Caring for your Durostyle Doors
Durostyle (Thermoformed) doors are a popular choice for cabinets and other furniture due to their durability and versatility. Durostyle doors are created using a thermal laminate which is bonded under heat and vacuum pressure onto pre-moulded moisture-resistant MDF substrate. While Durostyle doors are durable, they still require proper care and maintenance to ensure they last as long as possible. In this article, we will discuss some tips on how to care for your Durostyle doors.
- Clean Regularly
Durostyle doors are easy to clean and maintain, but you must clean them regularly to keep them looking their best. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and warm water to wipe down the doors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning products as they can damage the surface of the doors.
- Avoid Excessive Heat, Steam and Moisture
Durostyle doors are made from a moisture resistant MDF, but as with any MDF product, are not waterproof. Care should be taken to ensure they are not exposed to high levels of heat, moisture, steam and humidity and that any accidental spills are wiped up immediately.
As with most types of kitchen cabinet doors, heat from appliances such as hobs, kettles and toasters can damage Durostyle thermoformed doors. Ensure that hobs (especially gas hobs) are not left on with nothing on them, and kettles and toasters are pulled out from underneath overhead doors and on-bench pantries before use.

If your Durostyle doors have significant damage that requires replacement, it is best to seek professional help. Contact your joiner or installer and allow them to advise you on the best course of action.
Overall, Durostyle doors are one of the most durable and versatile options for kitchen cabinet doors and furniture, but they still require proper care and maintenance to ensure they last as long as possible.
