Construction Material
The Merillat Classic® Collection is available in one of four wood types including Maple, Cherry, Hickory and Oak.

Maple
Maple is a go-to wood species that is uniform and predictable. As result, it takes lighter stain and paint color well.

Cherry
Cherry brings a rich and elegant feel and is often used in fine furniture. Cherry will darken with age and contains small knots for added character.

Hickory
The hardest America wood species with the widest color variation. Random burls, knots and mineral streaks give a hickory kitchen a unique sensibility.

Oak
Oak is another popular versatile wood species with rich textures and grain patterns that lends itself to practically any application.
Finish Type
The Merillat Classic® Collection line of cabinetry is available in 17 stain colors and 6 painted colors. Stained cabinetry will let the wood grain show through whereas painted cabinetry will conceal and hide most of the wood grain for a more modern and contemporary look.
Paint Colors
Offering eye-catching colors that express your style and consistent coverage of wood grain, knotholes, and more, paint is a great option for achieving a sleek, uniform look. When paint is selected, the drawer front, door stiles, door rails and/or door center panel may be constructed of a paint-grade substrate, a material that helps provide resistance to warping, expansion and contraction.






Stain Colors
Stains allow the natural beauty of wood to show through the color. Each wood species has its own unique grain variation and can have a dramatically different look when stain is applied and brush-wiped. The amount of grain and natural beauty marks of wood will vary by species.

















Door Types
The Merillat Classic® Collection offers five different door types including partial overlay, full overlay, recessed center panel, raised center panel and slab panel.

Partial Overlay
Overlay is the amount of face frame covered by the door and drawer. The reveal on partial overlay cabinets is typically 1 inch. A partial overlay creates a traditional look and is typically less expensive.
Full Overlay
An overlay that covers most of the face frame, giving prominence to the door and drawer design. A full overlay creates a more custom and clean look.
Recess Center Panel
The center goes inward. Recessed panel designs offer an understated elegance to your cabinetry.
Raised center Panel
The center panel is raised. It provides design dimension and interest.
Slab Panel
A flat panel with no variance in
the center. It provides a clean,
modern look that dares to be
simple.
Door Styles
Laminate and Thermofoil
Doors within the Merillat Classic® Collection can be finished with a laminate or Thermofoil.
Laminate is thermo-plastic polymer wrap that is applied to engineered wood or medium density fiberboard (MDF). This type of finish gives the cabinetry a uniform flat appearance. Texture laminate is a plastic base product that has proven to be highly durable. This type of finish yields a consistent wood grain appearance.
Thermofoil is a solid colored vinyl that is applied to smooth engineered wood or MDF. It is easy to clean and built to last. Simple and durable, laminate and thermofoil cabinets are easy to clean and ideal for active environment.
