subject: Hardwood Cabinetry Nothing Else Comes Close [print this page] Most cabinets you see today are made not out of plastic, not out of metal, but out of wood. Why is that? Well, it could be because of all the different types of woods there are out there (maple, oak, walnut, for example), or it could be because of the fact that wood can be easily crafted into pretty much any style and design. But with all the different choices of wood out there, how to make the right one?
The first thing you should look at is the quality of the woodwork, or in other terms, its durability and resistance to deterring conditions, such as moisture, temperature change, scratches etc.etc Some of the lower end types of woods include particleboard and fiberboard, and theyre characterized by their flexibility, softness, and lack of resistance to environmental hazards however, theyre a lot more affordable than their alternatives.
On the top end of the ladder, we have hardwood cabinets. Hardwood is not only the most resistant type of wood (proving to be extremely resilient when faced with heat, cold, moisture, and all kinds of other deterrents), but it is also used to craft some of the most exquisite styles and designs available when it comes to wooden cabinetry. Hardwood cabinets offer a massive amount of storage space, and come in many wood subtypes, such as light (pine), dark (walnut), and rich woods (butternut), meaning youre bound to find a set of hardwood cabinetry which will match, one way or another, with your room.
Hardwood cabinetry does not only outperform and outlast its counterparts, but it now also comes in ready-to-assemble format, making this material much more accessible than it was in the past for those with thinner bank accounts, but still wanting to provide style as well as quality for their cabinets.
