Kitchens made of MDF with PVC film - reviews on their use

I got lucky twice

A comment

At the wedding, my parents presented an apartment with a ready-made kitchen (chipboard body, mdf facades in a matte plain film), then 15 years ago I didn’t really understand what kitchens are made of and what operating and maintenance rules are necessary, and therefore I operated my kitchen without any of knowledge, as it is necessary in general, and rubbed the soap by various means, actively preparing it on a gas stove, in the oven, and in a double boiler. In 12 years! the countertop swelled around the sink, they decided to change the countertop and facades, because they were tired of the bright blue color, although the facades themselves were in very good condition, the film did not go anywhere. The company offered to make a completely new kitchen, because the kitchen is already 12 years old, and this will not greatly affect the cost.

We agreed, ordered a completely new kitchen chipboard + MDF facades in film. By the way, I also sold the old kitchen for a decent amount (1/4 of the cost of a new kitchen), buyers just put in a new countertop. We have been using the new kitchen for almost 3 years, the film is in place, nothing has gone anywhere. It’s easy to look after, I’m satisfied. I think most of the negative reviews about the kitchen with MDF facades in film due to unscrupulous manufacturers and poor quality work.

pros

Value for money, durability, many colors

Minuses

The embossed surfaces of the facades are more difficult than smooth ones to wash off dried spots.

Term of use

more than five years

It all depends on the producer

A comment

The quality of a PVC film product depends on the manufacturer directly, the FORMULA KITCHEN production company in Sochi offers PVC film facades and gives a 2-year guarantee for any kind of defects. The glorification or peeling of the film occurs only because all the technologies were not followed during the manufacture of the facades.

pros

more than 250 decors, more than 70 types of standard milling, non-standard sizes, low price

Minuses

colors fade in the open sun

Term of use

more than five years

The kitchen will not last long

A comment

Not so long ago I made a kitchen set to order, I chose facades from MDF with a PVC film. Outwardly, the headset looks decent, it suits the functional characteristics, roomy and all cabinets are conveniently placed. But the problem is different, just a week ago, the film from the panels of the upper boxes peeled off, they hang in the immediate vicinity of the gas stove and it turns out that they are constantly in contact with steam.

I called the store, they refuse to accept their guilt, refer to factory marriage. These proceedings were tired, and I decided to glue the film to the facade with glue, I managed to fix the problem, but the unpleasant residue remained. Now I constantly check the headsets and recently began to notice that the film and near the hood began to slowly peel off, disappointed, what else can I say. It turns out, I paid money, it is not clear why, the quality is terrible.

pros

low cost, stylish look for the first time and compactness of the headset

Minuses

quality, peel off the film

Term of use

more than three years

A set of MDF with PVC film may well exist in the kitchen

A comment

At one time, when I was looking for information about MDF kitchens with PVC film, I could not find reliable information about their practicality, so I want to talk about my experience in operating such a headset.

Before buying a film kitchen, you should immediately be aware that the film is glued to the headset, and accordingly such a kitchen requires a careful attitude to itself. Many people write that the film is moving away, but fortunately this problem spared me. The furniture case is made of chipboard, the accessories are all German, and the material of the facades is made of MDF. It is necessary to clarify what the headset is made of, and not just look at its appearance. Brand new kitchens all look good, but after a year they begin to lick the flaws in them.

It is absolutely necessary to order a moisture-resistant worktop, otherwise problems with swelling of the material will begin. When choosing a kitchen from this material, you need to buy not the cheapest, but one that is made of high-quality materials and then there will be no problems with peeling the film.

pros

lower price easier to maintain

Minuses

in the area of the non-built-in slab there should be false panels, non-moisture resistant / however, this applies to everything except the facades of solid wood.

Term of use

more than three years

Quality inferior

A comment

I couldn’t decide which one to order a headset from, someone said that the film would be more practical, others, on the contrary, only praised the painted facades, explaining that the PVC film could swell with heat over time. Despite all the shortcomings, I ordered a kitchen set from MDF with a PVC film, it turned out to be cheaper and this played the final role.

Now, after 4 years from the date of purchase of the headset, I can say do not save, painted facades are really better. Now, on my headset, the film gradually began to peel off, a look depressing. In addition, as a rule, the choice of colors is limited for the film, which can not be said about the paint, it certainly can be mixed in any shade.

In general, the variant of such a kitchen will cost the owner inexpensively, but here it must be taken into account that such a set will not last as long as we would like.

pros

Cheap

Minuses

Quality not practical

Term of use

more than five years
