Solid natural timber is primarily utilized for face frames, 5-piece shaker door stiles and rails, drawer fronts, and dovetail drawer boxes. All lumber is kiln dried to a stable 8% to 10% equilibrium moisture content (EMC) to eliminate warping or seasonal cracking.

• Russian Birch (FAS Grade): Extremely tight grain, exceptional tensile strength, absorbs stains uniformly without blotching.
• American Red Oak: Distinct cathedral grain patterning, rugged scratch resistance, ideal for classic stained collections.
• Hard Maple: Fine texture, ultra-dense grain structure, perfect for smooth baked enamel paint and translucent stains.

Plywood represents the industry benchmark for cabinet carcass boxes. Composed of multi-ply cross-laminated birch veneer cores, our plywood panels offer superior screw-holding power and unmatched resistance to humidity and moisture deflection.

• Side Panels: 1/2" thick AB-grade birch veneer core with UV clear coat interior.
• Adjustable Shelves: 3/4" full-depth plywood to guarantee zero sagging under heavy dishware.
• Back Panels: 5mm or 1/2" captive plywood with solid wood hanging rails for secure wall anchoring.

For large commercial multifamily projects with rigorous cost targets, CARB P2 certified furniture-grade particleboard surfaced with thermally fused laminate (TFL) melamine paper provides an economical, wipe-clean, and highly uniform solution.

• Zero VOC emissions compliant with CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI.
• Finished with 1.0mm heavy-duty PUR edge-banding to seal against water vapor.
• Available in woodgrain textures, linen patterns, and pure white melamine.

Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF) is the preferred engineering substrate for center door panels and 1-piece CNC routed shaker doors. Because MDF lacks natural grain direction, it does not expand or contract with ambient room humidity, preventing hairline paint cracks along joint seams.
