Product Overview

What materials are used in making the cabinets?

We use a ¾” engineered furniture board with a TFL (Thermal Fused Laminate), HPL (High Pressure Laminate), and 3DL (Three dimensional Laminate) finish. As an alternate option we can offer NAUF (No Added Urea Formaldehyde) “moisture resistant core” material as well.

How are the cabinets assembled?

Solid wood dowel construction built to AWI (American Woodworking Institute) standards. Cabinet components are cut and machined on the most current, state of the art machinery for exact tolerances. They are clamped in a case clamp under pressure to be squared up when the backs are attached.

How are the drawers made?

We use ¾” front, backs, and sides that are glued and doweled together with the bottoms being ¼” material fully captured in dadoes. Our all metal side drawers have a ½” bottom.

What are the doors and drawer fronts made of?

Our standard is ¾” thick material. We offer (3) tiers of choices which could be from our Integrate line which is (HPL) High Pressure Laminate, Intrigue line which is (TFL) Thermal Fused Laminate, or our Inspire line which is which is a vinyl foil door with a three-dimensional laminate (3DL).

What are the features of the (3) different tiers?

  1. Integrate = (HPL) High Pressure Laminate
    High Pressure Laminate HPL Panels are produced by saturating multiple layers of kraft paper layers with phenolic resin. An additional protective overlay as well as the decor paper are placed on top of the kraft paper before pressing. These layers are all fused together with high heat and pressure and glued to the core resulting in a harder tougher surface. Only Table Tops always provides double sided HPL panels as shown here. We have found that paper backers on working surfaces such as tabletops, tend to warp over time and do not perform up to our standards.
  2. Intrigue = (TFL) Thermal Fused Laminate
    Thermally Fused Laminate TFL Panels are produced by fusing a resin-based sheet of decor paper directly to a core. There are no kraft paper layers used in TFL. Pressure and heat activate the resin-based sheet and create a cross linked bond with the core. This seal the core making it impossible to peel away. TFL panels have a lower cost, but potentially take longer to produce depending on color and pattern requested.
  3. Inspire = (3DL) Vinyl Foil with Three-Dimensional Laminate
    Vinyl applied with adhesive, heat, and pressure for a seamless easy to clean product, door, and drawer front.

What style offerings do you have for the doors and drawer?

We offer (5) styles of doors and drawer fronts. We have slab (HPL and TFL finish), five- piece shaker (TFL finish), classic (vinyl foil finish), shaker shallow (vinyl foil finish), and elegante smooth slab (vinyl foil finish).

What type of decorative hardware do your offer? (Handles / Pulls)

  • Brushed Nickel
  • Antimicrobial Copper by Cuverro®
  • Your Specified Selection

What is laminate?

The process of laminating is a technique of manufacturing where multiple layers of materials are combined to create added strength and stability. In the case of laminate layers, composed of kraft paper with a decorative sheet placed on top are bonded under heat and pressure to make a very durable surface that will last several years under normal use.

What are the design benefits of laminate?

Laminate can be designed into many patterns including competing materials such as wood, granite, marble, and even stainless steel.

This material can also be produced in large sheets, making it different from natural materials such as wood, marble, and tile, which all have size limitations. This allows for cleaner applications on counters and backsplashes for an ultra-clean look. Cutting and seaming are important considerations but they’re not as challenging with laminate. You can have larger sheets and better flexibility in matching and grouping patterns together.

How does the cost of laminate compare to other materials?

With all the design options available with laminate, its significant benefit is the price point. Laminate is the lowest price of all the counter materials on the market, making it appealing for several applications. When considering your project, durability is an important factor.

Laminate is heat and stain resistant and the newest styles also rate well against scratching.

What are the benefits of laminate?

There are many benefits of laminate. It is low-cost, budget friendly, low maintenance, durable, and there are many options to choose from.

How do you care for laminate?

In most occurrences, you only need a damp cloth and mild liquid detergent or household cleaner. You can also use a soft brush on the seams. Avoid using bleach since it can cause discoloration.

One of the best traits of laminate is that it doesn’t require maintenance such as reapplication of sealers, which can be frustrating. The new designs of laminate give you the same look as these materials without the high maintenance.

Do you offer countertops?

Yes. We offer a variety of countertop finishes:
● High Pressure Laminate .042 thick (on a core of your choice))
● Solid Surface with many design options and a renewable surface that is scratch-resistant.
● Granite surface
● Quartz with top-of-the-line quality, performance, and maintenance-free
● Stainless steel
