Qualities of luxury kitchen cabinets
When looking for luxury kitchen cabinets for your home, there are a few things to consider. Who is the manufacturer of the luxury kitchen cabinets you have in mind? What types of wood do they use and what is the finishing process? What styles can they produce and are their any special features they offer in their line of luxury kitchen cabinets?
Who makes luxury kitchen cabinets?
The quality and reputation of a cabinet manufacturer does make a difference when selecting luxury kitchen cabinets. Kraftmaid and Medallion are two manufacturers offered by American Vision Kitchens because both of these manufacturers offer lifetime warranties on their products, both have impeccable reputations for quality in wood selection, craftsmanship, stains and finishes, and durability. Kraftmaid is the largest cabinet manufacturer in the United States. American Vision Kitchens carries only the high-line cabinets offered by Kraftmaid. The craftsmanship offered in this line of cabinetry along with the ones from Medallion are the finest available. These cabinets define luxury kitchen cabinets.
Wide variety of wood species provides you the luxury kitchen cabinets you want
Kraftmaid offers the largest variety of wood species over any other cabinet manufacturer. Some of the most popular wood species offered are maple, hickory, oak, cherry, birch, and various laminate styles. Below are some general characteristics of each of these types of wood.
- Maple - This wood is typically off-white in color and may have some hues of yellow-brown or pink. This wood has a close grain structure and is strong.
- Hickory - This wood tends to have flowing grain patterns with variations in color. This open-grained wood is strong and can have random specks, streaks, or burls.
- Oak - This wood has a distinct open grain that ranges in color from reddish brown and yellow to white.
- Cherry - This wood is considered to be one of the most elegant of wood types. Cherry is multi-colored hardwood with a pinkish-brown hue that occasionally includes shades of white, pink, or gray. Cherry will darken with age.
- Birch - This wood is not as hard as some of the other choices. It has a distinct moderate to broad grain pattern that can be straighter or wavy. The outer wood color is from white to light yellow, while the inner wood is medium to dark brown or even reddish-brown.
The finishing process of luxury kitchen cabinets should last a lifetime
Consider the finishing process on the luxury kitchen cabinets you are about to purchase. Kraftmaid uses a 14 step process on their cabinets which literally seals the wood pores with resin. This creates an extremely hard wood surface, which protects it from damage from everyday use. The stains are sealed under this coating, which protects and preserves their brilliance. Medallion offers custom finishes on their cabinets such as distressing and antiquing. Both of these high-line cabinets can be purchased from American Vision Kitchens.
