Hinge Adjustment
HARDWOOD Hardwoods have a dense structure and come from broad leaved deciduous trees such as maple , oak , birch , cherry , hickory , poplar , or ash species . We use a combination of these to achieve a great looking and highly durable product . Natural features include :
• Light blonde to dark reddish brown tones
• Small black and reddish brown mineral streaks or deposits that darken with stain
• Wavy , curly bird ’ s-eye , or burl graining as well as worm tracking across the grain that will darken
when stained
• Variations within a single door
PAINT 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 .
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 .
