Irpinia and Downsview are both Canadian and have European style frameless. Another option is Neff.

Good luck!

from what I understand, one of the original owners of Kitchen craft left to start his own company down the road. I heard that he took many of the workers with him. This was a while ago and I think it caused a bit of chaos at KC at the time (we did our first kitchen with them at this time and had a few issues with doors, but these were replaced) It seems things have been sorted out since. Not sure what the name of the new company is - might be Impreza. I heard all this second hand from my contractor, so ...grain of salt and all that. We have KC cabs again now (2nd time) and are happy with them.

Our new kitchen cabinets are from urban effects. They're a cabinet making company based in Manitoba. Not sure where you're located in Canada, but their website has a dealer locator on it.

You can see my cabinets on My small kitchen reveal

As a Canadian Designer, Cabinetsmith, KitchenCraft and Urban Effects are whom I deal with and am happy working with all 3. Cabinetsmith can present itself as limited compared to the others only because they don't have all the door styles and colours as the others. Also, Cabinetsmith doesn't have all the different sizes of cabinets and embellishments to work with. All 3 offer soft close as an upgrade (standard with a couple of Cabinetsmith's lines). Dovetail drawers are available as an upgrade, as well as customizing cabinet sizes & plywood construction with KC & Urban Effects.

I'm happy to answer any questions on any of those 3.

Thanks all! I'm planning to spend the day researching all these companies, and seeing who is all available in my region (Northern Alberta).

Krisit, I LOVE you kitchen. your cabinets are the perfect color. How are your quarzite counters doing? They were my first choice, until I heard that some quarzite may etch like marble on occasion. Have you had any issues?

Does anyone know, are KitchenCrafts' painted wood doors completely made from Maple, or is the center panel MDF? I'd actually prefer MDF center panel, with my climate's extreme humidity changes.

Thanks for the kitchen love, hwierenga! ;)

I still caress my counters daily and haven't had any issues with the quartzite. There are some excellent countertop geology threads here that really helped me understand how some quartzite is made up of different materials. My taj mahal didn't etch or stain during my tests on it, but the super white quartzite sure did! I've also read that fantasy brown can etch as well....

Whatever countertop you decide on, make sure you get a sample and test it before you purchase!

Good luck on your search and I'm happy that you're trying to find a Canadian company to buy from, eh!

I used Cabico out of Quebec. Really happy with their quality.

If you are in the USA, you need to consider duties and taxes when you import them. So it's not just the exchange rate you should be thinking about. I live in Canada and I bought my Ikea cabinets in the US because it was 3.5 hours closer, the exchange rate was pretty good at the time, and I could go pick up the cabinets myself. Even with the exchange rate and paying taxes at the border, it was still a good deal, but I did my math to make sure it would work out for me.

...."Does anyone know, are KitchenCrafts' painted wood doors completely made from Maple, or is the center panel MDF?"....

Depends on what door style you're looking at. There are a couple of doors that are an MDF slab routed out to show a panel and frame, like the cochrane.

There are other door styles that offer a veneer flat panel inset into a frame. Other doors have a solid wood panel.

I have Cabico - happy with them.

Hi there,

We are going with a white perimeter kitchen and a darker island. We have existing pillars in our home and crown moudling so I was hoping to go with a skaker door form Kitchencraft in the White painted MDF and then a island in a stain color. The only problem is Kitchencraft has the Cochrane door which has a small amount of detail on a shaker door, but it is not available in the maple. Lexington in the maple would be the closest match. Could you do 2 different door styles or would it be better to just have a simple shaker door like the Salem? Anyone do this before?

We built our house almost 26 years ago, and our kitchen cabinets were made by a company in Quebec called Prestolam. https://prestolam.com/en/ . We have been very happy with the quality and today, the kitchen still looks very good. I'd highly recommend them.
