FAQ EUATEC GROUP CORPORATION

Can I customize the design (e.g., size, color) of these cabinet types?

Customization varies by type: Classic solid wood cabinets are highly customizable (you can choose wood species, stain/paint colors, hardware, and even custom dimensions for odd-shaped spaces). Lacquer cabinets often come in a wide range of solid colors (from neutrals to bold hues) and can be tailored to size. Melamine and wood veneer have more limited color/print options (mimicking wood/stone) but can be cut to standard custom sizes. Stainless steel cabinets typically offer standard sizes but can be paired with custom hardware for a personalized touch.

Do stainless steel kitchen cabinets have any drawbacks, and how can I mitigate them?

Stainless steel cabinets offer industrial durability (heat/rust/stain resistance) but have minor downsides: They show fingerprints/smudges easily (wipe with a stainless steel cleaner + microfiber cloth to polish), and they can feel cold in a space (pair with warm accents like wood countertops to balance). Also, ensure they’re installed with proper padding to avoid rattling—their metal construction amplifies noise from cabinet doors.

Are melamine kitchen cabinets a durable choice for busy household kitchens?

Yes—melamine cabinets are surprisingly robust for high-traffic spaces. Their surface is made of resin-fused paper, making them scratch-resistant, stain-proof, and moisture-repellent (ideal for areas near sinks or dishwashers). While they can’t be refinished, they hold up well to daily wear (like knocks from pots or spills) and are easy to clean with just mild soap and water. They’re also lightweight, which simplifies installation—perfect for budget-friendly, functional kitchens.

How do I maintain lacquer kitchen cabinets to keep their high-gloss finish intact?

Lacquer cabinets’ sleek, reflective surface is low-maintenance but needs gentle care: Wipe daily spills with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth (avoid paper towels, which can scratch). For deeper cleaning, use a mild, pH-neutral cleaner diluted in warm water—never abrasive scours or harsh chemicals (like ammonia), which can dull the gloss. Also, avoid placing hot pots directly on lacquer surfaces (use trivets) to prevent heat damage that could crack the finish.

What’s the key distinction between solid wood (classic wood) and wood veneer kitchen cabinets?

Classic solid wood cabinets are crafted from 100% natural wood (e.g., oak, maple), offering unmatched durability, unique grain variation, and the ability to be refinished repeatedly—though they come at a higher cost and may expand/contract with humidity. Wood veneer cabinets feature a thin layer of real wood bonded to a more stable core (like plywood), delivering an authentic wood aesthetic at a lower price point; they’re lighter and less prone to warping but can’t be sanded/refinished like solid wood.
