Door and Drawer Styles - In Brief

The choice that has the most effect on the look and feel of your kitchen is the type of material, the colour, and the style of your cabinet doors. To better explain the options we offer, we divide them into two categories: Wood and non-wood finishes.

WOOD
		Flat Panel	Slab	Raised Panel	Glass Mullion	Exotic Wood Veneer

Non-wood finishes offer a greater selection of colours, construction, and shapes generally at a lower price. Our wood cabinets offer the rich, authentic feel of real wood in your home. The type or "species" of wood has a big impact on the finish and look of a kitchen, and there is much more information on the wood species that we offer on our "Characteristics of Wood" page.

By "style" of the door we mean the manner in which it is constructed, as well as the the shapes or profiles of the edges and the "rails." Examples of door styles are '5 piece construction', slab, shaker, and glass mullion.

The material may be a solid wood such as maple, oak, or cherry. It may be a wood veneer, or the wide selection of colours and patterns offered in non-wood materials like PVC, melamine, or laminate.

NON - WOOD
