Base Material for Indian Style Small Modular Kitchen Design :-

In the market there are many different varieties available for the base material for your modular kitchen but here is the recommendation to long lasting your kitchen’s look and beauty. Majorly two materials HDHMR or plywood material are used for this purpose.

HDHMR ( high density high moisture resistant) boards are alternate of plywood specially designed to withstand high moisture and enhance strength and durability.

If you are selecting plywood, make sure to buy 710 calibrated plywood material without undulations to get better finish after installation.

Finishing Material for Modular Kitchen:-

After base material selection for your Indian style small modular kitchen design, finishing material is chosen and it can be paint based or sheet based.

In paint based material most popular options are PU (polyurethane) is a hard, stretchable polymer pigment coating that is used to surface-finish and protect wooden surfaces and another one is Duco, it is a premium quality air drying paint brand, which is used for getting a lovely finish on all types of wood surface.

If you want your Indian style small modular kitchen design in Indian traditional way than paint is good, I can give you here tips if you are looking for long lasting kitchen style, Duco would be a good choice and PU is good for factory finish.

Important Consideration and Other Tips While Installation :-

Buy laminate sheets having 1 mm thickness.
If laminate sheets make sure they are having 1-2 mm thickness.
Laminate sheets are more thick and are glossy.
While instalation ensure to provide same thickness for both side because heaving one side laminate or acrylic and other side paint makes bend in shutters.
If any bend is there after some times use straightener material to avoid such blends.
To avoid seepage water or moisture, use Marinekoat or use wood protector sheet on wall than Install wood on the wall, helps in seepage reduction.
