Cabinet Doors
At Filliols, our cabinet doors and drawer fronts are made using only the finest quality woods. Our standard varieties are listed below. For speciality woods or other custom options, please contact us for assistance.
ALDER - Alder is an elegant choice that delivers the warmth of cherry wood at a lower price. Fine grained with small knots and moderate grain variation, alder takes to darker stain beautifully. As a hardwood it is on the softer side, meaning care must be taken not to dent or damage it. For an even more rustic look you can chose selected knotty alder, which also warms up in color over time.
BEECH - Found primarily in northeast U.S. and Canada, beech is a heavy, pale-colored, medium-to-hard wood used widely for chairs and stools. It has a fine, tight grain and large medullar rays, similar in appearance to maple or birch woods. Beech wood has a high shock resistance and takes stains well.
CHERRY - In a class of its' own cherry has a contemporary look that shows you have made an investment in the quality of your cabinets. Cherry wood is a natural reddish brown color that will darken over time with exposure to light. It has characteristics such as pin knots, pitch pockets and mineral streaks, and takes darker stains quite well. We offer standard, knotty and stained cherry.
HICKORY - Hickory is a southern hardwood with unique grain patterns and bold color variation. This aggressive trademark is at its' best when finished with a natural clear coat. Stain can be used to mellow this natural beauty, bringing a bit of uniformity. We offer standard and knotty hickory.
MAPLE - Maple is a traditional, timeless choice that offers durability and strength at an affordable price. Stains can be used to accent its' subtle grain patterns, making it popular in a variety of colors. Due to its tight pore structure we use maple in all of our painted lacquer doors. We offer standard, knotty, natural and painter's grade maple.
LYPTUS - Lyptus is a South America hardwood created from a naturally occurring hybrid of two Eucalyptus species. Lyptus has a bold straight grain with shades that vary from dark red to light pink. It is our densest hardwood, making it very durable and has the advantage of taking dark stains very well. As a fast growing farmed wood, this species is a perfect choice for people seeking to lessen their environmental impact.
OAK - Oak's distinct grain patterns and durability give cabinets a traditional look that will stand up to the rest of time. Its' ability to absorb stain helps to accent its' familiar bold grain patterns. We offer red oak in standard, 1/4 sawn, rift and knotty, as well as standard white oak.
SAPELE - The sapwood of sapele tends to whitish or pale yellow and is distinct from the heartwood, which ranges in color from a medium to dark reddish or purplish brown. Sapele is lustrous and fine-textured, with an interlocked grain that is sometimes wavy, producing a narrow, uniform roe figure on quartered surfaces.
WALNUT - Prized in North America for high-end cabinetry and furniture, walnut provides strength, hardness, and durability without excessive weight. It has excellent woodworking qualities and takes finishes well. Walnut is light to dark chocolate-brown in color, with a straight grain in the trunk. We offer standard and knotty walnut.
