Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of plywood kitchen cabinets?
Plywood is a good choice for kitchen cabinets because it is more stable in high-humidity environments and resists warping or cracking. It is also made from renewable wood sources and is, therefore, a sustainable material.
- Attractive and modern look
- Available in multiple decor options.
- High water resistance
- Suitable for shipbuilding (MED certified)
Are birch plywood kitchen cabinets durable?
Plywood is a good choice for kitchen furniture, such as cabinets and worktops, due to its inherent strength and durability, which are key considerations in a kitchen environment where the furniture is subjected to frequent use and varying conditions.
Layered Construction: Plywood is an engineered wood product made from three or more thin layers of wood veneers, or plies, that are glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to one another. This cross-graining technique reduces the risk of expansion and shrinkage, giving the plywood stability and reducing the likelihood of warping or cracking, which is essential in the kitchen where temperature and humidity can fluctuate.
Strength: Because of its layered structure, plywood is strong and can bear heavy loads. This makes it suitable for holding countertops, heavy kitchen appliances, or stacks of dishes in upper cabinets without bending or sagging over time.
Resistance to Moisture: While not completely waterproof, certain types of plywood, like marine plywood or those treated with water-resistant glues, are quite resilient against moisture. In a kitchen, exposure to steam and spills is common, and plywood’s ability to withstand this, to some extent, makes it suitable for such an environment.
Versatility in Finishing: Plywood can be finished with a variety of sealants, laminates, or veneers, which not only enhances its appearance but can also provide additional protection from moisture, heat, and scratching. Finishes like laminates or lacquers can further extend the life of plywood kitchen furniture.
Ease of Repair and Maintenance: Should the surface get damaged, it can be sanded down and resealed or refinished, which is a significant advantage over some other materials that when damaged, might need complete replacement.
What is the cost of fully bespoke plywood kitchen?
The cost of a fully bespoke plywood kitchen is influenced by various factors, and understanding these can help in estimating the overall budget for such a project.
Firstly, the size of the kitchen is a primary cost driver. Larger kitchens require more materials and labor, thereby increasing the overall price. If the kitchen has a larger footprint or requires more cabinetry, this will naturally lead to a higher cost.
Secondly, the type of components selected also plays a significant role in pricing. Bespoke kitchens involve custom-made cabinets, drawers, and items that can vary in price. High-end hardware, such as soft-close hinges and custom organizers, will add to the cost.
Similarly, the choice of finishes, like the aforementioned Fenix NTM laminates, Formica, Egger laminates, and additional options such as Corian or Ceramic cladding, also affects the final price.
Premium materials and finishes are more expensive but contribute to the durability and aesthetic of the kitchen.
Thirdly, the complexity of the design influences the cost. A kitchen with simple, straight-line cabinets will be less expensive than one with intricate designs, custom-built islands, or features like integrated appliances, which require more time and skill to construct and install.
Given these variables, bespoke plywood kitchens starting budget is around £15,000. However, most projects oscillate between £25,000 and £50,000. This price range accounts for a moderate to high level of customization and material quality. Very complex projects, which may include luxury finishes and extensive custom work, can exceed this range, reaching higher budgets accordingly.

How do I get started with my bespoke kitchen project?
Getting started is easy.
Simply contact us to schedule a consultation, and we’ll guide you through the design process, discuss your options, and begin the journey to your dream kitchen or wardrobe.
How long does it take to design and build a made to measure kitchen or wardrobe?
Lead times depend on the complexity of your project and our current production queue. In most cases, the full process takes between 2 and 6 months — from design and material planning through to manufacturing and delivery.
We also periodically offer discounts for customers who are happy to place their order well in advance. This gives us more flexibility in scheduling production efficiently and allows you to benefit from additional cost savings.
Each project is crafted from scratch using high-grade plywood and tailored precisely to your needs — which takes time, but ensures an exceptional end result.
Do you offer both full service and supply-only options?
Yes — we offer both.
You can choose our comprehensive service, which includes design, production, delivery, and installation, or opt for a supply-only solution if you already have your own installers or are managing the fit-out yourself.
Either way, your furniture will be made fully to order, with no standard sizes or modules — just tailored craftsmanship based on your space, needs, and materials of choice.
What types of plywood do you use, and are they environmentally friendly?
We primarily use high-grade birch plywood, valued for its strength, clean appearance, and durability. For specific design or budget requirements, we also offer oak-veneered plywood, moisture-resistant plywood, and other bespoke options.
All plywood we use is formaldehyde-free (E0 or E1 class) and sourced from FSC-certified suppliers, supporting responsible forestry and reduced environmental impact.
To enhance both durability and moisture resistance, every plywood component is finished with Adler water-based lacquer — a high-performance, eco-friendly finish that ensures long-lasting protection without compromising indoor air quality.

4. Budget Range
Having a budget in mind helps us recommend materials and designs that align with your expectations. If you’re unsure, we can guide you through options that fit different budget ranges.

A small selection of our completed projects features kitchens crafted from plywood.
Handleless Plywood Kitchens
Currently, the most popular style for plywood kitchens features a handleless design. This style is based on plywood carcasses, integrated with a recessed aluminium or colour-matching profile. Beyond its practical benefits, this design also offers a visually appealing effect.

How our bespoke plywood kitchens are manufactured?
Fully customizable in every aspect.
The same as all furniture in our offer, your kitchen is manufactured in our workshop by a team of experienced, detail-focused professional cabinet makers. We manufacture doors, carcasses, and worktops using different types of plywood, which can be oiled, waxed, varnished or laminated depending on the customer’s requirements. For those customers who would like to combine different materials to bring the value of their kitchen to a higher or slightly more cost-effective option. We can combine many different options, including.
Bespoke plywood doors

Our customers can choose from birch plywood doors finished with Fenix NTM laminates, Formica Laminates, Egger laminates, Corian cladding, Ceramic cladding, and an endless array of dye colors for use with both birch and oak veneers. Door sizes are fully flexible and are tailored to meet the priorities established during the design and consultation phase, unlike the constraints often found with mass-manufactured products.
Bespoke plywood carcases

Plywood cabinets crafted in our workshop are fully customizable. Carcasses can be constructed from birch plywood or oak-veneered birch plywood, and finished with oils, waxes, or lacquers available in various sheens and colors. Every single project is carefully discussed with the customer to ensure the cabinets are manufactured precisely according to their requirements in terms of form, size, and functionality.
Bespoke plywood worktops

Plywood is also a viable material for manufacturing worktops, making it one of the most durable options in the furniture market. We most often use various types of laminates to enhance durability. However, plywood can be combined with materials like Corian and ceramics to achieve an even higher specification for worktops. The thickness of these worktops ranges from 12 mm to 38 mm, with 24 mm being the most popular choice nowadays.
