Stylish Solutions From Aristokraft CabinetryBecause every so often, all kitchens deserve a makeover

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Orlando, Fla. (Feb. 7, 2007)--Aristokraft Cabinetry makes stylish organization simple with new 2007 products unveiled at the 2007 International Builders' Show, Feb. 7-10. Aristokraft is part of the MasterBrand Cabinets, Inc. booth (W1929). Fresh door styles, organization solutions and classic finishes update the warm, relaxed atmosphere of casual living with a contemporary attitude. Mitered frames, mellow finishes and clean lines allow Aristokraft Cabinetry to interpret these timeless and universally appealing looks with stylish options for every budget.

Fresh Takes on Timeless Appeal

While some kitchen trends find their way to the "out" list almost as soon as they're introduced, Aristokraft Cabinetry introduces classic door styles and finishes with timeless appeal.

Aristokraft Cabinetry makes a classic kitchen design easy to achieve with the new Durham door style. Durham's classic styling offers a clean, updated way to create a relaxed, traditional setting. "With white kitchens in high demand, Aristokraft Cabinetry is offering an option that speaks to this trend yet is affordable to more consumers." says Andy Wells, senior director of product and merchandizing design for Aristokraft Cabinetry. "It's easy-to maintain and an easy-on-the-budget approach to kitchen elegance."

Durham Door

The Durham door style grabs attention with its recessed laminated center panel and five piece square mitered style. These details, along with a full overlay, create a customized look. Available in Toasted Antique Glaze, the finish brightens the room and brings an elegant ambiance to the kitchen.

Classic cabinetry is celebrated with Aristokraft's new Avalon door style in Maple. Its simple picture frame styling and mitered corners are the epitome of relaxed familiarity. Available in Autumn, Fawn, Natural, Rouge, Saddle and Cocoa Glaze finishes, the versatility of the new Avalon door allows it to compliment many kitchens.

Another option for capturing classic charm is Aristokraft's new Radford door style in Maple. Raised veneer center panels, along with a square mitered style and partial overlay, stress the sophistication of this door style. Whether you choose Autumn, Fawn, Natural, Rouge, Saddle or Cocoa Glaze finish, it is the perfect cabinetry for updating an older home or giving a newer home an aura of refined tradition.

Radford Kitchen

Warm up any kitchen with Aristokraft's new Harvest Glaze finish for its Maple door styles. This new caramel-inspired finish captures the softness and warmth of pine reproduction furniture. This glaze is available on Aristokraft's Landen, Grayson, Eastland, Sutherland and Wentworth doors. Harvest Glaze is a fitting companion for the textures, natural materials and laid back ambiance of today's country décor.

A la Carte Convenience

Ample kitchen storage space is a rarity and, often times, the countertop is overtaken by cumbersome kitchen appliances resulting in a cluttered impression. Fortunately, Aristokraft Cabinetry has answered this problem with its two new Design Solutions.

The 12-inch Deep Full Height Base Cabinet is a narrow and deep base cabinet that turns under-utilized spaces or narrow passageways into convenient countertop and cabinet storage. The 12-inch Deep Full Height Base Cabinet is available in all of Aristokraft's door types and finishes.

Base Microwave Cabinet

Aristokraft Cabinetry is introducing an ingenious way to store one of the most essential appliances with the 30-inch Base Microwave Cabinet. In addition to being a space saver, this new Aristokraft Design Solution expands options to customize kitchen organization. The placement options for this cabinet are many as it can also be installed in a kitchen island.

Easy-to-Spec Solutions

A kitchen is the home to many utensils and dishes. Keeping in mind that every kitchen tool and dish has its own shape and storage needs, Aristokraft Cabinetry has developed three new Organization Solutions--the Pegged Dish Organizer, the Base and Roll-Out Tray Divider and the Spice Rack--customized for each item it is designed to hold. "Storage options are a necessity in any kitchen," says Cathy Hitz, group manager, Aristokraft Cabinetry. "As every kitchen is different so are each of our customers and their needs. Aristokraft hopes to meet as many organizational demands as possible with the every-growing line of Organization Solutions."

The Pegged Dish Organizer is the ideal place to store plates and platters. Its removable pegboard insert with posts creates a space fitted perfectly for each dish, eliminating chipped rims and encouraging organization. The pegboard can also be trimmed for custom applications.

Another Organization Solution used to protect your cookware is the Base and Roll-out Tray Divider. This piece separates and protects non-stick pans and ceramic surfaces from damage. Its sturdy wood roll-out tray with removable dividers can be a home for anything from cutting boards to pans to fragile ceramic dishes. This piece fits both left and right opening doors.

Spices are often the most important part of cooking, and yet are among the hardest ingredients to organize. Aristokraft Cabinetry recognizes and solves this problem with the new Spice Rack. Its three convenient-height shelves with fashionable chrome shelf guards make organization easy and smart. This piece is adaptable for all door sizes via the adjustable horizontal bar, which screws onto any door frame.
