What are the Benefits of an All-Wood Construction Kitchen Cabinet?
Our plywood cabinet boxes have greater dimensional stability, and high tensile strength for durability and endurance. And because our cabinets are more durable, it means that you are not going to need to replace them again and again, as you might if you bought lower quality cabinets.
What the Competition Offers:
Many cabinet manufacturers show a cheap price, but offer a product that is designed to rot out and need replaced again and again. Great business model for the manufacturer, but not much fun for the home owner.
- It is difficult for particle board to withstand high load.
- Particle board, HDF, and MDF that are hydroscopic, may exhibit the following characteristics: swelling
sagging over time
intolerance to humidity
out-gassing of formaldehyde

Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
When remodeling your kitchen, an alternative to replacing your cabinets entirely, is to reface them. With refacing cabinets, you can achieve a beautiful new kitchen while spending half the amount of money. You will literally be giving your cabinets a face-lift!
In the refacing process, existing doors, drawer fronts and hardware are removed and replaced with new ones. For cabinet doors, a wide variety of veneers and laminates are available to cover old surfaces. Other noticeable surfaces such as cabinet ends and frames are finished to match. Cabinet interiors are either refinished or repainted. Cabinet refacing is available in a variety of styles, materials and colors.
Neither the kitchen layout nor the amount of space available is affected by refaced cabinets. Doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are refaced and then put right back into their previous place, leaving your current arrangement untouched. A beautiful new look will be created, but you will still be standing in the same kitchen. If you are looking for a more drastic change, consider installing a few new cabinets to alter the look a bit more. In addition, new pull out or swivel shelves can also be installed to enhance the appearance and feel.
Not only does refacing cabinets improve the overall look of your kitchen, but it also greatly improves the durability of your cabinets. It helps protect and lengthen the life of your existing cabinetry, adding overall worth to your home.

Wood Kitchen Cabinets
Wood is one material that will never go out of style. It offers a rich classic appeal that comes in a variety of species. Depending on your own personal taste, you can create the look and feel most desired. The species of wood that you select will have the utmost impact on your kitchen cabinet final look.
Types of wood species include:
- Maple (light wood)
- Cherry (mid-dark)
- Oak (light wood)
- Pine (light wood)
- Alder (pale pinkish-brown to almost white)
- Birch (light wood)
- Hickory (colors ranging from white to a ruddy brown)
- Mahogany (rich in color, reddish)
- Walnut (dark brown to purplish black)
- Ebony (dark wood)
- Ash (light wood)
- Beech (light wood)
- Elm (light wood)
- Chestnut (light wood)
- Butternut (rich in color)
- Rosewood (rich in color)
- Teak (rich in color)
Staining Wood Cabinets
It is easy to darken woods by giving it a stain. A stain works by soaking into wood and bring an element of color to it. Keep in mind that it is difficult to try and lighten a dark wood so it is best to start with a wood containing hardly any color and work to darker levels from there. Clear finishes are also available.
Staining Tips:
- If you want the wood's grain to be seen, look for a transparent or semitransparent stain.
- If you want to hide the grain, look for an opaque stain.
- Try not to rely too heavily on the name of the stain because different woods absorb stains differently.
- You can hide low-quality wood with a coat of pigment-type stain (semi-opaque).
- In general stains do not protect the wood, but protective stains are available.
Additional Considerations:
Kitchens tend to be affected by humidity and temperature and your cabinets need to adjust to such changes in temperature. Solid wood often expands and contracts when exposed to such humidity, leading to warping. It may be a good idea to consider using hardwood veneer and laminate alternatives.
Hardwood veneer is a thin piece of solid wood that is typically applied to plywood or particleboard with glue to give it strength. It cost less than solid wood, its uniform in finish and its grain is very consistent. Using wood veneer in cabinet doors provides constancy by minimizing its shrinking and expansion in climate changes which ultimately eliminates cracking and splitting. Also, a stain can be added to blend doors to the rest of the cabinet structure.
Kitchen Cabinet Door Styles
The fashion in which a door fits over a cabinet box determines its fundamental classification. Doors are classified as being one of five types which include:
- Inset Cabinet Door<
- Lipped Cabinet Door
- Partial Overlay
- Full Overlay
- Tambour
Inset doors are designed to sit within the rails and stiles of the cabinet frame. They are tightly fitted between the front edges of the cabinet box. In its truest make, inset doors are only assembled to a framed construction, but recent designs use vertical pilasters to assemble the inset door on frameless cabinets. Some sort of a knob or door pull is needed to open the doors and drawers with this type of door.
Lipped doors are similar to inset doors in that a part of the door still sits within the cabinet frame. Along the entire back edge, a groove is made to fit over the face frame. This groove allows part of the door to rest in the cabinet and leaves the remaining part resting on the surface of the cabinet. Once again, some sort of a knob or door pull is needed to open the doors and drawers.
Partial overlay doors are mounted on the face frame. Overlay is a term used to describe the amount of the face frame that is covered by the cabinet door. The part of the frame that remains visible is often called the reveal. Partial overlay doors typically leave 1 inch of reveal on the face frame. This type of door is the most common type of cabinet door.
Full overlay doors practically cover the entire reveal. Less than one-eighth of an inch is left on the face frame between doors. Full overlay doors are generally found on frameless cabinets but they can still be assembled on framed cabinets as well. Hinges are concealed with this type of door and door knobs or pulls are needed to open the door.
Tambour doors consist of several separate pieces that are aligned together and attached to a flexible backing sheet. This sheet is then installed on a track that allows it to pull up and down like a shade and also slide around a corner.
Once you have selected the type of door you want, you’ll want to think about the different door styles that are available. First thing to focus on is the shape of the door. The options for door styles include:
- Recessed panel
- Raised panel
- Curved panel
- Beadboard panel
- Flat slab
Kitchen Cabinet Door Design and Decoration
Now that you have considered both the type and shape of your cabinet door, its time for you to consider how you plan to decorate the door. There are several ways to go about decorating your cabinet doors, and we have listed them for you below:
- Wood veneer - Many people will decide to use wood veneer not only for cabinet doors, but also for the sides of your cabinet box. You can then stain it to match each other. Wood veneer is a thin piece of solid wood that is typically applied to plywood or particleboard with glue to give it strength. It cost less than solid wood, its uniform in finish and its grain very consistent. Using wood veneer in cabinet doors provides constancy by minimizing its shrinking and expansion in climate changes which ultimately eliminates cracking and splitting.
- Stain - A great way to enhance, and add color to natural wood cabinets.
- Paint - If you decide to paint your cabinet doors, you have an array of colors to choose from. Painting also allows you to be creative and make unique effects. It can be made to look smooth, glossy, or utensils can be used to give it a special texture. Keep in mind, however, that paint will eventually reveal hairline cracks at the joints of solid wood doors. These cracks are formed when the wood expands and contracts.
- Plastic Laminate - Plastic laminate is another great way to decorate your cabinet doors. It is available in all kinds of colors, patterns, and textures. Many prefer to use plastic laminate because it is very resilient, stain-resistant, and easy to clean. Plastic laminates can be decorated with a stainless steel, brass, or wood trim or you can pay more for solid-color laminate.
- Polyester - Polyester can be used on cabinets in a similar fashion as paint. However, it is definitely more expensive than paint and requires much more time and effort to achieve your desired results. It can be either glossy or matte finish. The final results are often appreciated more so than paint finish because polyester fills the pores of the door giving it a solid look and feel.
- Stainless Steel - Stainless steel can bring a very sleek look to your kitchen. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and staining, low maintenance and is relatively inexpensive, but it does show fingerprints and scratches. The metal covers an inner core material which prevents it from sounding to clangy. It is also available in several colors.
- Glass - cabinets with glass can be ribbed or etched with a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal angle. Some prefer that the glass be ribbed or etched so that it hides what is behind the cabinet door. You also have the option of making the glass clear or colored.
