It's time to buy new cabinets for your kitchen. Whether you're remodeling or building a brand new home, the selection of cabinetry is an important decision. Four considerations when making this decision are budget, functionality, durability and appearance. The three main material types include laminate, wood and metal. In any remodeling project, it is important to determine your budget. How much do you plan to spend on the entire kitchen and which portion is reserved for the cabinetry? Once you've decided the amount you can spend, stick to it. There are many types of cupboards available on the market today and they come in a wide variety of price ranges. Laminate tends to be the least expensive. Wood prices will vary depending on the type of wood selected. Stainless steel is the metal most often used in cabinetry and the price will vary depending on whether one chooses all metal or part metal and part wood. In terms of functionality and durability, each material has its pros and cons. Each material can be built into varying configurations to provide adequate kitchen storage space. Cupboards made of laminate tend to have fairly standard, no frill features since they are at the lower end of the price scale. Wood and metal tend to be higher end products, so are offered with more custom touches to make them more functional. With regards to durability, laminate is a compressed wood and paper product, so tends to chip and wear out more quickly. Metal is extremely long wearing, but does take a bit of maintenance in terms of polishing and cleaning fingerprints. Wood is quite durable, but also requires polishing and periodic refinishing or painting. If wood gets wet, it can warp and reduce the smooth functionality of some of the working parts. All three materials can be very attractive, however. Which one will be the best selection is a matter of taste. Laminate comes in many colors to blend with the kitchen's decor. Wood comes in a wide selection of finishes as well as types of wood, including oak, cherry, pine, birch, alder and bamboo. Metal has a more modern look so is a great choice for a contemporary motif. The best way to make a decision is by looking through decorating magazines to see what styles and materials appeal to you. When you have a good idea of what you like and don't like, go to a store that carries the product and take a close up look at the texture and appearance. When you've found a few choices that you like, make sure the prices fit into your price range and then plan your install date!
