One of a Kind Cabinets. One of a Kind Dealers

One of a Kind Cabinets.
One of a Kind Dealers.
One of a Kind Relationships.
Cabinetry Brochure
We have been treating each client as a unique, one of a kind
individual since 1946. Our founder, Vilas Schertz, began making
cases and cabinetry for his friends as a way to help them create
more than just a kitchen. He helped them create a safe harbor to
keep their families together, and provided a foundation to turn
mere houses into happy homes.
This “One of a Kind” approach is instilled deeply into the heart and
soul of Grabill Cabinets. It’s why, as company owners, we nurture
one of a kind relationships with our dealers. This enables our
dealers to in turn be a one of a kind resource to homeowners,
interior designers and other industry professionals.
On behalf of our entire team, thank you for exploring
Grabill Cabinets.

One of a Kind Factory
We’re proud to say the relationships we have with our craftsmen,
our dealers, our community, and the home owners who enjoy
the fruit of our labor, span multiple generations. A long-term
view is second nature to us. Consequently, we take great steps to
ensure everything we do is the highest quality possible.
For instance, our 170,000 sq. ft. facility includes a lumber
division and every operation that is necessary to produce
the highest quality cabinetry, architectural elements and fine
furniture available. This ensures total control over the product,
fuels innovation, allows us to offer the shortest lead time in
the industry for custom products, connects designers with
craftsmen, and develops the next generation to continue our
trade. Each of our 34 most tenured craftsmen average
34 years of experience.
One of a Kind Construction
Your style and taste should never be sacrificed or altered due
to poor workmanship, cracking, warping or separation.
We take it personally; literally...
We hand sort our lumber for color, stability and grain
features for uniformity, so we can navigate around defects.
We hand sand and edge break all surfaces to open up the
grain for maximum adhesion of stains, paints and finishes.
We hand sand all dovetail drawer joinery after assembly
for a perfect fit.
Customized joinery equipment provides repeatable precision.
Mortise and tenon joinery and finger jointed mitered corners are strengthened with 3/8” dia. x 1-3/4” hardwood dowels so that corners don’t separate with changes in temperature and humidity.
We use plywood for all cabinet boxes as a standard.
3/4” maple drawer boxes for stability and strength.
3/8” plywood drawer bottoms.

One of a Kind Finish
A Grabill finish looks as good in 30 years as it did on the day of
delivery. It takes seven types of sanding, topped with coatings
so high tech they turn woodworking into chemistry.
The value:
Unparalleled durability to withstand a lifetime of wear
Ultra smooth finish
Personalized products with predictable character
that transcends generations
Consistent color, grain and texture within a
species with uniformity as the goal
What it takes to achieve this:
Only use Northern Appalachian hardwoods
Hand selected raw lumber for each job based on color
Zoned temperature and humidity controlled facility
Conversion varnish not lacquer
Process controlled drying chambers
Master craftsman skills
Research & development laboratory
Proper sanding and surface preparation
Hand rubbing after finishing to remove debris, provide a uniform sheen and protect against scuffing and scratching

Environmental Practices
Grabill has pursued environmentally-friendly practices for
generations. We received the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers
Association’s Environmental Stewardship Program certification.
As part of the certification, we met requirements in areas of air
quality, product and process resource management, environmental
stewardship and community relations. For example:
Finding ways to use lumber by-product in finished materials like
finger jointed shelving and other smaller component parts.
Unfinished lumber by-products provide a fuel source for heating
homes in the local community.
Recycling sawdust so local farmers can use it for livestock bedding.
Our suppliers maintain certifications, including Environmental
Stewardship program from KCMA (Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers
Association), Forestry Stewardship Council and Rainforest Alliance
certification. They also support the Sustainable Forest initiative.
The plywood cores that make up our cabinet case adhere to
strict formaldehyde emissions standards as established by the
Environmental Stewardship Council. Our inventory from Columbia
Forest Products is made with PureBond technology, to
guarantee components and panels are assembled with
no added urea formaldehyde adhesives.
