Quality Construction | Walpole Cabinetry

Our cabinets are manufactured with high-quality, durable materials that you and your clients can count on. Things like cabinet frames that are of quality hardwood, free from knots, marks, sanding scars, or irregularities. Cabinet boxes are constructed of sturdy, ½” plywood, grooved to accept ¼” plywood backs. Shelves are of quality plywood at least ¾” thick. Good drawer slides run quietly on nylon bearings, and can carry loads of at least 75 pounds while allowing a drawer to open fully. Walpole Cabinets come with high-quality Blum hardware for this purpose.

With Walpole, there’s a little something more: Craftsmanship born of experience that perfectly blends aesthetics with practicality. For example, ¼” cabinet backs are built up with ½” plywood hanging rails on top and bottom for more secure installation; and while face frames can be joined with mortise and tenons, that often adds time and cost. Done correctly, butt joints with pocket screws and reinforced with commercial glue offer the same or better strength and beauty but are more efficient to manufacture. That keeps quality up, and costs down. Quality finishes are spray-applied, using a catalyzed, conversion varnish that resists wear and tear.
