Wood Types
MAPLE
Maple is a strong wood that is primarily off-white in its raw state. However, maple sometimes contains light hues of yellow-brown and pink as well as light tan or reddish-tinged streaks that darken with stain. Typically straight-grained, maple can be wavy or even curly. Hard maple offers more uniformity than other wood types, making it ideal for living spaces that feature a clean, streamlined appearance.
CHERRY
Cherry is a rich, multi-colored hardwood, often used in fine furniture. In its raw state, cherry has pinkish-brown hues with occasional shades of white, green, pink or grey. Small gum pockets, streaks, pin knots and figures are common wood characteristics. Natural or light stains accent the color variations in cherry, while very dark stains soften its complexity. All cherry wood naturally darkens or "mellows" with age.
OAK
Oak has a prominent, open grain ranging in color from white, to yellow, to reddish brown. Sometimes streaked with green, yellow or black mineral deposits, red oak's strong grain often varies from closely knit to a distinctive, sweeping arch pattern.
HICKORY
Hickory is a strong, open-grained wood that is known for its flowing grain pattern and dramatic variation in color. Hickory often contains random pecks, burls and mineral streaks. A single hickory door might vary from light to deep brown when finished in light or natural stains. Darker stains will mildly tone these color variations, but these very characteristics make each hickory kitchen or bath unique.
RUSTIC HICKORY
Rustic Hickory is a strong, open-grained wood that is known for its flowing grain pattern and dramatic variation in color. Hickory often contains random pecks, burls and mineral streaks. A single hickory door might vary from light to deep brown when finished in light or natural stains. Darker stains will mildly tone these color variations, but these very characteristics make each hickory kitchen or bath unique. Rustic hickory may include some combination of open knots, wormholes and mineral streaks reflecting the inherent beauty of the natural characteristics of wood.
THERMOFOIL
Thermofoil cabinet doors feature a flawless, silky-smooth surface. Thermofoil material is applied to medium-density fibreboard (MDF) using an intense heat and pressure-bonding process to ensure durability. Made of laminate, thermofoil finish provides a uniform look from door to door and is easy to clean.
