The following information is from Wellborn Cabinetry pertaining to their Estate Inset Cabinetry. I thought this was very informative and I would share it with you. Most of the information will pertain to all inset cabinetry, but warranty information does vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
There are many differences in the design and the installation of inset cabinetry. Sue to the cabinet design with doors and drawers inset into the face frame, many design rules are different than in standard overlay cabinetry including pull dimensions, door opening tolerance for adjacent cabinets and interior accessories and many more. Installing inset cabinets has many differences from standard overlay.
The effects of moisture are more noticeable on inset cabinetry than on overlay door styles due to the tight tolerances of the door set inside the face frame. It is very important to store and install inset cabinetry in climate controlled environments. Heating and air should be in place to maintain an acceptable range in relative humidity. Relative humidity should be maintained in the 40% to 45% year round during storage, installation, and use to prevent door panels from shrinking and swelling. Inset cabinets leave the factory with a preset gap of 3/32 of an inch. If inset doors are tight in the frame, this is an indication that these doors have taken on moisture from the surrounding environment.
Prior to installation, cabinets should be placed on a level surface, door spacers removed and each door and drawer inspected for proper opening and closing. If there are any issues with operation of the cabinet parts, contact us prior to cabinet installation. The door and drawer front opening and closing operation will be voided from warranty if the cabinet has been installed prior to full inspection and notification.
Inset cabinets must be carefully installed with proper shimming to walls and floors so that cabinets are level and plumb when fastened, to avoid racking the cabinet out of square, which could cause binding and malfunction of the doors and drawers.
Cabinets must NOT be racked in any way during installation.
Cabinet doors with Barrel hinges should not be removed from cabinets during installation.
Check cabinet for squareness when fastening together and to the wall, visually monitoring door and drawer front "gap" to frame opening.
Final adjustment for proper door and drawer front alignment is the responsibility of the field installation crew.
Failure to comply with the above listed design and installation guidelines will void the cabinet warranty relative to the door and drawer front opening and closing operation.

Feature Friday--Alexandria Kitchen
This week's featured kitchen is a kitchen and a bathroom for a client here in Alexandria. We took pictures of the kitchen before the remodel.
We also designed the Master Bathroom for this residence. The cabinetry used in the bathroom was the Rose Hall Square in Maple Divinity from Wellborn Cabinetry.
This remodeling project was installed by Thorsen Construction in Alexandria.
We reconfigured the floor plan, removed the drop ceiling and a bathroom, and moved doorways to recreate the workspace. The client chose the Coventry door style (our door style of the week)in the Cherry American finish, made by Mouser Custom Cabinetry in a beaded inset frame. Granite countertops, Giallo Ornamental, top the cabinetry beautifully.

Wellborn Cabinet, Inc., is a family business that was established in 1961. Years of individual dedication by hundreds of Wellborn employees has created today's multifaceted company.

Check out the parts of the cabinets that usually go unnoticed. Enjoy a new looking kitchen for years by choosing Wellborn's long lasting durable construction. Wellborn's unique WellGuard Finishing System is a benchmark of quality. We enhance the beauty of our solid wood doors, drawer fronts and face frames by hand sanding each piece to eliminate scratches and by hand rubbing the stain to ensure smooth, even color. We apply two coats of high moisture resistant, vinyl sealers before a final topcoat of catalytic conversion varnish is applied. The finish coats are baked on to create a tough, durable protection that keeps a lustrous, furniture-like shine for years to come.
Wellborn takes great pride and care with the finishing of our kitchen furniture. Years of research partnered with development through Valspar have resulted in The WellGuard Finishing System — a 24-step superb finishing system.
Solid Wood Doors
Wellborn's solid wood raised panel doors and drawer fronts are 100% natural, all solid hardwood, hand selected from our own lumber yard and timber processing mill.
Wellborn builds the best drawer in the industry. Our ¾" solid hardwood dovetail drawer is standard in the WoodCraft and Premier Series door styles and available as an upgrade option in both the Select and Deluxe Series.

Wellborn Cabinetry's Green Statement
WELLBORN’S ENVIRONMENTAL BELIEF STATEMENT
It is Wellborn Cabinet, Inc.’s corporate-wide goal to fully incorporate leading environmental practices, policies and standards throughout our enterprise—from our suppliers through final delivery to our customers. Our environmental responsibility
has extended to include selecting, educating and embracing suppliers based on their commitment to similar environmental practices including sustainable or recycled raw materials as well as low emission products where applicable.
Wellborn endorses the industry-wide efforts and commitment of the KCMA organization and their development of their Environmental Stewardship certification program (ESP). The ESP program provides the only standards for manufacturers in the Kitchen & Bath cabinet industry that truly defines and measures the holistic environmental performance of a manufacturing enterprise — not just its end products.
The ESP program establishes a standard, measurable benchmark for environmental performance. This certification validates our performance to adhere to high standards for air quality, product resource management, process resource management,
environmental stewardship and community relations. Wellborn, along with our affiliate operations, is fully certified under this program. In looking to the future,Wellborn has committed to recertify annually as the program adopts new industry standards and practices.
In addition to the ESP program,Wellborn will continually search for new technologies and processes to improve our high standards of environmental conformance for our products and operations. We will also continue to partner with our suppliers and industry associations in a joint effort to embrace the changes necessary to ensure that we all have a more healthy environmental future for generations of our children and grandchildren.
Wellborn’s demonstrated commitment to environmental stewardship offers our consumers the assurance that the cabinets they buy are the Green Choice for generations of family and the environment.
KCMA ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM CERTIFICATION
Finding the KCMA ESP Green seal on Wellborn cabinets can give you great comfort in knowing that its impact on the environment during manufacturing has been checked end-to-end. The initial step in receiving certification examines procurement procedures in the raw product and continues through the manufacturing process. Manufacturers also receive credit by creating alternative energy using by-products, implementing an energy conservation program, and being involved in recycling programs.
WELLBORN’S NATURAL GAS SAVINGS = HEAT FOR 5,124 HOMES FOR ONE YEAR
Wellborn utilizes steam from the wood fired Co-Generation Plant in our Dry Kilns, Heating Ovens & Paint Room. This process saved 300,773 (MCF) thousand cubic feet of natural gas, a nonrenewable resource, in 2007, by using collected wood shavings.
EMISSIONS
Since 1995,Wellborn has reduced boiler air emissions 50% lower than required by state and EPA regulations through the installation of an Electrostatic Precipitation (ESP) Unit,“Best Available Control Technology.”
Lowering VOC Emissions
Wellborn Cabinet, Inc., is continuously working with our finish supplier,Valspar, Inc,. to reformulate our finishes and reduce their impact on the environment. In addition to this change, Wellborn has purchased another high-solid ultraviolet coating machine. This machine seals our products using 100% solid particles, further reducing volatile compounds.
Formaldehyde
Wellborn Cabinet, Inc., meets the KCMA ESP standards for formaldehyde emissions of our particleboard, MDF and plywood. These standards set by the Composite Panel Association Environmentally Preferable Product and ANSI/HPVA HP-1 are currently the most stringent of its kind concerning formaldehyde.
Transportation Fleet
Diesel emissions in our truck fleet have been reduced by the application of two new techniques. The newest tractors feature an Auxiliary Power Unit or APU. This feature eliminates unnecessary truck idling and, most importantly, lowers fuel usage and emissions. All new tractors are specked with these units. Secondly, drivers that do not have an APU will take advantage of IDLEAIRE, a great technology located at truck stops throughout the U.S. Drivers are encouraged to plan their stops at these locations where they can shut off their engines and hook up to a unit that provides heat, air and even T.V. and internet. By doing so, drivers are decreasing their impact on the environment.
Recycling
Wellborn environmental responsibility extends to the internal day-to-day activities of each employee. Office paper is collected throughout the plant to minimize land filling. Aluminum cans are collected from break areas to provide local recycling companies the opportunity to continuously process the usable aluminum. Ink and Toner cartridges are also gathered from units for recycling. Cardboard collection points throughout the facility allow for departments to bail used cardboard and send to a recycler. Also, a “Pop Tab” program is effective in providing for charities that use them for a great cause.
WOOD VS. OTHER MATERIALS
Wood is the most renewable resource we have. Of common building materials, wood uses the least energy to manufacture.Wood is energy conservative compared to the alternatives. By choosing wood, you can help stretch limited energy resources. Here’s how steel and concrete compare: (Canadian Wood Council, www.cwc.ca)
