For those looking to add a little extra oomph to their kitchen, AyA offers a variety of different options
to help upgrade your space. Not to be confused with accessories or ornamentation, upgrades
apply strictly to how the kitchen is built (boxes, doors, drawers, hinges & finishes). Below are just a
few of our top choices for upgrading your kitchen.
AyA customers have a choice of four options when it comes to drawers: standard, European double-walled, plywood
or solid beech dovetail. For a contemporary European look, our European double-walled drawer system has an antislam mechanism and full extension rollers that allow total interior access. Both wood dovetail drawer options run on
state-of-the-art European anti-slam slides for operational excellence with the elegance of wood.

The soft close revolution has moved into a new phase with the introduction of
soft close hinges. AyA’s integrated soft close hinge is a must have item in any
kitchen. They have a concealed and completely integrated anti-slam
mechanism that ensures a soft, gentle close and also works as a safety feature
with children.
Each of AyA’s upgraded drawer systems also feature a soft close mechanism
that gently pulls the drawer in the last 4-5 inches, in slow motion, to a complete
close. Silent and sturdy, these drawers are some of AyA’s most popular
upgrades.
EVO GREEN UPGRADE
AyA launched its Green Design initiative in early 2007 with a
premium line of no added urea formaldehyde plywood
cabinets. In 2008 AyA launched EVO™, an extremely
affordable no added urea formaldehyde alternative to its
certified low emission standard line of cabinetry. All EVO™
cabinets are made with only EPP certified (Environmentally
Preferable Product) 100% post industrial wood fiber particle
board. AyA’s commitment to healthy environments also
includes the use of only low HAPS (hazardous air pollutants)

Forest management ensures that the harvest of timber and
non-timber products maintains the forest's biodiversity,
productivity and ecological processes.
