Start with the zone, not the product从区域入手，而非从产品入手
In Sarawak’s heat and humidity, material failure almost always starts at the wrong zone — a sink base, bathroom, laundry, a damp external wall or a poorly ventilated cabinet. Decide the zone first, then the budget, then the look.在砂拉越的高温与潮湿环境中，材料失效几乎总是从用错区域开始——水槽底柜、浴室、洗衣区、潮湿的外墙，或通风不良的橱柜。先决定区域，再考虑预算，最后才看外观。
The three families三大类别
Most cabinets come down to three constructions:绝大多数橱柜可归为三种结构：
- Moisture-resistant particleboard — the standard interior carcass for dry and semi-dry rooms.防潮刨花板——干区与半干区房间的标准内部柜体。
- Plywood (multi-layer) — stronger and more dimensionally stable; better for tall wardrobes and long runs. Same dry/semi-dry use.胶合板（多层）——更坚固、尺寸更稳定；更适合高身衣柜与长跨度柜体。同样用于干区/半干区。
- Aluminium (composite / honeycomb / full) — for wet zones: sink bases, bathrooms, wet kitchens and high-moisture areas.铝合金（复合/蜂窝/全铝）——用于湿区：水槽底柜、浴室、湿厨房及高潮湿区域。
Moisture-resistant is not waterproof防潮并非防水
A moisture-resistant board resists humidity better than ordinary board, and a good one is tested for low swelling — but it is not waterproof and it is not for standing water or direct splash. Those zones move to aluminium. Edge sealing, ventilation and water isolation matter as much as the board itself.防潮板材比普通板材更耐潮湿，优质的防潮板材还会经过低膨胀测试——但它并不防水，也不适用于积水或直接溅水。这类区域应改用铝合金。封边、通风与隔水的重要性，丝毫不亚于板材本身。
Edge banding caps the cut edge — water beads off and the core stays dry.
A raw cut edge wicks water into the core — the classic Sarawak swelling failure.
Emission grade is a separate choice释放等级是另一项独立选择
E1, E0 and ENF describe formaldehyde emission (a health/indoor-air rating), not moisture performance. They’re selectable to your preference — cleaner air is an upgrade, not a moisture fix.E1、E0 与 ENF 描述的是甲醛释放（一项健康/室内空气评级），而非防潮性能。它们可按你的偏好选择——更洁净的空气是一项升级，而非防潮的解决方案。
Key takeaways核心要点
- Zone first, budget second, appearance third.区域第一，预算第二，外观第三。
- Board / plywood for dry & semi-dry; aluminium for wet.板材/胶合板用于干区与半干区；铝合金用于湿区。
- Moisture-resistant ≠ waterproof; seal every edge.防潮 ≠ 防水；每一条边都要封边。
- Emission grade (E1/E0/ENF) is health, not moisture.释放等级（E1/E0/ENF）关乎健康，而非防潮。
Common questions常见问题

How do I choose between board, plywood and aluminium for my cabinets?我该如何在板材、夹板和铝合金之间为橱柜做选择？
Decide by zone first, then budget, then looks: moisture-resistant particleboard or plywood suits dry and semi-dry rooms, while aluminium is for wet zones like sink bases, bathrooms and wet kitchens. Plywood is the stronger, more dimensionally stable choice for tall wardrobes and long runs in those same dry or semi-dry areas.先看区域，再看预算，最后才看外观：防潮颗粒板或夹板适合干区和半干区，而铝合金则用于水槽底柜、浴室、湿厨房等潮湿区域。夹板更坚固、尺寸也更稳定，适合用在同样属于干区或半干区的高身衣柜和较长的柜体。
Is moisture-resistant board waterproof, so I can use it under the sink?防潮板是防水的吗？我可以把它用在水槽下方吗？
No. Moisture-resistant board resists humidity better than ordinary board and a good one is tested for low swelling, but it is moisture-resistant, not waterproof, and is not for standing water or direct splash. Those zones, such as the sink base, should move to aluminium, and every edge still needs sealing, ventilation and water isolation.不行。防潮板比普通板更耐湿气，好的板材也会经过低膨胀测试，但它只是防潮、并非防水，不适合用在有积水或直接溅水的地方。这类区域（例如水槽底柜）应改用铝合金，而且每一道封边仍需做好封边处理、通风和隔水。
Does choosing an ENF board mean my cabinet will also resist moisture better?选择 ENF 等级的板材，是否代表我的橱柜也会更防潮？
No. E1, E0 and ENF describe formaldehyde emission, which is an indoor-air and health rating, not moisture performance. Cleaner air is an upgrade you can select to your preference, but it does not fix a wet-zone cabinet, so pick the zone-correct material first and the emission grade separately.不会。E1、E0 和 ENF 描述的是甲醛释放量，属于室内空气和健康方面的等级，而不是防潮性能。更清新的空气是你可以按喜好选择的升级，但它无法解决潮湿区域的柜体问题，所以请先选对适合该区域的材料，再另外选择释放等级。
