Hinge Adjustment
MAPLE
Maple is a medium to hard wood with a straight, wavy or curly
grain. Popular for its durability, maple has a light, uniform
appearance that produces a smooth, clean look when painted
or stained. Maple wood inherently has a characteristic known as
a “bird’s eye” or “fiddleback” pattern in the wood. When
finished, it may have an uneven appearance, a varied sheen, or
a satiny look. This is the beauty of real maple that gives the
cabinetry its unique look.
OAK
With excellent durability and appealing grain markings, Oak is
one of the most recognizable species of wood. The dense texture
and coarse grain varies from straight to a distinctive sweeping
arch pattern. Timeless and flexible, Oak is a great cabinetry
choice blending beautifully with many different design styles.
PAINT
COLOR VARIATION
Individual distinctions are part of the beauty of any wood
product. These naturally occurring variations create a
sophisticated charm that makes your cabinets one of a kind.
Wood species in all finishes will naturally exhibit color variations
and changes depending on the type of soil it was grown in, the
weather or when exposed to different types of light and
environments over time. Such color changes are expected and
as such each door will be consistently unique.
MINERAL STREAKS
Mineral streaks are common and may form in the wood as the
tree extracts nutrients from the soil. These mineral deposits cause
blackish-blue streaks in the grain that may appear darker when
stained.
These natural occurring characteristics should not be considered
a defect or an irregularity with the product. We are confident you
will be pleased with your purchase of PCS cabinetry, supported
by a 5-year limited warranty.
Wood is in a constant state of expansion and contraction due to
temperature, humidity and other environmental factors. This
normal movement may cause some hairline separation at the
joints in the painted finish on cabinet doors. This is a natural
occurrence and does not weaken or diminish the structural
integrity of the joint. Due to the repeated impacts of everyday
use, wood may expand and contract differently from cabinet to
cabinet, showing variation in the visibility of the joint lines even
within the same cabinet.
