LUXE SERIES — DOOR MATERIAL DESCRIPTIONS

Due to the natural beauty and inherent variability of trees, any solid or veneer wood will exhibit some variation in color and grain, and no two pieces are alike. Exposure to sunlight, smoke, household chemicals and other environmental conditions will affect the appearance of the finish over time.

Cherry is known for its unique and beautiful color, grain patterns, and distinctive features. These include small pin knots, pitch pockets, and grain variations appearing as waves or curls. These features distinguish Cherry and are common in this species. The wood itself includes both sapwood, which ranges from white to yellowish, and heartwood, which has a rich reddish-brown hue. As Cherry ages it’s appearance will noticeably darken and mellow in color. This change occurs faster than other species, particularly with exposure to natural light. Cherry Maple is known for its typically straight, uniform grain pattern. While generally a consistent creamy white it can have slight variation from a bright white to a light pink or a light reddish brown. Maple will occasionally show small mineral streaks, bird’s eye, and wavy or burl graining. As maple ages and is exposed to light it will take on a slight change in color to an amber or yellowish hue. Maple

Character Cherry’s rustic appearance and unique characteristics are emphasized by randomly occurring variously sized open knots, pin knots, pitch pockets, worm holes and tracks, gum pockets and streaks, mineral stains and streaks, burls, blemishes, sapwood, cluster knots, and structural splits. The amount of character will vary across each door and cannot be guaranteed, making each cabinet and space unique. Like Cherry, Character Cherry colors can range from white to pink to a dark brown and it will show the effects of age faster than other species, causing its appearance to darken over time particularly with exposure to light. Character Cherry Character Maple’s overall rustic appearance and unique characteristics include randomly occurring, variously sized knots, pin holes, worm holes and tracks, gum and bark pockets, sugar tracks, heartwood, and mineral streaks. Cluster knots and open knots could also be a feature. The amount of character marks will vary across each door and cannot be guaranteed, making each cabinet and space unique. Character Maple Hickory is an exceptionally dense and strong hardwood which features a course, straight grained texture. It is characterized by striking, contrasting colors ranging from creamy white to dark brown and black, potentially within the same piece of wood. All tones of Hickory could include mineral streaks darker in color. Extreme random variation in color and grain is expected. Because of this color variation it is recommended to view a wide selection of samples to become familiar with the overall final aesthetic of purchased items. Hickory will darken over time particularly with exposure to light. Hickory

Oak

WellCore MDF: Using high pressure and temperatures, WellCore MDF is formed by combining wood fibers with a wax resin binder to form panels making it more dense than standard particle board. This makes WellCore MDF a durable, smooth surface for cabinetry. Medium Density Fiberboard Red Oak is an open-pored wood which varies from close knit vertical grain to prominent and arched patterns. Oak can have drastic color variation featuring dark mineral streaks, flecking, and small pink pinholes. Wellborn’s lumber processing produces product with straighter grains, and reduced widths of cathedrals than most other cabinet lines. Oak will darken over time particularly with exposure to light.

Heavy Textured Melamine Heavy Textured Melamine is created by laminating decorative paper to an MDF core then applying a deeply embossed thermo-structured surface that emulates natural ridges, and the deep furrows of wood forming a textured laminated surface.

Embossed Melamine Embossed Melamine is created by laminating decorative paper to an MDF core for a Thermally Fused Laminated or High Pressure Laminated surface with dual-sided textured grain and is considered a high-impact surface.

High Gloss Laminate High Gloss laminate is created by laminating decorative paper to an MDF core then applying a high gloss finish to the outer panel and a matte finish to the inside panel.

Matte Laminate melamine is created by laminating decorative paper to an MDF core then applying a super-matte finish with a silky-smooth touch. Matte Laminate

High Gloss Acrylic laminate is created by laminating decorative paper onto a high quality super-refined engineered MDF core with PUR glue. The high gloss acrylic has a mirror-like reflective surface. High Gloss Acrylic Laminate

Aluminum is characteristically lightweight and depending on the color chosen could also have high reflectivity, enhancing the illumination in your home. Aluminum
