Choosing The Right Wood Cabinet
Wooden cabinets are available in an infinite selection of door style, finish and decorative enhancement that adequately allows to customize the home or office. The wooden cabinets are available in several finishes such as amber, burgundy, natural, white etc. and all the stains are hand wiped to bring out the natural luster and beauty of the wood.
Oak is a light to medium toned open-grained hardwood. You can find oak cabinets in white, yellow and red varieties and the tone ranges from cool to warm within these colors. The texture of oak is very grainy, so it is best suited for country and traditional kitchen decors rather than contemporary looks. Oak is a durable wood and is usually less expensive than cherry and maple.
Maple is a strong hardwood with a more subtle grain than oak. Although the graining is toned down, it’s also more interesting since it’s not uniform in shape. Maple is a popular choice for hardwood floors as well as cabinets. The look of maple wood cabinets is adaptable to both contemporary and traditional home decor styles. Maple cabinets are available in creamy light to rich dark shades and many different room looks are possible.
Cherry wood cabinets tend to have an elegant look and the price often reflects that. Cherry is a high quality hardwood used to make upscale furniture including fine cabinetry. The graining in cherry wood is pronounced and this is considered an advantage by many people, although some prefer more subtly grained woods. Cherry cabinets are available in medium toned reddish colors to very dark browns. The colors in cherry wood may be inconsistent.
Pine is a light colored wood with darker knot holes in it. Pine wood cabinets have a very natural, rustic look, so they are suitable for country rather than contemporary decors. Pine cabinets are often the least expensive type of wood cabinets, but they are not as durable as other types as pine tends to dent and scratch quite easily. This may just add to the rustic appeal in a country cottage look, yet in other settings, it may detract from the decor scheme.
Hickory cabinets work well for those who like wood with inconsistent light and dark patches, as minerals cause streaks in hickory wood. Hickory is rustic looking, yet heavy, strong and very durable. Hickory cabinets work best when a top quality, yet informal appeal is wanted. Hickory cabinets usually cost less than cherry cabinets.
Wood exudes a rich beauty to the cabinets, reflecting the distinctive look found in natural wood. Wooden cabinets are carefully assembled to exact specifications and are hand crafted with care throughout the entire process of selecting wood, to applying the final coat of finish. For lasting beauty, sealer and topcoat is applied, which provide a durable finish and are resistant to water and household chemicals.
