Our Custom Cabinet Line, IslandModern™, is fabricated locally in Kailua. Our high quality, European style cabinetry (frameless), consists of birch plywood interior box construction, which includes an insect-resistant adhesive (adds protection against termites and other wood-boring insects), soft-close hardware, and various options for colors, finishes (textured melamine, wood veneers, high gloss, ultra matte) and interior cabinet accessories. We are a supply-only production shop, working closely with your designer, contractor, or installer (we also have a network of experienced kitchen/bath designers and cabinet installers if you are not currently working with one)
Box Construction
All of our custom cabinet boxes are fabricated as a European style cabinet; frameless with separate adjustable toe kick legs. We use 3/4" pre-finished Birch plywood which utilizes an insecticide additive in the glue line. The insecticide permeates into the wood fiber protecting the plywood from termites and other wood boring insects. Other interior material options are available; white or grey laminate interiors, matching interiors, etc
Material source: Tacoma, Washington
Drawer Construction
Our standard offering for drawer boxes is 3/4" pre-finished Birch ply. Other options are available; metal Blum Legra drawer boxes, white or grey laminate interiors, etc (see other options). Our Tandem plus Blumotion and Movento runners, from Blum USA, are the latest advancement in concealed runner technology. They offer excellent stability while maintaining smooth running action and unmatched soft close feature. Our Blumotion soft close concealed hinges (hinges can't be seen when door is closed) offer a smooth operation and keeps cabinets from slamming
