What is a Base Skin?
A base skin in cabinets is a thin piece of material, usually made of wood or a wood-based composite, that is used to cover the exposed side of a base cabinet. It is typically installed when the base cabinet is situated against a wall or another cabinet, and is used to create a finished look to the cabinet. A base skin is usually designed to match the style and color of the cabinet it is covering, and can be ordered as part of a custom cabinet order or purchased separately. It is typically available in a range of sizes and finishes to accommodate different cabinet dimensions and design styles.
In addition to providing a finished appearance, a base skin can also help to protect the cabinet from scratches, dents, and other damage. It can also help to improve the overall durability and longevity of the cabinet by providing an additional layer of protection. Overall, a base skin is an important component of a cabinet installation that can help to enhance the appearance and functionality of the space.
