Slab Cabinet Doors
As is true of raised panel cabinet doors, slab doors can be constructed in many ways, and the construction methods largely dictate the cost of the cabinets. One constant, though, is the fact that slab doors have no frames; they are solid slabs.
Thermofoil Cabinet Doors
Thermofoil cabinets are a unique type of cabinetry made using a vinyl that is heated and pressurized onto an MDF core. Usually only used for cabinet doors and drawer fronts, Thermofoil cabinets come in many colors, styles, and finishes — even made in textures that resemble solid wood.

Our specification team will work with you to provide not only the right materials to fit your project and budget but also to protect your specifications from design to execution.
