Oak Veneer Cabinets: Environmentally friendly meets Wonderfully Contemporary!
Popular and versatile is a good description for oak cabinetry. This time-honored species has been used extensively over the years in traditional cabinetry as veneer or in solid form. With contemporary cabinetry increasingly becoming desired for kitchen interiors, oak is once again leading the way. As environmental considerations continues to strengthen along with the availability of affordable and sustainable building materials, Oak Veneer kitchen cabinets are fast becoming the preferred choice for many environmentally conscious home improvement professionals and homeowners.
What is Wood Veneer?
Wood Veneer is a thin slice of wood that is applied to a base material. Rift-Cut Oak is a real wood veneer that is produced from the various species of oak. The benefit of rift-cut oak is its consistency. Oak's coarser natural texture results in a relatively defined straight grain that's more open and consistent. As it grows, oak develops what are called "medullary rays". These are portions of the wood which have a different cellular structure, and hence reflect light differently from the other heart wood. They radiate from the center of the oak log to the bark, and create semi consistent patterns on every door, just as you would experience with solid oak. With veneer cabinetry, consumers can choose from these striking grains in either horizontal or vertical patterns.
As with solid Oak, Rift Cut veneer cabinets offer a wide variety of finishes from White Oak Cabinets, Red (Cayenne), Natural, Grey, Brown, and Modern Black Kitchen Cabinets. As you will notice, these are not your traditional oak cabinets. Each of these colors can be used to create your vision of the perfect contemporary kitchen.
