Express Kitchens offers RTA (Ready-to-Assemble) and pre-assembled cabinets in shaker, flat-panel, raised-panel, louvred, and glass-front door styles, across painted, stained, and thermofoil finishes. All include soft-close hinges and drawer glides as standard.

Plywood is the most durable kitchen cabinet material, resisting moisture and warping better than particle board or MDF. Solid birch and hardwood frames add strength for high-use kitchens. High-quality MDF with a durable finish offers excellent value for budget builds.

Lifespan depends on usage, environment, and location. Cabinets made from solid wood or plywood generally outlast those made from MDF or particle board.

The main styles are shaker, flat-panel (slab), raised-panel, and glass-front. Shaker is the most popular for modern and transitional kitchens. Flat-panel suits contemporary designs; raised-panel is traditional. Express Kitchens stocks all major styles.
