GLOSSARY OF TERMS & CONDITIONS

MATERIALS AND FINISH TERMS:

The Dealer is responsible to their clients to be an educational resource for conveying the characteristics of the different materials used in
the construction of our cabinetry products.

Wood graining differences, as well as normal color change can be expected in wood finishes, melamine’s, and painted surfaces. Different
wood species in all finishes exhibit color changes when exposed to different types of light. Plywood, veneer, and MDF panels and
accessories will stain differently than hardwoods and will vary in color, graining, sheen, and tone depths. All wood species will exhibit other
characteristics, including knots, pinholes, sap runs and darkening with age. Here are the characteristics specific to individual wood
species, Melamine’s, and various finishes:

TEXTURED MATTE MELAMINES:
Matte Melamine is a hard thermally fused paper/resin coating that is bonded to an engineered core and edge banded. The same material
will be found on both the front and back of doors and drawers with coordinating PVC edge band on the sides. Matte Melamine is highly
durable and resistant to scratches and staining. It’s available in a variety of natural looking woodgrain, leather, and concrete-like textures.
These doors have an antibacterial coating designed to reduce bacteria living on surfaces.

PET WITH LACQUER FINISHES:
Lacquer is dried using UV technology making it extremely durable. Lacquer is typically applied over a film or foil “PET” surface
(Polyethylene Terephthalate) the finish can range from ultra-matte to high gloss. The surface is bonded to an engineered core with a
lacquer surface on the front and a matte back. Edges will have a coordinating PVC edge band. These doors have an antibacterial coating
designed to reduce bacteria living on surfaces.

THERMO STRUCTURED SURFACE (TSS)
TSS is made to look like a textured surface with greater color uniformity, durability and easier maintenance. The wood grain surface, which
is bonded to an engineered core, is less susceptible to humidity and warping. TSS cabinetry is an affordable option that lends itself well to
modern kitchens and loft-style living.

MAPLE WOOD
Maple is a close-grained hardwood that is predominately white to creamy white in color, with occasional reddish-brown tones. Maple
typically features uniform graining as compared to other wood species. Characteristic markings may include fine brown lines, wavy or curly
graining, bird`s eye dots and mineral streaks. The natural characteristics described below are normal and should not be considered
defects:
