Aero Kitchen and Bath – Custom Kitchen Cabinets and Renovations
Thermofoil Cabinet Doors
What Thermofoil Actually Is
A vinyl film pressed onto a machined MDF core under heat and vacuum, so it wraps the face, the profile and the edges in one continuous skin. There is no edge band to lift and no seam at the corner for moisture to find. That is what makes it hold up in a busy kitchen.
Where It Earns Its Keep
Family kitchens, laundries, mudrooms and rental suites. It wipes clean, it resists staining, and it costs less than a painted or solid wood door in the same profile. If the kitchen takes a beating and the budget is real, this is usually the answer.
Colours and Profiles
Dozens of colours, including woodgrain prints. Slab, raised panel and shaker profiles, plus the other alternatives, all shown above with their reference numbers.
What to Know Before You Choose
Thermofoil cannot be refinished. A painted door can be resprayed in ten years; a thermofoil door gets replaced instead. Against the cost of a full respray that is less of a drawback than it sounds, but it is worth knowing before you choose.
Heat is the one thing to keep away from it. The oven guidance in our care guide matters here, particularly around a self-cleaning cycle.

Common Questions
What is thermofoil?
A vinyl film heat-pressed over an MDF core, wrapping the face and edges in one piece with no seam at the corners.
How does it compare with painted MDF?
Same MDF core underneath. The difference is the surface: thermofoil is a film pressed over it, painted MDF is sprayed. Thermofoil costs less and cleans more easily. Painted MDF can be matched to any colour and can be refinished later.
Does thermofoil peel?
The doors are built to resist cracking, chipping, staining and warping. Sustained heat is the thing to be careful with, so follow the oven guidance in our care guide.
Can I get a woodgrain?
Yes. Several of the finishes above are woodgrain prints.
Is there a warranty?
Cabinetry is covered for 5 years, and hinges and drawer glides carry a lifetime warranty through our suppliers. Full warranty details.
