We're always looking for ways to improve and enhance the performance and durability of your kitchen and bath. Here a few of the innovative products we've recently created to deliver higher levels of cabinet protection.
SUPERPLY® PLYWOOD
Plywood components make up over half of the cabinet we produce. To control the quality of our boxes, we manufacture our own plywood for high performance and customer satisfaction.
Marine Grade Plywood: Made with Phenolic based glues, our plywood is not chemically treated to increase its resistance to rot, mold, and moisture. Instead, it's composed of many thin layers bound together with waterproof glue.
- PLYWOOD COMPOSITION: Utilizing Eucalyptus and Pine in the layers, this premium plywood is highly rigid with sustainability built-in.
- EXTERIOR/INTERIOR SURFACES: High quality, 2-sided Birch Veneer for a contemporary look and feel.
- FINISH: An In-line 12-step UV finish creates a surface that will look beautiful and perform flawlessly throughout a lifetime of continuous use.
VERTICAL INTEGRATION FROM THE LOG
At Hallmark, we try to make use of every aspect of the raw materials that we can. We procure logs internationally and process them in our own shops to control product quality. Firsts and Second cuts of rough lumber go to our cabinet division, Seconds and Third cuts go to our flooring division. Veneers are also cut from the same logs where possible.
- MOISTURE CONTROL: Hallmark is one of the few manufacturers to have dry-kilns on site to ensure the correct moisture control of solid wood. By locking in the moisture at the initial production phase and utilizing environmentally controlled curing rooms, we can create a more stable product for our customers.
- VENEER CUTS: Instead of using industry standard rotary peeled veneers for wood doors, Hallmark goes beyond the standard by choosing to straight cut from the log, ensuring a closer match to the stile and rail of the door. Most of the cabinet industry uses a rotary peel veneer for their center panels which may not come from the same area as the original logs and may not tend to match the grain as much.
