The Mitered Joint

The most graceful of construction features, a miter joint completely conceals the end grain of the door frame pieces. Furthermore, it emphasizes the natural beauty of solid hardwoods. Our mitered cabinet door style, the Decorative, seamlessly complements traditional and transitional architectural styles.

A Lasting Bond

A perfectly mitered joint is a testament to fine craftsmanship and the classic art of cabinetmaking. For instance, it requires precise cutting to divide the 90° angle between the two joined frame sections. Close attention is given to the unique grains of the wood and the subtle tones throughout, making sure each piece complements one another.

Here, the Decorative is finished in a bisque glaze on cream paint, a treatment that emphasizes the fine detailing in the door frame and drawer front edges.

Reinforcing the joint with dowels and spline before gluing, is very important. Moreover, the joint holds strong over a lifetime of use. See the Signature line limited lifetime warranty.
