Question 1

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.

Question 2

How much weight can slatwall hold?

Accepted Answer

Slatwall panels will hold 100lbs per foot.

Question 3

Can the cabinets be wall mounted only?

Accepted Answer

Base and tall cabinets should be attached to the wall with the legs in use.

In some cases where there is a cement curb that interferes with installation we suggest that cabinets are attached to the wall and front legs are used in the front of the cabinets.

Question 4

Can we do a ladder base?

Accepted Answer

Ladder bases are available. The lowest ladder base we can do is 3". Keep in mind, the shorter it is, the less strength it has.

Ladder base comes with adjustsable legs.

Reasons you might want to do a ladderbase are:

Slope
Curving
Keep clean underneath the cabinets

Ladderbase is made out of Plywood. We can paint them. What the customer can do also is buy rubberbase to add to the outside part of the ladderbase.

The cost for a ladder base is $14 per linear foot.
