The Best Material for Your Garage Cabinets: Plastic, Wood, or Metal?

Garage Finisher Team • August 3, 2022

When it comes to garage cabinets, there are three main types you can choose: plastic, wood, and metal. Each material has its own benefits and drawbacks, which we will discuss below. If your garage needs an update, replacing your old garage cabinets with new ones is a great way to improve the look and functionality of your garage. Let's take a closer look at each type of garage cabinet material and why you should replace your garage cabinets.


The Three Main Types of Garage Cabinets

Each of the types of garage cabinets is best for different situations.


Plastic

These cabinets are usually the most affordable option. They're lightweight and easy to install, but they're not as durable as other materials. If you're looking for garage cabinets on a budget, plastic is a good option.


Wood

Wood garage cabinets are more expensive than plastic, but they're also more durable. Wood is a good choice if you want cabinets that will last a long time, and that will add a nice design touch.


Metal

Metal garage cabinets are the most expensive option.  However, unlike wood, metal can be easily scratched and dented. 


Why Replace Garage Cabinets?

There are a few reasons you might want to replace your garage cabinets. Maybe your old ones are worn out and need to be replaced. Or, maybe you're looking for an upgrade in style or function. Replacing your garage cabinets is a great way to improve the look and feel of your garage, and it can also make it more functional.
