The Kitchen Store

One of the most important aspects of your kitchen design is the type of cabinetry you choose. There are many elements to look into, from correct sizing to style and finish. In this article, The Kitchen Store shares the timeless benefits of selecting maple as the wood for your kitchen cabinets. 

1. Maple is versatile. Because maple takes stains, paints and glazes extremely well, you have more control over the appearance of your custom cabinets. If your heart is set on a particular theme or design for your kitchen, maple wood can easily achieve it.

2. Maple is durable. Maple trees are one of the most common species of hardwoods in North America. This makes them popular for many things, including cabinetry and furniture. In addition to enduring wear and tear, maple is also good at resisting changes in temperatures and will not crack or warp like many other types of wood. Since it is strong and durable, you can expect maple cabinets to last about 30 years if properly maintained.

3. Maple is affordable. Maple cabinets are one of the more affordable quality woods you can choose when remodeling or designing your kitchen. Because it takes dark stains well, maple is usually stained to resemble pricier wood like cherry or mahogany. It must, however, be properly sealed before staining to prevent it from looking blotchy.

4. Maple is beautiful. Maple is a creamy white hardwood that has a reddish tinge, its grain smooth and even, making it pleasing to the eye. With everything in mind, maple is a wood that can take a beating and still look good for years.
