Contemporary Veneer Slab Cabinet Doors
Contemporary Veneered Cabinet Doors are suitable for residential & commercial settings and are most commonly chosen for their clean, sophisticated look (view other Contemporary Cabinet Doors). In their basic form, slab veneer doors and fronts are simplistic in nature but can be customized to create the exact look of your choice.
The flat slab design of Contemporary Veneer Cabinet Doors is often used as a canvas to emphasize the beautiful colors and grain patterns of wood veneers. With our Continuous Grain option, you can create a nearly unbroken flow of the veneer from one door or drawer front to the next vertically or horizontally on the cabinet.
WalzCraft has created the Style 60 Veneered Door and Drawer Front with a wide range of design flexibility. It has an MDF core with wood veneer on the face and back. Edgeband Treatment Options (EBT) include raw/exposed MDF, wood veneer edgebanding, or solid wood edgebanding.
With the Style 60 door you can control:
- Edgeband Treatment Options (EBT) – Choose Edgebanding material and sequence in which the face veneer, back veneer, and edgebanding are applied to the MDF core.
- Edgeband Application Sequence – Sequence in which the edgebanding is applied to the top, bottom, left, and right edges.
- Edgeband Grain Direction – Lineal or Front to Back (EBT301 and EBT401 only).
Grain and Color Coordination Options
What is Grain and Color Coordination?
Grain and Color Coordination allows you to choose the level of matching done between veneer components adjacent to one another. When it comes to our Veneered Cabinet Doors & Drawer Fronts, there are three options available.
Option #1: No Grain or Color Coordination (Standard Option)
In this case, veneered products will not have matching grain or color coordination and may come from different sheets of material. This option is the most basic and least expensive. While option #1 works best when using doors and drawer fronts in our standard grain directions, it is also available when ordering all vertical or all horizontal grain.
Standard Grain (Option #1)
All Vertical Grain (Option #1)
Option #2: Continuous Grain Match – No Sequential Grain Match
In this option, a defined group of wood veneer products will be cut from the same sheet of material. WalzCraft ensures that adjacent panels in the length of the grain have Continuous Grain Match (CGM), while panels in the width of the grain may not flow smoothly due to no Sequential Grain Match (SGM). Available with all horizontal or all vertical grain.
Example: Vertical Continuous Grain – No Sequential Match (Option #2)
- Grain Matched Vertically within each Section.
- Sections 1, 2, & 3 are cut from the same panel, but may not be matched horizontally due to no sequential grain match.
Option #3: Continuous Grain match – With Sequential Grain Match
The third option has the highest level of grain and color coordination. This option ensures that adjacent products in the length of the grain have Continuous Grain Match (CGM) and that panels in the width of the grain have a Sequential Grain Match (SGM) across the grain. Available with all horizontal or all vertical grain.
Example: Vertical Continuous Grain – With Sequential Match (Option #3)
- Grain Matched Vertically.
- All Doors & Drawer Fronts are cut from one panel and will be matched horizontally due to Sequential Grain Match.
Our Continuous Grain Match Options are most desirable on Rift Sliced (Oaks), Straight Grain, and Quarter Sliced Wood Species. In other words, the relatively straight grained appearance of these cuts ensures a nearly seamless, organic flow throughout your project. If more character is what you’re after, try a Plain Sliced Veneer in a wood species that has a strong grain pattern. In this case, our Continuous Grain option will show off the natural characteristics like cathedrals and colors while maintaining grain flow throughout the space.

Edgeband Application Sequence
WalzCraft’s standard edgeband application sequence is to apply the edges in the following order: Top, Bottom, Left, Right. Our standard sequence means that the butt joint of the edgeband will be visible on the top and bottom of the door or drawer front. For an additional charge, you have the option to determine the order in which the edgebanding material.
Unless otherwise specified, WalzCraft will use the standard sequence.
Edgeband Grain Direction
WalzCraft’s standard edgeband grain direction is to apply the wood veneer edgebanding in a Lineal direction. However, when using EBT401 (Wood Veneer Edgeband), you have the option to choose Front to Back grain direction for each edge for an additional charge. Applying the edgeband in a front to back direction on either the top & bottom or left and right sides the look of a solid wood door or drawer front.
Unless otherwise specified, WalzCraft’s standard will be to apply the wood veneer edgebanding in a Lineal direction EBGD100. Additional charges may apply if deviating from WalzCraft’s standard. The maximum length for front to back grain direction is 48″.
