What are they made out of. I know the older ones where made from wood.

 

[Three Cedars Silkies]

As far as I know they are still made of wood.

MDF- multi-density-fiberboard with a plastic laminate over that.

 

[HatchCraft]

The new models are made from 1/2" solid plastic board.

 

[Sir Birdaholic]

No, still Laminated MDF, but you can now get clear plastic doors.

 

[HatchCraft]

No solid plastic.Go to gqf web site brand new product.

My humble appologies.

I just bought one a couple of months ago, & i didn't get that option!

Interesting... I wonder which of the two has better insulating properties.....

 

[Sir Birdaholic]

I would guess the plastic, since it's denser material.

Looks like they increased the heating element by 100 watts. Plastic has advantages but insulation may not be one of them.
