is there such a thing as waterproof cabinets (that look good)? i need cabinets in these areas... entrance (shoe rack), dry kitchen, wet kitchen, batroom, balcony (gardening material). my mum recently installed a waterproof metal shed outdoors at her house but i wouldn't want to see that kind of finish in my kitchen/bathroom etc

Aluminium cupboards for kitchen and bathroom?

thanks. but wont that look cold. i mean will it have a warm cosy look like the ikea kitchens?

IKEA not water proof nor water resistant.

yup. and i've seen long term condition of ikea in my friends home and it looks bad.

If want water resistant one...

Better aluminum types to be safe... At least won't really rusting or water damage 🙏

thanks. that looks like the consensus. do they make non-shiny/glossy type aluminium cabinet? i like earthy/warm colours

not sure....

needed to ask & special orders them

thanks. going to showroom tomorrow. looks like got thick vs thin aluminium. dunno what else to check. hope its not too pricey

i've made bathroom cabinets out of solid oak. definitely water proof. maybe not wallet proof though

Foam board is more water resistant compared to melamine or plywood iinm. But cannot sustain too high heat or heavy loads

nowadays acrylic paint and solvent paint can do what you wanted, definitely not submerged the entire cabinet under water, but occasional water splashing or daily cooking there is no problem with that

if you want more extreme waterproofing can go for epoxy coating

if you want water resistant cabinet without additonal treatment, blockboard and plywood is the choice but they are not waterproof, but a little water splashing wont cause them to break apart
