Plywood is MUCH lighter than MDF so it’s a good choice for LARGE cabinets. I usually choose a cabinet grade plywood like Birch which has a nice, hard, smooth veneer on both sides. Birch Plywood is esssspensive! so if u wanna stick to ply only then Sanded Ply is the option.

hi for internals you can use marine ply or water proof ply branded or non branded. In terms of finishing materials we suggest not to use ply etc since its kitchen. you can go for glass which looks elegant and easily maintained. Thanks Bhakti Bhojwani Team Ornate

Farid, Longevity and low maintenance is the criteria then BWP blockboards will be your best option for kitchen shutters. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

One of the kitchen designers is providing bakelite for kitchen cabinets material, I feel it would be good to use this material since the area is prone to termites thus using wood is not beneficial. Can anyone provide me any downsides of this material?
