Our Manufacturing Process
We create your space for .
01
Cabinet box design and construction
Our framed cabinetry uses blind dado joinery for rock solid strength and streamlined appearance. Frameless cabinetry utilizes glued dowel construction with dadoed cabinet backs. Either construction method provides unsurpassed strength and beauty in finished cabinetry.
All exposed cabinet ends are trimmed, sanded, and finished flush, eliminating unsightly steps or joints on exposed ends. There are no production shortcuts to this level of sophisticated beauty, and it is one of the separating elements between fine cabinetry and mass manufactured boxes.
Available wide top rails and/or increased door reveal allow for convenient mounting of crown without extra blocking, saving material and valuable installation labor. Tailoring our cabinetry for efficient installation is just one of the many ways your investment in Lancaster Maid cabinetry pays dividends on your project to create overall value.
Protective buttons and wood strips shield finished ends from damage during transit and onsite handling. Little things like this make all the difference when it comes to preventing mishaps before they can occur!
Thoughtfully engineered islands and custom assemblies to simplify field installation while providing a sophisticated end result.
