The Cabinet World

Panelling or skins comes in many sizes and varriations like wall, base , end and island panel.

Wall pannel is a type of wall treatment that can be a useful way of adding detail or changing the overall aesthetic of a room.

Wall skins are sometimes comprised of veneers of wood.

These thin sheets are easily attached to walls to create a wood paneling effect.

An island panel is a material that is used to cover the substrate of a kitchen island.

There are multiple ways to construct a kitchen island, but the most cost effective method is to utilize base cabinets from the same manufacturer that made the rest of the run.

This ensures that doors, overlay and face frames will be identical to the installed cabinetry in the space.

The challenge that this plan presents is the exposure of the backside of the base cabinetry, which is typically made from a manufactured wood and not intended to be seen.

To conceal the substrate, a layer of material known as a skin is attached.
