Custom kitchen cabinetry with integrated detailing

Custom Cabinets · Edmonton, Alberta

Custom Cabinets in Edmonton.

Custom cabinets built on boxes that hold their line after a full Edmonton heating season, not just through the week they're installed.

In short

A cabinet box built for a humid climate starts shrinking and cracking at the joints within a season once Edmonton's furnace runs flat out through a winter that regularly holds below minus 20 for weeks. Crateworks specs a substrate built to hold its shape through that stretch, on low-formaldehyde TSCA Title VI panels, factory-direct.

Built for Edmonton’s climate

Wood cabinetry moves with humidity, and Edmonton's problem sits at the driest end of that scale. Once the furnace kicks in for a heating season that runs longer here than in most Canadian cities, indoor relative humidity can sit in the single digits for weeks at a stretch, not just dip briefly. A box built with a cheap substrate shrinks, checks, or opens at the joints under that kind of sustained dryness. The fix is a substrate chosen to hold dimension through it, on panels that meet US EPA TSCA Title VI (CARB Phase 2) formaldehyde limits, which matters in a sealed, heated home where that air gets breathed all winter.

Why it suits Edmonton

A box built for a wetter market is the wrong starting point in a city that runs this dry indoors for this long. Factory-direct sourcing is what puts the right substrate, soft-close hardware, and a layout built to your exact kitchen, in Terwillegar, Riverbend, or anywhere else in the city, on a budget closer to a stock kitchen than a full custom build usually costs locally.

Common questions

Not with the right substrate. We spec boxes to hold their shape through weeks of single-digit indoor humidity, rather than using a build rated for a wetter climate and shipping it here unchanged.
They meet US EPA TSCA Title VI (CARB Phase 2) limits, which matters in a home that stays sealed and heated for most of an Edmonton winter.
Send your drawings and we build to them end to end: door style, finish, box configuration, hardware. There's no fixed catalog to squeeze a Riverbend or Terwillegar kitchen into.
Usually enough to move from a stock box to a genuinely custom one. Send your layout and we'll put a delivered number next to your local quote, accounting for how tight cabinet installers get booked during Edmonton's short building season.
