THE DESIGN IS IN THE DETAILS

took us a while. Finding the right tile shape, color and size was challenging. The overall effect that I was trying to achieve was an update on the traditional. With the painted inset cabinetry, my immediate thought was a subway tile, but I ran across a variation on the traditional 3x6 subway which was a 2 1/8” x 8 ½” field tile. Still the subway look, but with a more modern shape. When using inset cabinetry I prefer to use only one piece of molding at the top of the cabinetry, using multiple pieces of molding in this case would make this room seem a little top heavy. I was also somewhat limited on the height available so I used Dura Supreme’s Transitional Light Rail at the top and bottom of the wall cabinets. For the light rail application I had the molding installed upside down to create the mirror image of what was at the top. I used all drawer bases with the exception of the sink base and the base recycling center. It’s a personal preference; I like the functionality of a drawer rather than a roll out. Both base corners are voided, I’m not a fan of the corner cabinets and with the size of the room and the use of the drawer bases I was ok with sacrificing the storage space. The final piece of the project was just installed, the walnut ledge on the pass through. The walnut is from the family farm in Iowa which has personal meaning for us. There wasn’t enough space for a large overhang, just enough room for the width of one of the boards so we kept the live edge to add interest. Am I happy with the end result? Absolutely, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Guest Blog from Dura Supreme Cabinetry; What is Custom?

WHAT IS CUSTOM?

When it comes to cabinetry most people incorrectly assume that "custom" cabinets mean they have to come from a local shop and can't be manufactured in a factory - nothing could be further from the truth.

The word custom is defined as "made specially for individual customers; dealing in things so made, or doing work to order", so in other words "custom" means you are designing and building cabinetry to suit a specific situation/space for a specific customer/client in a specific home or office.

With more than 50 years experience in manufacturing fine custom cabientry, we understand the importance of providing products and services that deliver quality, value and reliability.  Hand-crafted quality, state-of-the-art machinery, precision joinery and the commitment to exceed our customers' expectations.  Dura Supreme expertly blends modern technology with time tested woodworking practices to create cabinetry with excellence.  Excellence in quality, craftsmanship and service.

JUST IN TIME MANUFACTURING

At Dura Supreme we don't begin building your new cabinetry until an order is placed.  Every piece and component is manufactured just for your project. 

It all strarts with the raw materials.  At our rough mill, kiln dried lumber is processed into stile and rail stock, panel insert blanks and other solid wood cabinetry components.  By processing these materials in house, we gain greater control over the quality and supply of these important building materials.
