If the OP HAS as you say made up their mind why come onto this site for advice
... One thing I want to avoid is te ieitating plastic strips that are ironed on to the side and which invariaby peel off after a short period.
Anyway, the OP made his choice, he doesn't want glued on edging...
if you want to avoid iron on plastic strips (edgebanding) then you need solid wood kitchen doors, or maybe foil wrapped doors, which are doors wrapped in plastic.
No need to spend tens of thousands... probably get what you want from about 8K to 15K, depending on lots of things.
Have you considered a framed kitchen? Framed kitchens are not edged in veneer as the door sits inside a 40mm framework to match the doors. These are available from most kitchen suppliers and are very popular at the moment. My Aunt in Wicklow had one supplied and fitted by Egan's furniture in Co Leitrim.
I am a kitchen manufacture and the internal shelves can have a piece of solid wood glued to them. I know that some people do not want to pay for an inframe kitchen so we put 60mm deep solid frame for the hinges and 10mm solid slips on shelves, tops and bases of the units. I would not agree with lamboard at all it bows and twists as mentioned above. It is a selling point for kitchen manufacturers to add costs to the kitchen when it only cost €50 for a sheet of 8*4 as opposed to €20 for a melamine finish. This looks like a lot but in the overall material costs of a kitchen it adds €200 but people are charged way more. Also I see manufacturers using this to make painted kitchen doors! A definite no no, any knots in the wood will change the colour of paint on the doors over time.yes but the internal shelves would be edged
