Schroll Cabinet Joinery & Specifications


CABINET BOX CONSTRUCTION

CABINET BOXES are assembled using Schroll’s interlocking-dado box construction™ method. Cabinet sides, backs, bottoms and frames are dadoed and rabbeted to interlock with adjoining cabinet components. Interlocking components are bonded together using a high-quality polyamide adhesive. Base cabinets have 3/4-inch solid wood corner blocks. This construction method results in superior box strength.

All of our veneer core plywood, industrial grade particleboard and MDF are CARB-certified (California Air Resource Board) and EPP-certified (Environmentally Preferable Product). Certification is from the Composite Panel Association (CPA). Hardwood plywood, particleboard and MDF meet CPA EPPS 002-06 standards. Hardwood plywood panels meet ANSI/HPVA HP-1 and adhere to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). Panels are certified to the CARB ATCM 93120 Phase 1 emission limit.

CABINET INTERIOR OPTIONS
• Maple Hardwood Plywood Interior (MHPI™). Maple hardwood plywood is a 7-ply fir veneer core. Plywood face is veneered with hardwood maple veneer and pre-finished with a clear medium-gloss UV top coat. Some cabinet components and accessories may have a MDF-core veneered substrate.
• Thermofused Melamine Maple Interior (TMMI™). Thermally-fused melamine is a melamine saturated paper that is thermally bonded under pressure to a particleboard substrate. Properties are similar to high pressure laminates. The pattern of melamine used is a natural maple grain. Thermofused panels provide superior resistance to surface wear, common household chemicals, water and staining.
