The basis of the New England Classic product line is a modular stile and rail system with various panel inserts made from veneered hardwood over an MDF substrate. It is pre-designed to fit specific requirements and sizes so that installation time is reduced dramatically.
By modularizing the system, the time-consuming process of customizing a fine hardwood wall finish system is available for smaller budgets. It reduces the cost of hardwood interior detailing by half and represents a model of how profitable remodelers use innovative methods and materials to do more with less and create a beautiful product at an affordable price.
The final product is installed in hours rather than days.
