The vast majority of kitchen doors are made of MDF and vinyl wrapped. The process is very cost effective in comparison to purchasing doors made of solid wood. The process of making Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF) doors is quite simple.
Beginning
New MDF kitchen doors start at MDF door manufacturers as a single sheet of 2600mm x 2000mm MDF with a thickness of just 18mm. The maker of the doors has thousands of the sheets that are laminated with colored melamine plastic or a wood grain effect. The sides covered in melamine plastic are the backs of the new doors. The MDF sheets are put melamine side down under a programmed machine that routs them. The size wanted is input into the machine’s computer. Standard sizes plus special sizing can be inputted.
Pick the Design
At this point, the door’s design must be picked and then entered into the computer that cuts the door to size. Designs of kitchen door vary and several different designs from cathedral style arches to Shaker style that has a recessed panel are all available, or just a single slab design that has a beveled edge. At this point, the machine cuts the design and size with the computer’s direction.
Glue Added
Once the doors are completely routed and cut to size, the dust is removed, and glue sprayed onto the door. The glue remains until it is nearly dry but remains tacky, and the vinyl is warmed. When the vinyl is heated, the doors are put into the machine that presses the vinyl into place on top of the MDF, with the front as well as edges wrapped.
Cool and Remove
The door is left to cool then when cooled it is removed from the vinyl press machine, and the melamine side is placed upwards. The extra vinyl is then trimmed and receives a quality control check prior to being sent out to be sold.
