Question 1

What type of screws can be used to screw the cabinets to the wall?

Accepted Answer

Length and type of screws depend on the type of wall construction.

If the wall construction is cement, then use a TapCon brand cement screw, making sure the screw goes into the concrete a minimum of 1".

If the wall construction is wood studs and drywall we recommend Washer head or Wafer Head cabinet screws available at one of the home centers. The screw must go at least 1" into the wood stud (this dimension does not include any sheeting or drywall that may be over the studs, you must add extra length for sheeting). Keep in mind that there may be more than one layer of drywall on the wall, this is especially true for the wall between the garage and the house if the garage is attached. Code in many areas requires two layers of drywall to create a fire wall between the garage and the house.

Question 9

What is melamine?

Accepted Answer

Our background for 30+ years was manufacturing cabinets/casework for large commercial projects (buisness, labs, schools, medical facilities, and hotels/time shares). So when we created our first line of Garage Cabinets in 2004, we wanted to use many of the same commercial materials like the 3/4" M2 Industrial Grade Melamine that we used for the cabinet boxes of our commercial cabinets.

Melamine is a generic term used in the woodworking industry. Melamine's core is made using sustainably grown wood chips combined with resin to create a very flat, consistent, and stable board that receives a smooth, moisture resistant, and cleanable surface.

The core of melamine is commonly refered to as Particle Board. Like most products or materials there are varying qualities from low quality to very high quality. Unfortunately some companies in the industry are cost conscious rather than quality conscious, and use a very low grade which sometimes gives particle board a black eye because many people lump all particle board into that same low quality bucket, and don't realize all 'particle board' is not equal.

All of our melammine is manufactured in Grayling Michigan USA, by a company called Arauco. This plant is one of newest and most sofisticated in the world. The process of manufacturing board is truly amazing, watch the video to learn more.
