A modular kitchen typically needs carcass boards chosen for moisture exposure, a shutter board and finish, laminate or another surface material, edge banding, and hinges, channels and handles matched to the layout.
The checklist
| Item | What to decide |

| Surface finish | Laminate, veneer or other finish for shutters |
| Inner laminate | Finish for cabinet interiors |

| Hardware | Hinges, channels, baskets and handles |
Tips before ordering
