What’s the point in having custom cabinetry if your cabinets are just like everyone else’s? We work with the top manufacturers and designers in the industry to stay up-to-date on the latest and greatest features we can provide to our customers to make their ordinary project extraordinary.

Hafele Loox Strip Lighting

Really good lighting is one of things that most people don’t think very much about. As long as you can see well enough, no big deal, right? Wrong. Excellent lighting makes a huge difference in terms of quality of life. It reduces stress and highlights your favorite features in your project. Accent lighting can accentuate shadow lines and give your cabinetry more depth and weight. The Loox system from Hafele is the best. Not only does it include more configurations that any other system, but it allows for wall-switching, remote control, dimming, color temperate selection, and includes a sleek aluminum track that can be recessed into panels with a diffuser lens so that individual LED’s all blend into a solid, consistent bar of ambient light.

LeGrand integrated Outlets

We are required to have outlets every 6’ in residential construction, but that doesn’t always play nicely with the other design features of a millwork package. LeGrand offers several innovating products that address this issue including attractive power strips and recessed outlet blocks in attractive finishes that make receptacles a feature rather than an eyesore.

Power Grommets

We include these in every office we build now. Traditionally desks include a removable plug that allows cables to pass through to monitors, keyboards, etc. While Bluetooth technology has largely eliminated wires for many items, it’s just not possible for everything. We started using these powered grommets to allow our clients to plug in laptops, phone chargers, and other electronics without having to fumble below their desks to plug in. They simply drop into a drilled hole and plug into the wall, so no electrician required.

Wireless Charging for cell phones

Many modern cell phones can be charged wirelessly. We can recess these wireless charging pads into any of our worktops to create a charging spot in your space that blends in seamlessly with its surroundings.

Docking Drawer

Out of sight, out of mind is best. That’s why we like these docking drawer outlets so much! It’s a kit that allows an electrician to hard-wire an outlet into the back of a drawer safely, with a support rod kit that folds in and out to support the wire. Keep your electronics plugged in but hidden away in a drawer. The only drawback is the 5” minimum space requirement in the back of the drawer opening, but the benefits greatly outweigh the drawbacks.

Servo-Drive Drawers and trash pull-outs

Have you ever cringed as you opened your trash drawer with dirty hands, knowing that you were just spreading the germs around? Blum makes a servo-drive kit for trash pull-outs that allows the drawer to open with a little bump from your hip or foot, eliminating that cross-contamination issue. Watch it in action!
