Warranty
Comprehensive 10 Year Warranty – Versatile Wood Products warrants our cabinetry to be free from defects
in materials and workmanship for 10 years from the date of delivery. This warranty excludes damage due to abuse,
neglect, or improper installation.
Basic Cleaning
Using a mild cleaner or soap, wipe down with damp cloth or sponge. Rinse with damp cloth or sponge and wipe dry.
Cabinet Interiors
Clean twice a year or as needed with damp sponge or cloth. Be sure no standing water remains when finished.
Spills
Spills of any kind should be cleaned immediately. Be sure no standing water remains when finished.
Moisture Control
Moisture damage may appear in the following ways: blushing of the topcoat, deterioration of the finish or black
stains in the wood. Follow the steps below to minimize or eliminate potential moisture damage:
Sink Cabinet: Remove water splashes from the front of the cabinet by wiping with a damp cloth.
Coffee Maker or Kettle: Steam directly vented onto overhead cabinetry may blush the finish. If possible,
coffee makers or kettles should be located with overhead clearance.
Dishwasher: Loading or unloading may cause splashing. Remove splashes by wiping with a damp cloth.
Bathroom: Ensure that your bathroom is properly vented. Venting should meet current code.
Seasonal Changes: Excess humidity from wet seasons won’t directly affect the finish but may cause
slight swelling of door and drawer fronts. Lack of moisture in the dry season can cause excessive shrinkage,
splitting or popped joints. The use of a humidifier (dry season) or dehumidifier (wet season) can help
control these situations.

Design Standards
General Standards
• Standard upper cabinets are 13” deep
• Finished end panels shipped loose & oversized for site scribe
• Door & drawer species will match face frame unless custom option is specified
• Drawer grain is horizontal & door grain direction is vertical unless specified otherwise
• A magnetic catch is provided for each inset door where non-self closing hinges (such as our mortised or non-
mortised) are specified. Magnetic catches are shipped loose so your installer can locate them relative to the
location of the door pull. The strength of the magnets can be adjusted by partial alignment with plate, which
may be desired for lightweight doors.
ºº Depth = cabinet depth less 4” (standard box interiors are: 8”, 11”, 14”, 17”, 20”, 23”, 26”, 29”)
*Depth for pullouts same as dimensions above. Height requirements vary by design.
