Some things to note when choosing cabinetry: All cabinet lines have pros and cons, discuss this information with a knowledgeable and trained designer to choose your cabinets wisely. You want to purchase cabinetry, which will work for your own household or office use in the most cost efficient way possible. Many times Cabinetry with TLC is able to provide a better quality cabinet for the same or lower price than the “big box” stores. Check all your options before purchasing. Most pricing guidelines are based on wood species and finishes. Oak is the most cost efficient as the supply of oak is readily available and plentiful. Maple wood species are higher as the supply is not as abundant. Cherry becomes higher than Oak, Maple or Hickory as again the supply is not vast. Hickory has no or little increase above Oak. Alder tends to fall in the slightly higher range above Oak.

Important information to know about your countertops: Again discuss with professionals your needs regarding your usage of your countertop. Professionals can disuss with you the pros and cons of each type of countertop and which may fit your needs better. Remember buying direct does not always save you money. Cabinetry with TLC purchases many countertops and as such gets a wholesale price, so our pricing should be the same or lower than direct buying. As we must co-ordinate efforts to make the tear-out, templating, and installation go smoothly sometimes it is the smart choice to allow us to purchase the countertop. Often we are asked about care of countertops. First know your specific countertop as some require very specific care and maintenance. Do basic care; dust and dirt can etch countertop surfaces, spills that sit for to long can be difficult to remove. For this reason, a daily routine for your countertop becomes very important. A dry wipe with a soft clean cloth is all that is needed when countertops are not used. When countertop is used a mild detergent and water with a soft clean cloth can be used for routine cleaning. For more thorough cleaning options let’s begin with laminate. Laminate may be cleaned with detergent or a vinegar water solution. To clean solid surface countertops consider a mild detergent and water mixture or countertop solutions sold at most retail stores. For granite, marble, man-made quartz countertops use a microfiber cloth to dust off and use a soapy water solution to clean. When water droplets are put on countertop if it no longer beads up it is time to use a stone cleaner formulated with a neutral PH and sealer. NEVER use harsh chemicals or abrasives cleaners on any countertop.
The truth as we know it regarding Radon and granite. Granite is a safe material and is an insignificant contributor to radon levels. For more detailed information please go to www.marble-institute.com
