thick chemical resistant double-sided melamine on medium density

fiberboard. The top and bottom of each Encore door and drawer front is

contoured to provide a finger pull. Horizontal edges are contour edge

banded with a heat transfer foil to complement the door material and match the

frame and side colors. Vertical edges are machined and edge banded at a

90-degree angle to the face in the same material as the horizontal edges.

Lumina II – Lumina door and drawer fronts are manufactured using

5/8" thick chemical resistant double-sided melamine on particle board. One

banding. A solid hardwood J-Pull finished to match the cabinet face

frame is fitted and attached to the remaining horizontal edge utilizing

adhesive and coated fasteners.

thick chemical resistant double-sided melamine on particleboard. One

horizontal and two vertical edges are edge banded with durable PVC edge

banding. A solid hardwood J-Pull finished to match the cabinet face frame is

fitted and attached to the remaining horizontal edge utilizing adhesive and

coated fasteners. Legacy door and drawer fronts are designed with 1/4"

reveal between frame edge and side door or drawer front. Due to this,

special consideration should be given to clearances, corners and appliances

when designing a Legacy kitchen or bath.

FINISHES - Oak, Ash, Maple or Similar Hardwood

Finish Technique – All wood components are sanded to prepare surfaces

for finish. Stain is applied to all components. A sealer is then applied and

when dry, is sanded to prepare for top coating. A waterborn urethane top

coat is then applied, creating a durable, household chemical and detergentresistant

finish.

Honey Oak/Ash – Traditional medium tone stain color. This hand wiped

stain blends the natural color and grain variations within the wood without

masking the natural beauty.

Ginger Oak/Ash – A lightly blended stain color. This hand wiped stain

blends the various grain characteristics of the wood to give a more uniform

natural look.

Spice Oak/Ash – A darker rich tone stain color. Hand wiping blends the

rich color while enhancing the various grain characteristics of the wood.

Light Maple – A light translucent finish that gives a “natural maple” look

to the hardwood by lightening and blending the various colors within the

wood while accentuating its natural beauty.

Wheat – Light-medium tone finish. The hand wiped stain color lightly

blends the grain and color variations in the wood accenting the

natural beauty.

Cider – A medium toned stain. This stain blends and enhances the beauty

of the various grains of the wood. (NOTE: Finish is only available on

Mapleton and Majestic lines).

Nutmeg – Medium/dark tone finish on hardwood. Hand wiping accents

the light/dark characteristics of the hardwood. The finish will magnify the

range of light and dark color within the hardwood and is considered a

feature of this product and not a defect.

Cherry Cinnamon – Rich burgundy cherry finish on solid hardwood.

Hand wiping accents and magnifies the light/dark characteristics of the

hardwood. Color variations within individual doors and fronts will be

noticeable and are considered part of the beauty of the finish. These

characteristics are inherent of the Cherry Cinnamon finish and are not

a defect.

Fruitwood – Medium tone stain color. The stain color blends the natural

color and grain variations within the hardwood. (Note: Finish is only

available on face frames of Encore lines.)

Pickled – A semi-translucent spray finish. The finish shows a range of

color on the hardwood due to its light masking effect. This characteristic of

the Pickled finish is considered acceptable. (Note: Finish is only available

on face frames of Encore lines.)

White – Durable white painted finish consisting of a white waterborn

primer coat and a white waterborn top coat over hardwood that

complements the white melamine or thermofoil doors. (Note: Finish is only

available on face frames of Cierra, Lexus and Encore White/White lines.)
