Top 10 Characteristics of Our High Quality RTA Cabinets
Every aspect of our cabinet construction is designed for exceptional durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
SHERWIN-WILLIAMS 14-Step Finishing Process
All of our wood doors and drawer fronts receive SHERWIN-WILLIAMS's 14-step finishing process, resulting in one of the finest finishes in the industry. From the initial sanding to the final finish application, each piece of cabinetry is made to your exact specifications by our skilled craftsmen.
All-Plywood Construction
Cabinet boxes are typically built of plywood. The most robust cabinets have full plywood sides and backs to stay square during delivery and installation, handle the weight of heavy countertops, and resist damage from moisture.
Dovetail Construction
All of our shaker cabinets are required use of dovetail construction. A process that involves plywood side panels to perfectly interlock with a solid wood face frame through corresponding dovetail grooves. This highly resilient technique introduced to the market guarantees that cabinet lines are secure, strong, and long-lasting.
Anti-Warp Structures
The anti-warp component involves the use of plywood panels comprised of rigid reinforcement beams. By applying the beams with a dovetail construction technique to secure all components, our cabinet meets this standard ensuring a strong, reliable build that is resistant to distortion.
Corner Blocks
To ensure a unified and organic design build, our RTA cabinet lines with plastic corner blocks, which keep the purity of cohesive construction.
Treated & Finished Cabinet Interiors
Treated and finished cabinet interiors are another significant feature, as they produce a clear statement of quality and attention to detail. As opposed to manufacturing with an applied lining, our vigorous top treatment techniques create a refined and durable design that is free of bubbling, peeling and chipping.
Solid Back Builds
For superior structural longevity, the back of a cabinet is constructed from one piece of solid half-inch plywood. Our cabinet backs with a strong and single piece of plywood to ensure durable strength and dimensional stability.
Soft-Closing Hinges
Our RTA cabinets use of compact hinges with built-in, soft-close mechanism providing an impeccably gentle and fluid cabinet function.
Full-Extension Soft Closing Drawer Glides
