A thin layer of plastic (vinyl) or paper mixed with resin (foil) is wrapped and bonded to a MDF (medium density fibreboard) substrate. Vinyl and foil is one of the more widely used materials in the manufacture of kitchen doors.

What does foil wrapped mean?

Foil wrapping is another form of car wrapping, with block-colour or printed designs on flexible foil, which is then fixed over the painted surface of the vehicle – similar to applying gold leaf, but on a grand scale.

What are foil wrapped kitchen cabinets?

Thermofoil cabinets are made using a flexible vinyl material that is applied by heating the vinyl and molding it over medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or engineered wood. The result is a cabinet door with a smooth surface that resists chipping better than painted surfaces.
