There are three kinds of materials of PVC cabinet board for cabinet boxes: Solid Wood, Plywood and Particle Board.

Solid Wood PVC cabinet board
Way back in the day solid wood was the only choice for cabinet box construction. It’s not used much today because it is expensive and solid wood tends to warp and twist easily, especially in humid environments. Its really just not a good choice for kitchen cabinet boxes.

Plywood PVC cabinet board
Plywood is a composite material, similar to particle board, but made differently. Unlike particleboard (made of wood chips / wood pieces), plywood is made of thin sheets of wood glued together to make one sheet. One of the things that impacts the quality of a plywood is the number of layers it is made from. Plywood is commonly made out of lighter wood, in many cases lighter than particle board which can make it easier to handle. Another factor in the quality of plywood is the type of wood used in each layer. Plywood is often more expensive than particle board so to cut costs some companies are using a thin outer layer of higher costs wood and using lower costs softwoods in the interior of the plywood. You may automatically assume that your plywood would absorb less water than particle board but you would be wrong! Water can actually absorb faster into plywood than particleboard. Plywood used to be a economical choice, however these days cabinet grade plywood is quite expensive and it looks like recent tariffs will only increase the cost. Plywood comes in all kinds of varieties, some high quality, some low quality and everything in between
Softwood Plywood – low quality used in lower cost cabinets
Hardwood Plywood – “cabinet grade” use in better cabinets
Tropical Plywood – low quality softwood used in lower cost cabinets
Plywood is graded from A to D with A being the highest grade (free from knots and defects)
It can be very difficult to tell the difference between softwood and hardwood plywood. Price is usually the best indicator.

PVC Cabinet Particle Board
Particle board has been around since the mid 50’s. It was first made in a factory in Bremen, Germany during the second world war. The first particle boards were expensive and not very durable. Today’s particle boards are formed by using compression and temperature to make a much harder consistency. Many manufacturers are moving to high quality particleboards in their cabinet construction because the material cuts and shapes more consistently, does not twist or warp like plywood and is a more uniform thickness than plywood. Like plywood, particleboard comes in several varieties.
15# Particle Board (the density is 15 pounds per cubic foot), typically used in furniture from Ikea, Walmart etc…
45# or industrial grade particle board (has a density of about 45 pounds per cubic foot) uses waterproof glues and resins to bond the particle together.
