We are confident that you, like so many of the customers that have gone before you, will love everything the Ayr Difference encompasses.
Cabinet Construction
Every Ayr Cabinet is custom designed and built right here in Nappanee, Indiana. All Cabinets are built to the exact length making for a simple and clean installation process. We design and build a variety of Cabinet styles, anything from a traditional to a modern Cabinet style. We also have the ability to carve intricate details and designs into your cabinets, making it a design that is unique to you and your space.
Drawers are constructed using the sturdiest joinery known as the French Dove Tail. Add to that the grooved sides that allow us to slide the drawer bottom into place, and you have a drawer that will last the lifetime of the cabinetry itself. Our Cabinet Frame Construction and our Raised Panel Door Frames are both constructed using 3/4″ Mortise and Tenon joinery. By using the 3/4″ length tenon, we are able to not just glue the joint together, but also fasten directly through the mortise and tenon joint. Again, a cabinet construction and door construction that will keep your cabinets functioning like new for years and years.
Finishing Process
We also take the extra step of pre-staining our Raised Panel Edges. This step ensures that as the panel comes and goes through the different seasons, the chances of you seeing an “unfinished” line on the panel is minimal. “The Ayr Difference” doesn’t stop with the construction. Every cabinet is hand-sanded throughout the construction process, all the way to the Stain and Finishing Department. Every cabinet is hand-sanded one more time just before the final topcoat is applied. This gives you a finish that mass production can never attain.
