Which Cabinet Board Material Is Right for Your Home?

Which Cabinet Board Material Is Right for Your Home?

Investing in built-in kitchen cabinets or planning a customized wardrobe goes beyond just design — the true performance of your cabinetry lies in the quality of the board materials used.

At ohsome, we go beyond standard practices in the market by selecting premium, safer, and more durable boards — all tailored to Malaysia’s climate and your lifestyle needs.


Plywood

  • Thickness:
    While 9-layer plywood is commonly used in the local market, ohsome uses 11-layer plywood with 18mm thickness — a stronger and more reliable choice.

  • Durability & Strength:
    Naturally stronger than particleboard, with great moisture resistance, ideal for Malaysia’s humid climate.

  • Eco-Friendly:
    Achieves ENF-grade environmental standard, meaning it’s ultra-low in formaldehyde and safe for your family.

  • Best Used For:
    High-stress areas such as base cabinets and bathroom vanities, where both strength and moisture resistance are essential.


OSB (Oriented Strand Board)

  • Thickness:
    We use 18mm OSB, stronger and more resilient than standard MFC.

  • Durability:
    Excellent impact resistance and anti-deformation performance, making it perfect for daily use.

  • Moisture Resistance:
    Enhanced with moisture-proof treatment and PUR all-edge banding, it held strong.

  • Best Used For:
    Cabinet doors, where resistance to humidity and warping is critical.


MFC (Melamine Faced Chipboard)

  • Thickness:
    Most brands in Malaysia use 16mm boards. At ohsome, we use 18mm thick MFC, providing your cabinets with a more stable and solid structure.

  • Density & Strength:
    High-density, strong enough for cabinet carcass and shelving.

  • Water Resistance:
    Regular MFC can swell when exposed to moisture. With eco-friendly PUR all-edge banding makes it not only more water-resistant but also healthier for indoor air quality.

  • Best Used For:
    Carcass (cabinet bodies) and shelves.
