Kitchen Cabinets Springfield IL - Wood Characteristics

Wood kitchen cabinets have a unique character all their own. Each piece of wood used for Central Illinois kitchen cabinets is entirely unique - just as no two trees are exactly the same. Soil and climate affect the growth characteristics of wood. The finest hardwoods have certain natural characteristics that cannot be hidden with a finishing process. These characteristics occur due to the fact that wood is a natural product and is affected by weather, climate, insects, birds, soil makeup and natural growth patterns. These should not be considered as defects, but rather they add to the natural beauty of the wood. Further, the natural expansion and contraction of wood products, due to atmospheric conditions such as temperature and humidity changes, may cause the joints to slightly separate. These expansion joints are more evident in natural, light, or painted finishes and are not considered defects; rather, they tend to make kitchen cabinets Springfield IL stand out in a beautifully unique way. We use the highest quality wood for all of our Central Illinois kitchen cabinets.
