4 FAQs about Lifespan Comparison of Industrial Cabinets with a Depth of 1200mm Used in Schools

How long do kitchen cabinets last?

Kitchen cabinets endure a lot—heat, moisture, grease, and constant use. Typically, high-quality kitchen cabinets last 20 to 30 years, but cheaper materials might only survive 10 to 15 years. Install a range hood to manage heat and moisture. Wipe spills immediately to avoid water damage. Use shelf liners to protect interiors from wear and stains.

How long do wood cabinets last?

Solid wood cabinets (e.g., oak, maple) are the most durable, lasting up to 30 years or more. MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is less durable, prone to moisture damage, and typically lasts 10–15 years. Plywood offers a middle ground—durable, resistant to warping, and cost-effective.

Do cultured marble countertops have a shorter life expectancy?

Cultured marble countertops have a shorter life expectancy, however. Decks are exposed to a wide range of conditions in different climates, from wind and hail in some areas, to relatively consistent, dry weather in others. See FASTENERS & STEEL section for fasteners.

How does high frequency use affect cabinet life?

On average: High-frequency use, especially in kitchens or shared spaces, can significantly shorten cabinet lifespans due to constant stress on hinges, doors, and shelves. Cabinets made from lower-quality materials or those that are not maintained properly may deteriorate much faster under heavy use.
