CABINET CONSTRUCTION

• Particle board or pressed wood is NOT used, only high quality solid wood and wood veneers.
• The cabinet face frames are glued and assembled with pocket screws for structural integrity
• The cabinet interiors are constructed of 3/4" inch pre-finished maple plywood (standard- unless specified) or stained/painted to match the exterior.
• Finished cabinet ends can be panel less, have applied moldings, solid wood raised-panels integrated into the construction or have attached panels to match the doors.
• Your cabinets can be built using any wood species from Alder to Zebrawood.
• The exterior standard finish is conversion varnish unless specified. Paint, lacquer, or other finishes are available upon request.
  
• Because the cabinets are custom-made, all cabinets are created to meet your needs. Bring a photo of something you like or use your imagination, the possibilities are endless.

	Frameless Construction A frameless cabinet is constructed of 3/4" veneer core plywood. Sides, tops, bottoms, are 3/4" and backs are all 1/4". Each cabinet box is screwed together, and connected to one another to achieve the desired run on cabinetry. Base cabinets have a split top to make handling and installation easy. The front edges of the cabinets have a hot glued edge band of the same material to match the specified exterior.
	Face Frames Face Frame and Inset Face Frame cabinets are built exactly like the frameless cabinets. Once the desired run of cabinetry is accomplished, the face frames are glued and assembled with pocket screws for structural integrity. Then the face frame is glued, clamped and nailed to the cabinet box. The shelves are 3/4" veneer core plywood with hot glued edge band of the same material or solid wood nosing added when necessary. The 5 mm holes in the cabinet sides provide shelf adjustment. All cabinets have a 4" high and 3" deep toe-kick unless a different style is specified.
	Drawers and Doors The drawers are dovetailed 1/2" Hard Maple with matching 1/4" plywood bottoms unless specified. Blum full extension under mount slides with Blumotion are standard unless specified. The doors and drawer fronts thickness are available in 3/4" or 1". Usually a 5 piece raised panel door and front style is used but other options are available. Blum concealed hinges with integrated blumotion are standard unless specified. Other hinges are available for different looks and styles.
