Melamine

At Pan Pacific Interiors, our dedication to quality is evident in every aspect of our work. We’re proud to exclusively utilize moisture and insect-resistant melamine, coupled with specialized screws for superior performance, setting us apart in Panama’s market.

This exceptional material blends compressed wood particles and resin at its core, resulting in remarkable durability. Its core is encased in a tough, water-resistant finish, ideal for enduring the rigors of kitchens and bathrooms. Our specialized screws enhance the screw holding capabilities of the melamine, ensuring unmatched durability and strength for our cabinets.

Let’s explore the various types of melamine cores:

  • Regular Core: This type lacks moisture resistance and requires complete sealing on all sides and edges to maintain its strength.
  • Moisture Resistant Core: Infused with copper sulphate, this core is green and highly resistant to moisture, retaining its integrity even when exposed to water.
  • Particle Core: Made of ground-up wood particles bonded together, this common type offers strength and consistency.

Melamine not only excels in durability and strength but also offers a diverse array of colors and designs, including faux wood grain and wood tones, ensuring compatibility with any style.

Affordability is a key concern for homeowners, and melamine provides a cost-effective yet durable solution. Its clean, uniform finish perfectly complements modern kitchen designs.

While solid wood boasts beauty, it may not be the best choice, especially in humid climates like Panama. Solid wood’s susceptibility to expansion and contraction can lead to issues like warping and cracking. Our exclusive moisture-resistant melamine, coupled with specialized screws, avoids these problems while delivering long-lasting quality.

Choosing materials with excellent screw holding properties ensures the structural integrity and stability of furniture pieces, particularly cabinets. This sturdy connection between components prevents issues such as sagging shelves and misaligned doors, guaranteeing reliable and functional furnishings for years to come.

Insects attack natural wood and our melamine is insect resistant. You don’t want this in your home.
