What Are Hybrid Cabinet Doors and What Makes Them Sustainable?

Many homeowners are in search of sustainable materials to use in their homes in various places, including their cabinet doors. While they desire for their homes to be attractive and durable, they want to accomplish this in an eco-friendly manner. Luckily, there are now hybrid cabinet doors that fulfil this desire in a quality manner. If you are unfamiliar with these doors, you need to learn what they are and why they are sustainable. We provide you with some pertinent facts on both topics to further educate you about them.

What Are Hybrid Cabinet Doors?

Hybrid cabinet doors are constructed from medium density fibreboard or MDF. MDF is a mixture of wood fibres and glue or resin binder, and all ingredients are bound together with the help of pressure and heat. The wood fibres come from a variety of places, such as pine plantation and wood waste from paper manufacturing. Once the binding process is complete, the results are a product that can take the place of solid wood in such elements as cabinet doors.

Benefits of MDF for Cabinet Doors

MDF offers the following benefits when you select to use them in your cabinet doors:

• MDF provides a stronger surface than standard particle board does
• Is less expensive than solid oak, maple or other woods
• Saws easily
• Sands effectively
• Is paintable
• Is denser than the same thickness of plywood
• MDF is drillable and will hold screws securely
• Resistant to mold and mildew
• Is recyclable
• Can be sustainable when you select the right type of MDF
• MDF E-ZERO is available today

Why Hybrid Cabinet Doors Can Be Sustainable

Part of the sustainability of these cabinet doors is the fact that scrap wood chips or pine wood from plantations are major components in the manufacturing process of the MDF. This reduces the number of forest trees that need to be harvested each year. Even a small reduction in this makes a huge difference for the environment. Another important reason that MDF can be sustainable is if you only use MDF E-ZERO, which uses eco-friendly glue or resin binder that do not emit any level of formaldehyde. As a result, the cabinet doors will not inadvertently pollute your indoor air.
