Problems with wood
Our decision not to use regular solid wood in our cabinet construction is driven by a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges posed by Panama’s climate, particularly its high humidity levels. While solid wood is undeniably beautiful and carries a certain allure, it is inherently susceptible to the effects of moisture and humidity fluctuations.
Panama’s tropical climate subjects solid wood to continual expansion and contraction as humidity levels fluctuate. This natural phenomenon can lead to a range of issues, including warping, cracking, and splitting of the wood. Even with proper finishing and sealing, solid wood remains vulnerable to these effects, especially in environments with high humidity levels.
In contrast, our exclusive use of moisture and insect resistant particle core melamine offers a superior solution tailored to withstand Panama’s climatic conditions. Our melamine combines the strength and stability of insect and moisture resistant wood with the durability and water resistance of a melamine coating. This composite material is engineered to resist the adverse effects of moisture and humidity, ensuring that our cabinets maintain their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal over time.
By prioritizing the use of our special wood core melamine, we prioritize durability, longevity, and customer satisfaction. Our cabinets not only withstand the rigors of everyday use but also remain resilient in the face of Panama’s humid climate, providing homeowners with peace of mind and confidence in their investment.
Ultimately, our decision to avoid regular solid wood in favor of plywood core melamine reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, long-lasting cabinetry solutions tailored to meet the unique needs and challenges of our customers in Panama.
