Furniture materials explained without the catalogue overload

We can assist you inEspañolEnglishDeutschРусский

A material choice has to survive the room it enters. We consider structure, surface, edging, hardware and cleaning alongside the colour you want to see.

The choice is part of the project

The best material is the one that suits the way the furniture will be used

Two cabinets can look alike yet perform very differently. Board, edge and mechanism must suit the weight, moisture and number of daily openings.

01

Wear and tear

Humidity, heat, shocks, cleaning, load and opening frequency

02

Design and light

Colour, texture, grain, sheen and relationship with floors and walls

03

Maintenance

Ease of cleaning, repair and performance over time

04

Planned investment

We prioritise what adds value to use and avoid unnecessary extra costs

Tell us what furniture you need

We begin with use and dimensions, then narrow the samples to options that make sense for this particular piece

Material families

Options with which we can manufacture

These examples show useful differences, not a fixed catalogue. We check the exact reference, shade and availability when the brief is defined.

01

Technical melamines

Decorative faced board can be used for both interiors and fronts. Thickness, edge quality and exposure to water need checking before the colour is chosen.

The manager confirms adequate quality, thickness, edge and resistance
02

Lacquered MDF

Lacquer can produce a specified colour and shaped fronts. Consider sheen, wear at touch points and how a future repair might look.

The type of lacquer and the preparation are defined according to the piece and its use.
03

Natural timber veneer

Veneer gives broad panels a genuine timber face on a stable board. We agree grain direction and the matching of adjoining leaves before production.

We select species, cut, tone and varnish together
04

Solid timber

Solid timber has a depth you see at the edge and feel in use. Its natural movement needs to be allowed for in joints and fixings.

The project manager explains where it makes technical and economic sense
05

HPL and laminates

HPL can suit surfaces that see frequent contact. Its supporting board, cut-outs and exposed edges still have to be specified carefully.

The specification depends on the room and the support used
06

Plywood

Plywood's layers may be left visible or covered. Face grade and thickness are chosen for the load and look of the finished piece.

Class, thickness and finish are assessed for each application
07

Glass, mirror and metal

Glass or mirror can lighten a cabinet front or display its contents. Weight, safe handling and the fixing method come before the visual effect.

Safety, weight, fixing and maintenance are reviewed before defining them
08

Hardware and accessories

A cabinet's movement matters as much as its surface. We compare mechanisms by load, clearance and ease of future adjustment.

The manager sizes them according to load, opening and frequency of use
Materials advice

How do we arrive at a suitable proposal?

A photograph and a short description of the intended use are enough to begin. Product references come later, once the layout is clear.

  1. 01
    We understand the project

    We look at the room, rough dimensions, expected load and the appearance you have in mind

  2. 02
    We discard what is not appropriate

    We rule out combinations unsuited to moisture, wear or the expected weight

  3. 03
    We present coherent alternatives

    We explain relevant differences and propose comparable combinations

  4. 04
    We validate before manufacturing

    Finishes, edges, hardware and details are defined in the final proposal

Common questions

What you should know before choosing

The answer changes with the room and the intended use; these questions help frame a useful comparison.

Can I submit a Pinterest reference or photo?

Yes. Tell us whether it is the colour, grain, shape or texture that appeals to you. We can then check how to achieve it in your room.

Is there a recommended material for the entire home?

No. A bathroom and bedroom can share a colour while needing different boards or edges. We look for visual continuity without forcing one construction everywhere.

Can I see colours and samples before deciding?

Once the layout is known, we shortlist relevant samples. Seeing them beside the room's existing materials is more useful than scanning a catalogue of unrelated finishes.

Does the material change the budget a lot?

Yes, but size, hardware, special cuts and installation also affect the price. We compare finishes on the same design and with the same scope of work.

A specification, not a sample collection

Material advice tied to the furniture being made in Valencia

Boards, veneer, lacquer, timber, glass and hardware behave differently once size, load, cleaning and daylight are considered. We therefore shortlist combinations for the actual cabinet rather than asking you to choose from every available finish. In projects around Valencia, samples are reviewed beside retained floors, walls or worktops and the quotation records the agreed surface, edge and hardware level.
