And 7 Advantages to these materials

Powder Coated Doors & Drawer Fronts

WorkSpace Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are very unique. Powder coating is very common on metal, almost everything you buy that is metal has been powder coated, and for good reason. It is extremely durable and scratch resistant. Without question it is the best finish available today.

What makes WorkSpace Cabinets unique is we powder coat on wood, MDF to be specific. There are only a handful of companies in North America that use this technology, we have been powder coating MDF since 2007. We even have a patent on part of our process. To learn more about the entire manufacturing process of WorkSpace Garage Cabinets check out our blog post on that exact subject.

The Advantages of Powder on MDF

Powder Coating Seals the Wood - this makes it nearly impervious to moisture and most household chemicals.
Color Selection - Several color options to match your décor, and the our powder coating is UV Stable so fading is not a concern.
Extremely Durable - The powder coated finish is extremely scratch resistant and can handle even rough handling.
Mass - Metal doors use a thin gauge metal and can dent easily, not to mention when you close a metal door of a cabinet it sounds 'cheap' like you are closing the door on a Yugo (remember those cars), MDF has mass, it is dense so when you close the door it 'Thumps' like a door should. And it won't rust.

The Advantages of Quality Time Tested Hardware

Hinges - Absolutely the best hinges in the industry, Italian Made 6-Way adjustable Salice Hinges (available in both Self-Close and Soft-Close) We have used the same hinges for 25+ years. Literally hundreds of thousands of them used without a failure (Hard to believe but true!)
Fasteners - Metal and cam dowels are used to securely lock the cabinet parts together. This joinery is time tested and the hardware we use is assembled in Rockford Illinois (just down the road from us. Titus is another company that is engineering and manufacturing quality components.
Drawer Slides - When we find Quality and Reliability, we stay with it. The slides we use are 100 lb. rated full extension drawer slides available in both Standard Close and Soft Close.
Handles - 8" Bar pulls that are rust and corrosion resistant in both Brushed Chrome and Black

Custom Sized Cabinets to Fit Your Garage Like a Glove

Because of how we manufacture, custom sized cabinets are no problem.... we do it all the time to create the perfect garage.

Durable Countertops

For countertops you have a couple of material options to choose from...

The black urethane Impact Coating countertop is designed for rugged durability. You can quite literally pound on this work surface with a hammer (or any blunt force object of your choosing) without so much as scratching it. The black urethane is the same material used to coat truck beds. It's a very rough textured surface, but it won't give you any problems regardless of the project you're working on.

For a smoother countertop surface you can opt for the maple butcher block countertop. This butcher block patterned top is both aesthetically pleasing and quite capable of holding up under working conditions. It's 1 1/4" thick and comes pre-treated with a finish that is both protective and food safe.

Advantage #7 - Made In the U.S.A. . . . Enough Said . . .

Not only are the cabinets manufactured in the U.S.A. - Most of the materials we construct the cabinets with are also Made in the U.S.A.

Our customers appreciate the fact we are in South Beloit Illinois. We are proud to be in the Mid-West employing everyday Americans.

What's even better is we make every attempt to purchase materials manufactured in the U.S.A. For example our MDF comes from Columbia Falls, Montana. The Powder is manufactured in Chicago Illinois. And the melamine that we use comes from a brand new state of the art $400+ million plant in Grayling Michigan.
