Melamine has historically been sold as both a durable, built-in cabinet liner for Chicago custom cabinets– as well as an affordable, low-maintenance cabinet finish. These days, melamine is enjoying an updated and stylish renaissance, and we’re seeing it more and more in contemporary, high-end Chicago kitchen designs.
Chicago kitchen remodelers aiming to design more sustainable kitchens are in luck as increasing numbers of manufacturers refine their production process.
