Carcass in Kitchen Furniture: Essential Element for a Strong and Functional Kitchen

While building a kitchen, people often give more importance to the overall aesthetics, finish and design. However, to build a functional kitchen, it is crucial to choose the right material for your kitchen cabinets/carcasses, as they form the foundation of every kitchen. These cabinets provide support to doors, drawers and countertops while simultaneously stabilising the entire structure by evenly distributing their weight, eliminating any risk of collapse.

Desirable Qualities in Kitchen Carcasses

Density

Choosing a High-density carcass material is vital to make sure that hinges, drawers and other components of your kitchen stay intact and secured in their place.

Water Resistance

If the carcass is not water resistant, it will wrap or decay when exposed to moisture over a certain period of time.

Some commonly used materials for Kitchen carcasses are

Solid Wood

It is a popular choice because of its natural beauty, however, it is extremely prone to warping as it is not resistant to water.

MFC (Melamine Faced Chipboard)

MFC is a low-density material, which makes it affordable and light but it is more prone to warping in areas with high humidity.

MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)

It is a smooth and dense material, which makes it a good choice for kitchen carcasses. However, it can be prone to swelling when exposed to moisture.

Plywood

Plywood is known for its structural stability. It offers a balance between cost and performance. However, the adhesive used in binding plywood layers often weaken over time, which makes the layers separate in wet and humid conditions.

Superpan

While superpan has higher resistance to water damage than traditional kitchen carcass materials, exposure to moisture can still degrade the material over time. It might chip or wear out faster if not sealed properly, affecting its overall appearance, as well as durability.

Note: It is to be noted here that all of the materials mentioned above are not fire, fungus or pest-resistant.

Stainless Steel Kitchen Carcasses

Stainless steel has recently become a popular choice for kitchen carcasses especially due to the overall durability and stability it offers to modular kitchens.

Durability

Stainless steel is extremely durable, resistant to rust, corrosion, and general wear and tear. It does not warp or get damaged in areas of high moisture and humidity. Moreover it is pest and fire resistant which keeps your kitchen safe and clean. It also can withstand heavy water usage without damaging the structural foundation of your kitchen. At Wudless, we offer 25 Year* Warranty on Stainless Steel Carcasses.

Low Maintenance

Since Stainless steel is a non-porous material, unlike wood-based materials, it requires minimal maintenance. It’s easy to clean, and there’s no risk of warping or swelling due to moisture exposure.

Stability

Stainless steel provides a stable foundation for a kitchen, making it the perfect choice for holding heavy kitchenware and appliances without weakening over time.

Water Resistanc

Being non-porous, stainless steel is resistant to water damage, which makes sure that your kitchen carcasses remain in pristine condition for years.

Conclusion

The carcass is the backbone of your entire kitchen unit which provides support to all the other components. Choosing the right material for your kitchen carcass is extremely important for the longevity of your kitchen. Stainless steel is unarguably one of the best kitchen carcass materials available in the market as it is extremely durable, low in maintenance and resistant to water damage. For a strong, functional and long-lasting kitchen, opting for a stainless-steel kitchen is the right choice.
