Character you can see. Details you can feel.
Materials & Finishes
Compare painted, natural wood and laminate directions before making your selections.

Three approaches to the character of your cabinetry
Finish selection affects appearance, material choice and care. Materials do not all respond the same way to paint or stain, and a screen reference does not replace the specific project selection.
- Paint-grade: supports color and a more uniform appearance; the suitable material and included preparation and finish are defined.
- Stain-grade: emphasizes the wood and its grain. Natural variation is part of the selection, so wood choice and tone are considered together.
- Laminate/Formica: offers surface colors and textures to explore. Design, edges, seams and intended use are reviewed.
Comparing options with the budget in mind
Start with how the space will be used and the appearance you want. Then compare finish, construction details and maintenance needs. Decisions should appear in the estimate and specifications; different options should not be assumed to have the same price.
- Do you prefer visible grain or a more uniform color?
- Which surfaces will be used most often?
- Which existing features should coordinate with the new work?
- Which finishes are included and which need a separate allowance?
