A Stronger, Healthier, and More Durable Choice
I’m excited to share that View In Cabinet has recently introduced a significant upgrade to our kitchen cabinet offerings: the Melamine-Faced Plywood Carcass (M+ Plywood Carcass). If you prioritize quality, durability, and health-conscious materials, this innovation is tailored for your next kitchen project.
What Makes Our M+ Plywood Carcass Stand Out?
Unlike conventional materials, our melamine-faced plywood carcass is engineered for superior strength, moisture resistance, and longevity. Comprising solid multi-layered plywood, each layer is meticulously bonded to enhance durability, ensuring your cabinets withstand daily wear and tear.

The Benefits of Choosing Melamine-Faced Plywood Carcass
1. Unmatched Durability
The multi-layered solid plywood core provides remarkable strength. It securely holds screws, even if you need to unscrew and re-screw in the same spot—something not always possible with lower-quality materials. This robustness ensures that your cabinets remain sturdy and reliable over time.
2. Moisture Resistance for Long-Lasting Cabinets
Kitchens are exposed to humidity, spills, and cleaning agents. Our melamine-faced plywood carcass offers superior moisture resistance compared to materials like blockboard, which tend to swell over time. This characteristic ensures that your cabinets maintain their form and function for years to come.
3. A Healthier Choice for Your Home
We prioritize indoor air quality, which is why our plywood carcass meets the E0 standard for formaldehyde emissions. This certification indicates significantly lower levels of harmful emissions, making it a safer choice for families who value a healthy home environment.
4. Premium Melamine Surface
Our carcasses feature a melamine paper surface that enhances durability by providing:
- Scratch Resistance: Protects against daily wear and tear, maintaining a pristine appearance.
- Stain Resistance: Simplifies cleaning, even after spills, due to its non-porous surface.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Offers a smooth, modern finish that complements various kitchen designs.
How Our Plywood Carcass Stands Out from the Competition
Many suppliers offer blockboard and label it as plywood, but they are not the same. Blockboard consists of softwood strips that lack the strength and moisture resistance of our genuine plywood carcasses. Additionally, most competitors provide only 15mm-thick carcasses with soft surface (which can be easily damaged with just a soft press on it), while ours boasts a solid 18mm thickness, offering greater stability and durability.
Upgrade Your Kitchen with Confidence
Selecting the right materials for your kitchen cabinets is an investment in both functionality and aesthetics. Our melamine-faced plywood carcass is designed to last, providing superior moisture resistance, exceptional screw-holding strength, and a premium finish. If you’re seeking a stronger, healthier, and more durable option, this is the perfect upgrade.
