Today’s family life is centered in the kitchen. Kitchens have become more than just a place for cooking and eating. Everything is done in the kitchen – from homework to checking email to watching television. “My customers kept reaching for something new, something exciting,
with a WOW factor. It had to be tame enough to withstand everyday living, yet unique enough to stand out.
The high tech European cabinets are fun and exciting, but for most people they were too bold and slick. The opposite-carved Santa Fe style-are too heavy.”
THUS, EURO FE...
Euro Fe blends the best from both worlds. A blend of European and Santa Fe styles, technologies and craftsmanship. Far from mundane, Euro Fe stands out from the crowd with its practical design yet bold visual elements.
Euro Fe Designer Cabinet System
Euro Fe is a “cabinet system” designed as if we were the consumer, without compromise. We examined every element, including installation procedures, to build the most value into the ultimate “cabinet system”.
Let’s talk...
Full height Stainless steel drawer sides. Metal drawers on the market are nice but they are only 5-1/2” tall. You can add delicate rails that look nice but items can slide through the openings. Euro Fe - Full height and durable!
1/2 in thick drawer bottoms. Our non-sag, 1/2” thick bottoms are cradled into the stainless steel sides. If you’ve ever had a drawer bottom fall out or sag? The industry standard is 1/4” think bottoms.
Full extension, under-mount, soft close drawers slides and soft close hinges are standard.
Euro Fe’s cabinet structures are like a canvas to a
painting.
We start with designer grey melamine to provide a neutral canvas for whatever door style or color you choose. They are then edge faced with 3mm black PVC (plastic).
The industry standard is 1mm wood tape. The problem is that getting a good finish on the tape is quite difficult.
Our solution:
3mm PVC is applied in the same manner, but doesn’t require the finish process. It can handle every day bumps and bruises. It will also not fade or discolor.
These structures allow you the freedom to be more creative. Mix and match door styles and colors, change a few doors with the seasons or replace bold elements for resale. If you want a complete new look in the future, at 1/2 the price, we have built the foundation for you!
Built in outlets Euro Fe soft touch control switches to eliminate back splash clutter. Nothing worse then an outlet that is uneven and out of level in what could be a beautiful tile design.
How about a glass, back lit back splash or
a custom hood vent?
Euro Fe has you covered.
There are molded outlets that face forward for easy daily use and others that tuck back into the corners for more permanent items like a coffee pot or toaster.
The soft touch switches are recessed into black Corian facings for easy cleaning. These are programmed to control your specific needs including dimmer options. They are now Control 4 compatible allowing you to expand your horizons into the high tech world.
No more counter shadows to work in. Our Euro Fe system provides “high efficiency”, cool T4 lighting right on the counter where you need it. It also reduces heat loss by reducing the holes in your ceiling and reduces heat generated by typical lighting sources.
Euro Fe is all about Style - a blend of Santa Fe Style and European ingenuity. 
This is what you see. We start with solid wood, grain matched doors and drawers. From there we offer finishes to meet the most discerning clients.
From hand rubbed oils with sun baked waxes to high tech Ferrari finishes, all are carefully designed for you!
Modular construction is a cost reduction tool but why the common 3” increments in width? We have yet again gone against the grain. Our modular foundation is based on 3’ counters and 8’ ceilings. This accounts for 98 percent of all kitchens and Euro Fe allows you to have any width you need at no extra cost.
We didn’t build Euro Fe to be the easiest but we were determined to get it right!
Did we miss something? We’d love to here from you.
