Company

At IMDcabinets, we know that choosing the right kitchen cabinetry is a big decision. Our FAQs section is here to provide clear, detailed answers to the most common questions about our aluminum kitchens, durability, customization options, and installation process. Explore our FAQs to learn more about what makes IMDcabinets the perfect choice for a modern, non-toxic, and long-lasting kitchen solution.

01

How is an Aluminum Cabinet built?

Using our own proprietary system of powder coated aluminum profiles:

IMDcabinets is an innovative system based on extruded aluminum profiles which are powder coated. All aluminum components are clipped together. Our exclusive clip system combined with the powder coated finish allows IMDcabinets to avoid all glues or materials with any toxic content such as paint or varnishes. The clipped aluminum profiles also hide assembly components providing cleaner surfaces.

02

What is an extrusion?

Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. Aluminum is pushed or pulled through a die of the desired cross-section.

IMDcabinets has its very own proprietary dies to produce its profiles at different partner facilities in Europe and North America.

03

What is powder coating?

Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a “skin”. (source: Wikipedia). Powder coating therefore has no VOCs and is 100% non-toxic. Powder coating, as well as adding a protective layer that avoids natural occurring rust, allows for an unlimited variety of colours. Architects and design professionals love this feature!

04

Do aluminum cabinets feel cold?

No, they’re at the same temperature as the inside of your house. They are durable and robust and the soft close on the drawers and doors make their day to day use smooth and comfortable.

05

Do aluminum cabinets dent or scratch easily?

No, the powder coated finish on the cabinets makes it difficult to scratch and the thickness of the aluminum makes them very durable.

06

What countertops should I use?

You can choose any countertop you would like; natural stone, porcelain, quartz, recycled glass, butcher block to name some. Our cabinets are perfect for any of the countertops available on the market.

07

Are traditional hardware and accessories compatible with aluminum cabinets?

Yes, all the storage hardware, pull-outs, organizers, pulls and handles work on our cabinetry.

08

Can IMDcabinets be shipped safely to my house?

If I supply measurements can IMDcabinets take care of the design, manufacture and shipment of cabinets to any country?

Yes! We pack and ship anywhere in the world! Our innovative system and detailed instructions allow for your local professional to install the cabinets we design and manufacture for you.

09

Why would I choose an aluminum cabinet instead of a wood cabinet?

Aluminum is a healthy and sustainable alternative to wood. It is 100% non-toxic and will stand the test of time better. It’s elegant, modern and versatile, great for outdoors and indoors! It has an excellent quality-price ratio. Plus, they just look good!
