The beauty of custom cabinets is having options
available to fit your lifestyle and the design of
your home. Clients may select from numerous kinds
of woods and materials to have their cabinets built
from and also options in door style and finish.
Alder
Its straight and close grain has made alder a
popular choice for fine cabinetry and furniture.
Colors of this medium-density hardwood vary from
white to tan to pinkish-brown. The grain pattern
shows very minimally in its uniform texture, though
visible characteristics may include pin knots
and mineral streaks. Alder mirrors cherry in its
darker finishes, giving it a rich traditional
or transitional look.
Birch
Birch is a subtle contemporary and close-grained
hardwood, whose colors go from cream to reddish-brown.
Its texture is fine and even, and the grain is
often straight but can also come in wavy or curly
patterns, mirroring maple. With a smooth paintable
surface, birch can be stained to resemble mahogany
or walnut, but is typically at its best when left
natural and sealed with a clear coating.
Cherry
Cherry wood cabinets, with a fine to medium grain
pattern, provide an elegant look that is suitable
for contemporary or traditional styling. It is
moderately hard and strong, and resists both warping
and checking. While usually pinkish-brown in color,
there are also shades of off-white, green, and
even gray. An American classic, cherry darkens
beautifully with age and contains occasional knots,
which gives it a unique beauty.
Laminate
Low pressure laminate used in the furniture industry,
allows for contemporary urban-loft styling, and
easy-care cabinet attributes such a cleaning and
wearability. You can obtain the look of wood with
the printed maple close woodgrain pattern and
simple melamine material at an affordable cost.
Maple
Cabinets in maple, a strong hardwood known for
its close, uniform grain. Treasured by furniture
and cabinet makers for years, the fine texture
of maple lends itself well to both contemporary
or traditional styling.Maple wood might occasionally
include curly or wavy variations in the grain
pattern. Colors range from light tan or cream
to yellow to light reddish-brown.
Oak
The prominent open grain pattern and textured
surface of oak cabinets make it a natural choice
for those interested in a more traditional or
casual country look. This hardwood is heavy-grained
and durable, and its visible characteristics include
mineral streaks and pin knots, with it's attractive
red or white oak color tones.
Plantation Hardwood
Plantation Hardwood is a moderately heavy timber
with a color range of pale cream to yellowish-brown.
Its grain is mostly straight, which combines with
other unique markings to create clear patterns.
Plantation Hardwood's adaptability to machining
and acceptance of paints and other finishes make
it ideal for traditional or transitional furniture
and cabinetry.
Thermofoil
Milled from vinyl wrapped material over fiberboard,
thermofoil cabinets offer contemporary styling,
exceptional durability and wear properties, as
well as superior cleaning features. Thermofoil
is applied to cabinetry frames, giving perfect
door-to-frame match in comparison to painted frames,
which vary in color. |
