Frequently Asked Questions
What cabinetry products and hardware does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries cabinet-grade plywood and hardwood sheet goods for cabinet box construction, solid wood and MDF door and drawer components, Blum hinge and drawer systems with BLUMOTION soft-close technology, Hickory Hardware cabinet hardware in a range of styles and finishes, undermount and side-mount drawer slides, and specialty fasteners for cabinetry assembly. The selection supports both custom cabinet builds and renovation upgrades.
What is the difference between frameless and face-frame cabinet construction?
Face-frame cabinets have a solid wood frame attached to the front of the cabinet box, which the doors and drawers are mounted to. Frameless cabinets have no front frame and doors mount directly to the side panels. Frameless construction provides slightly more interior access and a more contemporary look. Face-frame construction is more traditional and offers a wider range of door inset options.
What thickness of plywood should I use for cabinet boxes?
Three-quarter inch (18mm or 19mm) plywood is the standard for cabinet sides, tops, bottoms, and shelving where strength and screw-holding capacity matter. Half-inch plywood is used for cabinet backs. Baltic birch is the preferred choice for drawer boxes due to its void-free construction and clean edge appearance.
What wood species is best for cabinet doors that will be stained?
Hard maple is the industry standard for stained cabinet doors due to its fine, consistent grain and smooth machining characteristics. Cherry and walnut are popular for richer, warmer tones. Oak is traditional and widely available but has an open grain that requires filling for the smoothest painted or stained finish.
What Blum hardware is available at Windsor Plywood for cabinet upgrades?
Windsor Plywood carries Blum CLIP top hinges with BLUMOTION soft-close technology, TANDEMBOX and MOVENTO full-extension drawer systems, and AVENTOS lift systems for overhead cabinet doors. Blum hardware is compatible with both frameless and face-frame cabinet construction and is engineered for smooth, quiet operation over the long term.
