Wood Characteristics

Nature's little variations

Like all natural materials, wood comes with subtle variations in graining, knots and coloration. These individual distinctions are all part of the charm and beauty of natural wood. Over the years, wood will darken some or lighten a bit as it ages and is exposed to light, both natural and manmade.

Expansion and Contraction

Because every home climate is different, when your cabinetry comes home, it'll need some time to adjust to its new environment. Some shifting of doors may occur due to wood's tendency to expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes. Fear not - and fix not. This is normal. In a month or two, your cabinetry will feel and look right at home. However, on the outside chance that your cabinetry does not become fully acclimated to your home, simply contact Jackson Cabinetry, and we'll take it from there.
