WalzCraft’s Nexus Doors and Drawer Fronts offer a modern take on the classic shaker style with narrower stiles and rails. This design is known in the cabinet industry as a Slim Shaker, Skinny Shaker, or Thin Shaker. Our version includes a variety of square, beaded, and beveled profiles that range from 1/4″ to 7/8″ wide.

We are proud to share the WalzCraft Company Story with all of our potential and existing Customers, Suppliers, and Team Members! This video includes a brief overview of who we are, what we do, and a look inside our Manufacturing Facility.
WalzCraft is now offering 3/4″ Pre-Primed Veneer Core Plywood and various thicknesses of UV Coated Maple Veneer Core Plywood.
3/4″ thick Pre-Primed Plywood is available primed on 2 sides or primed on 1 side with UV coated Maple back. This versatile material is lightweight, stable, and easy to machine making it a great option for painted cabinet box components. The primed surfaces of our Pre-Primed plywood can be finished by the customer, or WalzCraft can apply a SolidTone® finish.
UV Coated Maple Veneer Core Plywood is available in the following thicknesses:
¼” Thick Veneer Core Plywood – B4 “B” face grade wood veneer, veneer core, with a #4 back. The “B” grade face is pre-finished with a clear UV coating, while the #4 back is left raw and is not available finished.
½” Thick Veneer Core Plywood – B2 “B” face grade wood veneer, veneer core, with a #2 back. Both sides are pre-finished with a clear UV coating.
¾” Thick Veneer Core Plywood – B2 “B” face grade wood veneer, veneer core, with a #2 back. Both sides are pre-finished with a clear UV coating.
UV Coated Maple is also available on our Style 100DW Doweled Drawer Boxes with a matching PVC Edgeband (TE10) on the Top Edge of the box. Options include 1/2″ or 3/4″ sidewalls and 1/4″ or 1/2″ bottom panels. Since the maple already has a clear UV coating no additional finishing is necessary.

WalzCraft is excited to announce three new neutral SolidTone® (Paint) and SolidTone® WoodGrain additions to our extensive line of Painted finishes. New SolidTone® (ST) colors include Lighthouse, Sand Dollar, and Flagstone.
We’ve also added three Signature Series Door & Drawer Front Designs in our new SolidTone® (Painted) Finishes. Additions include S988 Solitude in Lighthouse (ST), S989 Darien in Sand Dollar (ST), and S990 York in Flagstone (ST).
Contact our Customer Support Team to order Color Block samples of these colors.
Lighthouse on Maple - Paint Grade
Lighthouse on Oak - Budget Grade
Lighthouse is a light, neutral gray with a hint of green or blue depending on the lighting. The soft blend of colors adds a soothing, airy feel to most spaces.
Flagstone on Maple - Paint Grade
Flagstone on Oak - Budget Grade
Flagstone is a warm, mid-tone gray with an inviting nature. This well balanced neutral is the perfect shade for any cabinetry project.
Sand Dollar on Maple - Paint Grade
Sand Dollar on Oak - Budget Grade
Sand Dollar is light beige mixed with a little gray, also known as “greige”. This neutral color has the slightest green undertone and more depth than other beige paint colors.
Our SolidTone® finish is a pigmented, acid Catalyzed Conversion Varnish that provides superior coverage for your painting needs. Conversion Varnishes have greater scratch resistance and chemical resistance than other popular finishes like Polyurethane or Lacquer. SolidTone® WoodGrain finish is formulated the same as a SolidTone®, but the priming step is removed.
Note: Actual product color and detail may vary due to individual computer preferences and monitor settings. We highly recommend ordering a color block or product sample of the species and stain color to eliminate any confusion.
See section R.2 for more information about our SolidTone® & SolidTone® WoodGrain Finishes.
With great sadness, we announce that Richard (Dick) Walz, 68, passed away on November 6th, 2022. Dick fought a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease and passed away peacefully at his Onalaska, WI home, surrounded by his loved ones.
Always in tune with the industry, Dick often told the staff at WalzCraft, “If we listen to our customers, they will take us where we need to go”. He embraced that concept, repeated it often to his Team Members, and with that shared vision worked shoulder to shoulder with them to build WalzCraft into the business it is today.
Dick was born on October 4th, 1954, and was raised on a family farm in Glen Haven, WI. There, he developed a strong work ethic, learned the value of hard work, and began a lifelong passion for woodworking. Dick graduated from Western Technical College (1973) and started his own construction company. In 1982 he started his manufacturing journey at Cabinet Factory Inc. (later renamed WalzCraft) and became the majority owner in 1987. Dick had a passion for providing customers with high-quality products, and a variety of choices. He loved improving a process to give guaranteed results and talking at length with Team Members to make these improvements. Those close to Dick would describe him as an incredible man and a visionary leader who was dedicated to his family and his work at WalzCraft.
Dick was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 31 years, Jane Lynn Walz; his parents Gerald and Anna Marie Walz, and sister SuzAnne Taylor. He is survived by his son Bradley Walz (Britni), two stepsons Jess Dzurko (Ashley) and Ross Dzurko (Lindsey); and six siblings, Barbara Ekblad, Paul Walz, Larry (Joanne) Walz, Tim (Tracy) Walz, Mary Rae Walz, and Michael (Colleen) Walz. Along with five grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
During Dick’s long ordeal with Alzheimer’s, his son Bradley was faithfully at his side. In 2020, Bradley became President of WalzCraft after working 16 years with the company, fulfilling Dick’s vision that WalzCraft remains a family-owned company that would continue for years to come.
Dick was dedicated to giving back to the community. He was recognized as a Distinguished Alumni of Western Technical College and a Market Leader in the Wood Industry. He was a proud father and grandfather that loved his family more than anything else. While he will be missed dearly, we will forever cherish the time we spent together.
To send an online condolence to the family or to view the service schedule, please visit www.blaschkeschneider.com. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in memory of Dick Walz to the La Crosse Boys and Girls Club.
October is Manufacturing Month, and the first Friday of the month is Manufacturing Day. MFG Day promotes modern manufacturing and the importance it has on local, national, and global economies. As a manufacturer, WalzCraft is proud to provide jobs in the La Crosse community and build high-quality products.
This year MFG Day landed on October 7th, 2022. To celebrate, WalzCraft provided custom t-shirts to our dedicated Manufacturing Team to thank them for their hard work. The celebration continued with a company-wide catered lunch.
We are grateful for all of our Team Members and would like to thank them for making our products Something Special from Wisconsin™.

The year is 1982. The Commodore 64 home computer hits the market, “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” comes to the big screen, Sony launches the compact disc player, and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album is released. That same year, in Brice Prairie, WI, Cabinet Factory Inc. (later renamed WalzCraft) was founded. From its humble beginnings with a handful of employees working in a small pole shed, the company has grown to 260 dedicated employees in a 360,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility. On May 12th, 2022 we reach a major milestone: our 40th Anniversary. In addition to celebrating where we are, we also take this opportunity to reflect on how we got here.
After incorporation, the 1980s saw strong growth for the young company. By 1989 we employed over 50 people and had moved twice to accommodate the expansion, ending up at our current location in La Crosse, WI. The 90s brought the addition of CNC routers, a 22-page color brochure, a company website, and more square footage totaling 176,000. In 2002 the company name changed to WalzCraft. That same decade brought multiple building additions, a flatline finishing system, more machinery, and the launch of the Signature Series doors. Since then, the Refacing Training Program began, Saw Stops appeared, and lean manufacturing efforts ramped up to increase production efficiencies.
We could not have become a nationally recognized leader in the industry without our dedicated team members, loyal customers, and valued suppliers. As we celebrate 40 years in business, we want to thank everyone that has contributed to this achievement. We look forward to seeing what the future holds, and appreciate all of you being a part of the journey.

According to the 2021 U.S. Houzz Bathroom Trends Study, 76% of homeowners upgrade their vanities during a remodel or redesign. The majority of these homeowners choose custom or semi-custom cabinets with space-specific layouts and personalized storage solutions. Let us guide you through some of our recommended product options for Bathroom Vanities.
All-white finishes continue to top the must-have lists of many homeowners, and a small bathroom is a perfect place to capitalize on this trend. Achieve this look by ordering prefinished products in our Classic White or Dove White SolidTone (Paint) options. This light color scheme helps encourage the illusion of space outside the vanity, but it doesn’t make what’s inside any bigger. Our Notched Pattern Drawer Boxes offer custom openings that work around plumbing obstructions and help maximize storage in small vanities.
This breezy blue vanity offers ample storage with furniture-style accents. The Cabinet Feet and Decorative Moldings add a custom touch to this clean transitional design. Order products prefinished in one of our 30+ SolidTone (Paint) Colors, Custom Colors, or Primed Only for Paint options. Our Primed Only for Paint finish is a great time-saving solution for busy finishing departments. Products will arrive with a quality primer base applied and require only a little prep (scuff) sanding before applying your painted top coat.
Storage is a priority in any bathroom, and this custom vanity has tons of space to add custom storage solutions. Our favorite additions include Pullouts, Organizer inserts, and hutch-style cabinets with interior shelving and Crown Molding. This customer used our Beaded Face Frames with inset Doors & Drawers to hide all the storage. WalzCraft offers both Assembled and Ready to Assemble (RTA) Face Frames where your Inset Doors and Drawer Fronts are precision sized to fit all Face Frame openings.
Pair our Contemporary Veneered Slab Cabinet Doors with a neutral color palette to create a clean, uncluttered bathroom retreat. This streamlined floating vanity features the S555 Crawford Door & Drawer Front in white oak. Try adding one of our grain and color coordination options to create a continuous vertical or horizontal grain pattern.
The combination of rustic wood and distressing on this drawer-filled vanity adds instant warmth and charm to this bright bathroom. Quality dovetail drawers paired with drawer organizer inserts will help maintain a clutter-free environment. Unlike design themes and trendy finishes, the benefits of well-organized interior storage will never go out of style.
Other on-trend products for bathrooms include our Continuous Bead (Reeded) Cabinet Doors, Shiplap “Look” Products, and our SolidTone Green Paint Options.
