  • Green finish : our plywood cabinet bodies are finished with UV cured lacquer on an automated coating

line. UV cured lacquer provides two key benefits:

          » It's GREEN - UV Lacquer is solvent free which is know to contribute to global warming.

          » It's DURABLE - So durable it is the chosen finishing method for pre-finish wood flooring. A finish so tough that you could walk on it.

          » engineered wood cabinets:Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) with solid wood veneer was used for this cabinet line. MDF is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibers, often in a defibrator,combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure.MDF is more dense than plywood. It is made up of separated fibers,(not wood  veneers) but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and much more dense than normal particle board.MDF_sample
