Thermo-Foil Cabinets
Thermo-Foil is a vinyl material used to cover the outside of the doors . It is very resistant to water, moisture and can be easily cleaned. It is better than high-pressure laminate materials like Formica, because it can cover a door in one seamless piece. The most common problem with older laminated cabinetry is that the seams eventually separate.
