Fenix Matte and Luxe High Gloss Collections
DeWils introduces the future of engineered materials in fine cabinetry.
Fenix Nanotech Matte Collection:
A New Level of Durability
A New Level of Durability
The Fenix® Collection offers an innovative and stylish matte finish, featuring nanotechnology for extreme durability unlike anything previously available.
FEATURES
- Anti-fingerprint
- Soft touch
- Enhanced anti-bacterial properties
- Resistance to dry heat
- High resistance to acid solvents and household agents.
- Thermal healing technology
THE TECHNOLOGY
Fenix® is produced by combining thermosetting resins at both high heat and high pressure. Resins are fixed with an Electron Beam Curing Process. This creates a homogeneous non- porous high-density (nanoparticles) product capable of thermal healing.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Surfaces should be cleaned regularly but do not require any particular maintenance. Almost all normal household cleaning products or disinfectants are perfectly well tolerated. For daily cleaning, it is suggested to use a melamine foam sponge (Magic Eraser) when scrubbing is required. Avoid furniture polishes and wax-based detergents in general, because they tend to form a sticky layer on the surface which will allow dirt to adhere.
Luxe High Gloss Collection:
Modern Styles to Impress
The Luxe Collection is created with state- of-the-art coating technologies, combined with the latest generation of materials.
- Ultra High Gloss
- UV Stability
- Exceptional Color Fastness
- Resistance to Dry Heat
- Stain Resistant
- Impact and Scratch Resistance
The Luxe High Gloss Collection is created with state- of-the-art coating technologies, combined with the latest generation of materials.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Regular surface cleaning can be done simply with a nonabrasive cloth moistened with soap and water. While the surface is highly resistant to staining, impact and scratches, it is possible to buff out minor wear and tear.

Style Sheet | Open Plan Kitchen with Mediterranean Warmth
Time2Design Kitchen Style Sheet...
Kitchen Style - Open Plan with Mediterranean Warmth
Shown here the cabinet door style ~ DeWils Madisson, cabinet finish ~ stained solid cherry, countertops ~ granite, backsplash ~ subway tile with mosaic inset, floors ~ porcelain tile, hardware ~ brushed nickel knob.
Centrally located in the home this kitchen opens up to an adjoining family room and dining area making this open plan kitchen the true center or "heart" of the home. The contrast of the solid cherry cabinetry finished in a warm chestnut finish contrasted against the lighter floor tile and granite gives this kitchen a beautiful warm Mediterranean feel.
Being so open the custom wood hood creates the perfect focal point in this kitchen and is nicely complimented by the oversized subway tile at the backsplash and mosaic inset over the cooktop. In addition the raised countertop at the island provides a great seating area for guests and the lower countertop space allows for a nice oversized area to use while preparing meals.
The completed Time2Design Kitchen...
Creating a kitchen that functions for the needs of our clients is, in our opinion, the number one priority of kitchen design. Second is to design a kitchen that is aesthetically pleasing and compliments the interior design of the home.
During the design process, with Time2Design, we create a style sheet that shows the kitchen design elements ~ cabinet door style, wood species, finish selection, countertop selection, flooring and backsplash option. This allows you to see how the style and finishes compliment one another creating your individual kitchen style.

With that in mind,

step into the 21st Century...
When was the last time you took a look at Plastic Laminate or even considered plastic laminate for your cabinets or even countertops for that matter in your home or business? Well I can honestly say, having been in the kitchen and bath industry for over 25 years it has been awhile since the subject of using plastic laminate has even come up. For me it was, key word was, sort of like asking if you want to buy a Yugo or a Pinto if you remember what those are. Well Yugo's are not around anymore or Pintos for that matter, but Formica has been around for over 100 years and is BACK in fresh, exciting, new and innovative ways!

| Formica turned 100 years in 2013 |
I had the pleasure of celebrating their birthday with them at KBIS2013 in New Orleans. (Great cupcakes by the way)

Ok, ok, so I know you are trying to get past that whole Yugo / Pinto comparison, sorry about that I was just making sure you were paying attention.
So that was then...and this is NOW!
(insert applause, oohs and aaahs here)

“Although
granite continues to be popular, homeowners are expanding their material
preferences to include new stone variations,” said Amy Gath, vice president of
marketing at Formica Corporation. “Our latest laminate patterns are fresh,
affordable and maintenance-free alternatives, making design trends accessible
for all.”

| Formica - Lapidus Brown |
During my trip to KBIS/IBS Design Construction Week 2014, in Vegas as a member of the #BlogTourVegas Team, I got to see first hand Formica's most recent pattern and finish introductions. As a professional I have to say this is the first time I have been excited about plastic laminate in a very long time.
“The
new 180fx® patterns reflect some of the most stunning granite options on the
market,” said Amy Gath, vice president of marketing at Formica Corporation. “Using
advanced printing technology, we authentically replicated each beautiful detail
in true scale ― capturing the high-end look homeowners desire without
sacrificing the maintenance-free and affordable nature of laminate."

| Formica - River Gold 180fx4 |
3546-46 River
Gold in Etchings™ Finish: An inviting creamy-white granite
with linear veins of gold and gray highlighted by chocolate-brown crystals. One
of the most desirable granites, it reflects the trend toward light and white
sophisticated stone. The Etchings™ finish enhances the “river-like” quality of
the pattern with its light linear movement.
 |
| Formica - Lapidus Brown 180fx2 |
3547-RD Lapidus Brown in Radiance® Finish: A versatile and timeless granite that features vibrant gold tones and rich iron
veining highlighted by creamy white crystals and gray and black pebbles. Its
rich color palette will coordinate with a variety of cabinetry, from light
golden maples to cherry to antique black. The Radiance® finish highlights the
crystalline structure.
 |
| Formica - Magna Black 180fx |
3548-RD Magma Black in Radiance®
Finish: A dramatic
stone that lives up to its name, each slab appears as if liquid lava has been
poured over it. Rivers of gold, gray and rust ― highlighted by pure white crystals ― create a bold pattern. The Radiance® finish deepens the black
background and accents the pebbles and crystals.
 |
| Formica - Red Dragon 180fx2 |
3549-RD Red Dragon in Radiance® Finish: An exotic and alluring rich red with dramatic veining and gray crystals. The Radiance® finish intensifies
the color and complements the crystalline structure.
All
180fx® patterns are available with IdealEdge™ laminate edge profiles. Suitable for
curved, clipped or 90-degree corner installations, IdealEdge™ decorative edges transcend the
customary limitations of laminate by eliminating flat edges and brown seams.
In addition to unmatched aesthetics and performance, all 180fx®
patterns are designed to minimize environmental impact. Each pattern is
certified under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) and the GREENGUARD
Certification Program (including a GREENGUARD Certificate of Compliance Gold).
With over 100 years experience, Formica is leading the way with innovative new and exciting patterns, finishes, edging and surface materials. The realism in the pattern, color and selections available are amazing and virtually hard to tell from the original pieces of stone, wood, metal and other surfaces they were made to reflect and look like.

DESIGN TERMS | DEFINITIONS | Dovetail Joint

Dovetail Joint - A joint where a mortise and tenon combine to for a solid structure. Created entirely from wood.

A
dovetail joint or simply dovetail is a joint technique most commonly used in
woodworking joinery including furniture, cabinets, log buildings and
traditional timber framing. Noted for its resistance to being pulled
apart (tensile strength), the dovetail joint is commonly used to join the sides
of a drawer to the front. A series of pins cut to extend from the end of one board
interlock with a series of tails cut into the end of another board. The pins
and tails have a trapezoidal shape. Once glued, a wooden dovetail joint
requires no mechanical fasteners.

The
dovetail joint probably pre-dates written history. Some of the earliest known
examples of the dovetail joint are in furniture entombed with mummies dating
from First Dynasty of ancient Egypt, as well the tombs of Chinese emperors. The
dovetail design is an important method of distinguishing various periods of
furniture. In Europe the dovetail joint is also called a swallow-tail joint or
a fantail joint.
Before & After - Cabinetry Makeover - Entertainment Center
Sometimes your cabinetry just needs a little makeover. Here is an example where the cabinetry layout was fine, the color and door style were just not working with the new decor.
So we replaced the cabinet doors with new cabinet doors, new cabinet hardware and installed a new granite countertop.
Another minor change was a larger TV was mounted on the wall with hidden cords to free up the counterspace and get rid of the clutter. And all of the audio equipment is now hidden behind solid doors with a remote sensor to operate the equipment.
