The Brier lines—Woodbrier, Whitebrier, and Brier Select—are European-style frameless cabinetry collections made with engineered wood cores and exterior veneers. The boxes are made from 3/4″ CARB II compliant core material with melamine applied; a variety of different door styles and materials are available.
Frameless cabinetry
The frameless full overlay manufacturing style has the doors and drawers lying almost completely over the edge of the cabinet. The entire edge profile and 3/4″ thickness is visible. Door and drawer sizes are not based on the cabinet opening, but rather on using “reveals” all around the cabinet box. The fronts of the boxes are edgebanded or veneered.
At the top of wall cabinets, there is a 2mm reveal and 6mm at the top of base cabinets. At the bottom, left, and right sides of walls and bases, there is also a 2mm reveal.
Engineered frameless cabinetry
Woodbrier, Whitebrier, and Brier Select cabinet boxes are all assembled in the European style with dowels and glue. Interiors are natural birch by default, but can be upgraded at your discretion for an additional charge.
