Atlanta Cabinet Shop, Inc. (ACS) has added Egger brand Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL) to its line of contemporary cabinet fronts. The product line includes both shaker (5-piece) and slab style door and drawer fronts. This adds 30 new Egger TFL selections, including 13 premium colors that offer a matching end grain banding. All products are available for online purchase.
Why did we decide to offer something that is harder to make than a one-piece door? Isn’t that against the grain of most manufacturer’s? Well, not here. We want to do what is best for our customer. And for us, the benefits to the end user outweigh the additional work on our end.
Removing scratches, cleaning, polishing and a little advice about StyleLite high gloss acrylics
I remember when I went to work for my dad over 40 years ago. I asked him how to deal with some laminate cabinets that had been scratched. His answer was simple, “don’t let them get scratched in the first place”. That’s good advice, but we still had scratches to deal with. Unfortunately, there is little or nothing that can be done with HPL. You replace the part or re-laminate. We’ve added StyleLite high gloss acrylic panels to our line up and with a little effort, scratches can be polished out depending on the severity.
ACS is proud to have been named the associate of the quarter by the Cabinetmakers association. The CMA also wrote a great article on us that you can read here:
If you don’t know, the CMA is a great not for profit association, dedicated to the professional development of our industry. The majority of members employ 1-5 individuals and understand the struggles all small shops endure.

Here at ACS, we’re always looking for ways to improve our machining process and quality. Recently our friends at Guhdo asked if we were willing to try out some their new FOURCUT bit on for MDF Shaker doors. (We’ll be offering these doors on our website shortly, stay tuned!). Of course we did, and we were happy with the results! It left a very clean cut, and was quiet in operation. You can see the video here.
Buford, GA: ACS Inc., a manufacturer of cabinet door and drawer fronts specializing in TFL and acrylic high-gloss material, credits recent growth to new technology being used on and off the shop floor. After creating and launching a customizable product configurator and shopping cart on their website, ACS is seeing increased interest and revenue from cabinet shops throughout the southeast. ACS’s e-commerce website is fully integrated with their ERP system and their CAD software.
It is not a secret that small and medium size cabinet shops are cautiously scaling up to meet greater demand in 2018. With this said, component suppliers should not presume that more business will come their way without investment in proactive customer solutions. One such solution that is continuing to gain traction in the cabinet component industry is web-based product configurators connected to an e-commerce platform.
