Traditional Elegance With Contemporary FlairModerno from Armstrong Cabinets Now in Deep Espresso

Paired with a new, rich Espresso finish, the clean, minimal lines of Moderno™ Maple Cabinetry from Armstrong™ convey a sense of calm and sophistication- and a bit of drama- ideal for either transitional or urban spaces. Conversely, Moderno takes on a sleek, almost Zen-like feel when finished in a light, natural sheen.

Moderno's full overlay, flat panel grained doors with square edges on all sides and fully concealed hinges also accentuate the wood's simple and functional beauty. The cabinet's styling make these simple doors elegant.

"Moderno appeals to design savvy consumers looking for sleek, minimal styling," says Rob Glenn, director of marketing, Armstrong Cabinets. "The smooth, close-grained wood of Maple has long been considered an elegant choice for cabinetry and other fine furniture. Homeowners also recognize its innate beauty, strength and resistance to wear." Maple wood finishes with exceptional consistency, resulting in a sleek, uniform look."

Moderno features Genuine ALLWOOD™ Cabinetry, Armstrong's top-tier construction with quality characteristics that are usually found only in custom built cabinetry. Its features include:

Incredible durability and strength from all-plywood box construction. Hardwood plywood sides and bottom panels provide resistance to swelling from water exposure.

Interior protected by clear coat sealer finish for easy maintenance and cleaning.

Solid wood, four-sided drawer box with Cushion Tec® side mounted drawer guides.

"Six-way adjustable concealed hinge" is available as a standard offering on ALL Armstrong™ cabinet styles. This allows for precise adjustment in order to create perfect alignment.

Full-access dovetail or full-extension with soft close dovetail drawers with undermount hidden drawer guides available as upgrade.

In addition to new Espresso, Moderno™ is available in a variety of inviting tones popular in today's homes, including Toffee, Natural, Mocha and Café. Consumers also can select from a wide variety of hardware, and choose convenient accessories with additional storage space or time saving features. For consumers looking to make a statement or to create visual drama, wall cabinets with staggered heights and different depths provide more options for hard-to-fit spaces. Specialty cabinets and decorative trim also are available in the Moderno line which adds a finishing touch to any kitchen.
