Kaboodle Premium Thermoformed range durability?

[kah31]

Hi all,

First time postie here. I'm looking into buying the premium thermoformed kitchen cabinets from Kaboodle via Bunnings but having read some horror reviews on the thermoformed cabinets, I am losing confidence in the durability and longevity as I plan to stay in my house for an unforeseen future.

The wall cabinets will be about 760mm from the stove to and will have undermount rangehood.

The oven usage will be around a couple of times a month and will have heat deflectors installed per Kaboodle's instructions.

The other option I am considering is to get the raw boards and have them painted via a third party company. But I think that may be a long and painful path but might be worth it for the long run?

Any advice and experiences with Kaboodle's premium thermoformed cabinets would be much appreciated.

Hi @kah31,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

Kaboodle’s thermoformed doors and panels are a popular choice for D.I.Y. kitchens because they come prefinished and ready to install, offering a sleek and durable finish. When installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines (such as maintaining recommended clearances from heat sources) they are designed to perform exceptionally well in everyday kitchen and laundry environments.

Like any product, extreme conditions well outside normal use such as prolonged exposure to excessive heat or moisture can affect finishes, but this is rare and Kaboodle’s 10-year warranty should give you peace of mind.

Raw boards are another option if you prefer a custom painted finish, but both choices are designed to deliver long-lasting results when installed correctly.

If you have any questions about installation or care, feel free to ask. We are here to help.
