Specifications - Particleboard Case

Our most affordable cabinet cases are built of textured white melamine overlaid 5/8" industrial grade particleboard with a glue and dowel construction. The edges are taped with PVC applied with hot melt glue. Bottom edges of wall cabinet finished ends are taped white PVC. Cases are not available with laminate edges, unfinished wood veneer tape, or finished wood veneer tape. All cabinets have full depth adjustable shelves where indicated, and fixed shelves where indicated. Base cabinets are constructed for built-up counter tops. Toekicks are integral and unfinished.

Cabinetry panels are all 5/8" industrial grade particleboard with dowel joinery. Beech hardwood dowels are used for each connection to assure the highest structural integrity. Our assembly process includes wood glue in each dowel hole or dado and then each cabinet is machine pressed to assure squareness and tight joints at all connections.

Cabinet backs and drawer bottoms are 1/4" thick medium density fiberboard that is laminated on one side with melamine to provide a water resistant and highly wear resistant durable surface. Cabinet backs are secured to the cabinet by the use of dados on all four sides. The four-sided interlocking backs assure absolute squareness of each and every cabinet. Drawer bottoms also assure that each drawer is square when attached to the drawer box with resin-coated staples.

Drawer fronts, sides, and backs are 5/8" industrial grade particleboard that is laminated on two sides with melamine. The edges visible after complete installation are laminated with PVC edgebanding. This very clean all white melamine laminated drawer has proven to be especially suited for kitchen use.

Our hardware features a lifetime "If it breaks, it's replaced - no questions asked" manufacturers guaranty. Hinges open 107 degrees and feature 6-way adjustment. Drawer hardware features 100-pound load capacity with 3/4" extension. Hinge and drawer hardware upgrades are specified on page 12.

Due to different materials being used in the manufacture of the cabinet case, its doors, drawer fronts and accessory parts, the appearance of exposed white surfaces may not be exactly the same. The parts may appear to have various minor color differences, which may be intensified due to the shading and natural and artificial lighting present in the rooms in which the cabinets are installed.
