Pre-Assembled Shaker Heritage Oak Specifications
Its elegant, straight grained appearance sets it apart from the more
common “cathedral grain” properties of plain sawn red oak. With inherent
enhanced stability, straight grain red oak is a more desirable, higher
value alternative to plain sawn for any red oak application. Contrary to
plain sawn oak, straight grain oak is cut for figure. Straight grain
oak still shows patterns of all cuts of oak such as plain, quarter and
rift sawn, especially in moldings and component pieces. The natural
characteristics described below are normal and should not be considered
defects:
- Oak colors range from light tans to deep reddish browns
- Streaks of yellow or black mineral deposits
- Rays, checks and flecks are non-uniform and become visible.
- Noticeable differences in color between open and close-grained areas
- Variations within a single door and among adjacent cabinets
Note: The Shaker Heritage Oak assembled cabinetry is priced without
finished sides (end panels) to save our customers money. Most customers
only purchase end panels on cabinets at the ends of their kitchen where
the sides are exposed, although you are more than welcome to purchase
finished ends for all of your cabinets.
***All single door base and wall cabinets will automatically be hinged
to the left unless otherwise specified. In addition, all end panels
(including refrigerator and dishwasher panels) will also be finished on
the left side unless otherwise specified. If you would prefer to have
single door cabinets hinged to the right or panels finished on the
right, please specify that under the Order Notes section upon
checkout***
