WOOD AND COLOR VARIATIONS ( FERMAWOOD Cabinetry Traditional Series)
Wood is a product of nature, and since no two trees are alike, cabinets may vary in color, texture and grain. Wood characteristics naturally occurring such as variations in color, grain, mineral streaks, pinholes and knots are not considered defects. Color variations in cabinets are also a natu-ral occurrence due to species, age, character of cabinets, and exposure to UV light and sunlight. For these reasons, new and/or replacement cabinets may not match display samples and/or existing cabinets. This may result in overall color variations, but is not considered a defect. GLAZED FINISH-ES: A glazed finish by character is an uneven finish. Some edges and profiles will have heavier hang up than others and glazing may vary from cabinet to cabinet, door to drawer and item to item. This may result in overall color variations but is not considered a defect. PAINTED FINISHES: Wood by nature will undergo expansion and contraction movements year after year as it compensates and adjusts to ever changing atmospheric humidity and temperature conditions. As such, finish stress lines may become visible on painted cabinets especially at the joints. Any such occurrence is not considered a defect.
