proof, anti termite, heat resistance, my contractor show me on the spot, burn the fiber board with his lighter and nothing happen on the board, he showed my bro the board rendam inside water 1 week, nothing happen as well, but of course it will be more costly than typical KC using wood one:) Thanks for info. But I only afford to install melamine. No $$!  Added on July 27, 2011, 2:32 amQUOTE(Eleganz Concept @ Jul 25 2011, 08:13 PM) Yes, which mean the green layer are mix with wood chips Okay! got it.. Thanks!  Added on July 27, 2011, 2:33 amQUOTE(cwhong @ Jul 26 2011, 01:46 AM) OK, fibre board is another type of material which i agree as per your post...... TS saying it's melamine board so as far as melamine board concern mine above comments is FIXED.  Ya! Thanks very much!
