  • Our standard plywood construction
    • Consist of ¾” sides, tops, bottoms, stretchers and shelving and a 1/2” back panel which is fully captured on four sides
  • Cabinets are doweled and glued
    • Before being assembled, cabinets are doweled and glued using an automated case clamp to ensure a rigid cabinet that is true and square
  • The finishes
    • 100% solid, modified epoxy acrylate that is cured by ultraviolet light. This clear finish is extremely durable, and brings out the natural warmth of real wood grain surfaces
  • Plywood core
    • Our core is 2 step veneer, or Calibrated Blank Construction, which takes more time to construct, and produces panels that are consistent in thickness within a tolerance of 0.5mm
  • Designated NAF (No-Added-Formaldehyde)
    • Free from all formaldehyde resins and designated NAF (No-Added-Formaldehyde), the veneer cored panels contain soy-based adhesives and exceed California Air Resource Board and USGBC LEED Criteria
