Best Plywood for Kitchen Cabinets in NZ
One of the most common questions homeowners ask is:
“What is the best plywood for kitchen cabinets?”
For most modern kitchens in New Zealand, cabinet makers often choose melamine or birch plywood for their balance of durability, appearance, and moisture resistance.
Marine plywood is also recommended for high-moisture environments, while MDF boards are commonly used for painted cabinet finishes because of their smooth surface.
The ideal plywood thickness for kitchen cabinets usually ranges from:
- 16mm plywood
- 18mm plywood
Depending on cabinet structure and weight requirements.
MDF vs Plywood in NZ: Which One Is Better?
