Decors and grain

In short

1. 01A decor is the look of a board, and it can be plain, wood or a material (concrete, stone, fabric).
2. 02A wood decor has a grain running one way. A part has to be cut so that its grain runs as designed, so the cutting list says which side of the part runs along the length of the sheet.
3. 03On fronts the grain is most often vertical, or all horizontal. What matters is that it is the same through the whole kitchen.
4. 04When drawer fronts one above the other are cut in order from the same board, the pattern flows without a break.
5. 05A plain decor has no grain, so a part may be turned on the sheet, which reduces waste. The exception is a surface texture with a direction, so check that in the decor catalogue.
6. 06Edge tape is ordered in the same decor as the board, by the manufacturer's decor code.
7. 07Always see a decor sample in person, because the colour on a screen is not the same as on the board.
