Cabinet doors are often made of solid wood or medium density fiberboard (MDF). Solid wood cabinet doors are self explanatory.  MDF doors are more complicated.  The MDF used to make a cabinet door can be painted, primed or thermofoiled.  Finishing MDF with thermofoil is the most common method of producing MDF cabinet doors.  Thermofoil products are often called: “thermofoil”, “foiled”, “laminate” or “vinyl”.   Thermofoil products are manufactured by applying a layer of PVC vinyl to MDF board using heat, vacuum pressure, and high-quality, catalyzed glue. A membrane press is used to fuse the vinyl onto the cabinet door, molding or drawer front.  The types of thermofoil designs and patterns run the gamut from solid white to woodgrain.   Whether one wants thermofoil for their kitchen, closet, bathroom, garage or bedroom, MDF thermofoiled doors are very durable and economical.  US Customized Finishes manufactures MDF thermofoil doors, carrying over 30 thermofoil colors.  Many of these colors come with  melamine backs matching the foil color.
