Wood Species

Each wood species has distinctive characteristics that will greatly affect the overall look of your cabinetry and your kitchen or bath. Choose a wood species that matches your unique style for natural wood beauty for years to come.

Cherry

Cherry is used mainly in traditional looks, but can also be used for an urban contemporary look on flat panel door styles. Cherry wood is synonymous with luxurious cabinets. The rich red highlights give the wood a distinctive appearance. Cherry wood will occasionally have tiny pin knots, pitch pockets and very small, dark streaks of gum. These features have fascinated woodworkers for centuries.

Oak

Authentic American Red Oak is used in traditional and country feel kitchens. Its hardwood properties make it ideal for lasting beauty. Oaks are open-pored and produce dramatic grain patterns, dark mineral streaks and very small, pink pin knots. Their bold grain and subtle-to-rich color
ranges provide the authority and character that make oak
the most widely used hardwood.

Thermofoil

Thermofoil is used in contemporary, casual and traditional looks. To recreate the popular raised panel appearance in a beautiful yet durable style, we use precision, diamond head routers to carve the double-step perimeter edge and center panel detailing from a solid slab of medium density fiberboard. Thermofoil doors and drawer fronts are covered in a strong, scratch resistant thermofoil that is thermally glued and vacuum-sealed individually.
