What to know about Cabinets in West Palm Beach
In West Palm Beach, the warm, humid climate brings unique challenges when it comes to cabinetry. Because wood naturally absorbs moisture from the air, it tends to expand during periods of high humidity. When the air dries out, the wood contracts. Over time, this constant swelling and shrinking can cause issues like warping, cracking, and damage to the cabinet’s finish. High moisture levels can also encourage mold and mildew growth, especially in areas like kitchens and bathrooms that don’t always have perfect ventilation.
Choosing the right materials and finishes is key to building cabinetry that lasts in South Florida’s environment. Hardwoods like maple, cherry, and oak are often selected because they are less prone to moisture-related damage. Applying quality, water-resistant sealants also helps protect cabinets against humidity. To further extend the life of wood cabinetry, maintaining indoor humidity between 35% and 55% with dehumidifiers or a properly managed HVAC system can make a big difference. Good ventilation in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms also helps reduce moisture buildup and protects cabinetry over time.
