Casework Materials

We have conducted numerous tests on different species of woods and different materials with multiple types of stains, paints and finishes. Working closely with the interior design team we have gone through many iterations of color and finish to come to a point of satisfaction with the casework. As shown below, you can see that we have decided to use a medium density fiber board (MDF) with a brush of stain and poly. After multiple sample pieces, we have come to the conclusion use a golden oak stain shown at the front of the first image, with a brush on poly.

The image below shows earlier tests on various types of plywood using wipe on poly and diluted water based paints

The image below is a few different sample woods with various stains, to be used as flooring, to the front face of the cabinetry in the kitchen
In order to reduce material waste we have constructed all of our casework mock ups and samples from scrap materials from other projects.
