Moisture-Proofing Laundry Cabinets Around Washing Machines

Laundries are high-moisture zones. Washing machines, dryers, and laundry tubs create humidity that can cause standard particle board cabinets to swell and peel over time. To prevent moisture damage, it is crucial to use moisture-resistant (MR) MDF or HMR board. Additionally, applying a silicone seal to all joint boundaries, installing moisture barrier sheets above under-bench appliances, and ensuring adequate ventilation is essential.

When our qualified Auckland installers fit a new laundry suite, we treat all raw board cuts around plumbing lines with waterproofing sealant, preserving the lifespan of your cabinetry components.
