MODERN PVC CABINETS

I am building the cabinets for my house. Instead of paying a cabinet maker around 14 thousand dollars I will make the entire kitchen project along with many luxury details for around five thousand. Spot lights, bloom motion drawers, life time pvc material instead of wood. Won't root, wont get any tropical termites, water flood no problem. Money well spent. This project is only started.

Here is the tropical weather of all summer hi humidity all year around bugs will eat your cedar like candy. Usually wet floors and the cousins of the termites will fly get in your house and crate their home behind your cabinets. This product is good enough to last forever. That is good for me as the owner of the cabinet not for the cabinet worker it self. They usually like to make cabinets out of wood. This will give a certain amount of cabinet life time. Usually from 5 to 10 years on a good well job done. Not all cases will last the same. This product call pvc panel I like because I can guarantee they will last long long time. Here in the island China once again is the leader of mayor distributor for whole sale. Then I buy it from a local cabinet wood worker whole sale ware house. I pay $65 for the 3/4 $55 for the 5/8 $45 for the 1/2 and $35 for the 3/8 and $25 for the 1/4 inch. If you buy at leas $ 200 they will deliver no cost. It is not strong as wood. It will bend slightly flexible. Cuts really easier than wood but you must be more careful. You don't need any special tools, you can use your wood working tools. You will use a different glue and coarse screws. All you need to do is a good frame reinforcement to ensure the rigidity of the cabinet module. If work properly you wont have any problem at all. Finish like sanding is not required but if you want you can will thin sand paper and and orbital sander. Routing no problem for laminates but you can only use flush trim bits with bearings. The non bearing bits will melt in to the piece destroying it. Edges after cutting them will be sharp like a knife and will cut you be careful. It will stain with dirty hands and to clean mineral spirits. Glue to laminate contact cement no problem gun pray the same. Its nice once you get to it. A lot of demand on the market right now. Those who love wood will stay on wood. Those looking for money making or durability will also do pvc.  Sure the dust will probably give you cancer but is not proven. I always use a dust mask. If you have a good woodworking vacuum dust collection system you should not have any mess. 

Check on this promotional short video of an American made pvc panel product. This will lighting you.

Whats this George? solid PVC?

Never heard of such a product most interested to learn more,

Supplier, costs, workability, strength, finish and all those sort of things.

Dust Problem

If its anything like Caesar Stone, Perspex and the likes. when you cut it the dust gets into everything and sticks my magic (possibly electrostatics at work) everywhere, and is a nightmare to clean up.

Go buy a decent Dust mask well worth the cost in the long run!

Exited, need a dam table saw. I hate to cut this cabinets with a hand circular saw of $40 dollars. Take long time to measure, set and cut each single piece. What a nightmare. Plus the PVC dust is all over, no vacuum, no air filter. I only have a 5 dollar dust mask with a clogged up car vacuum, quite overpriced by the way for a dust mask dam Walt mart.

Product Reviews

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
