An Update to Our Semi-Custom Program for Greater Flexibility

As we look ahead to 2026, one thing remains constant at Ideal Cabinetry: our focus on helping designers, builders, and partners stay competitive without sacrificing speed, reliability, or quality.

That focus is what led to the introduction of EcoCore™ board construction within our semi-custom program.

EcoCore™ board allows us to offer greater construction flexibility and a more accessible price point across a wider range of projects, while preserving the fast production schedules and dependable ship times our partners count on. It is an engineered wood cabinet core made with a high percentage of recycled wood materials, produced in the USA, and designed to deliver consistent quality and performance.

Materials like EcoCore™ board are widely used across the industry because they balance stability, efficiency, and responsible sourcing. By incorporating this construction option, we are able to maintain production consistency, reduce material waste through the reuse of wood byproducts, and continue meeting strict emissions standards, all while keeping cabinet costs more approachable for customers.

Most importantly, EcoCore™ board is about expanding choice, not replacing it.

For customers who prefer all-plywood construction, that option remains fully available across our entire semi-custom offering. Together, these construction choices give you the flexibility to match the right solution to the right project, without compromising factory-assembled quality, timelines, or service.

“EcoCore™ board gives our partners more flexibility to hit budgets without giving up the speed and reliability they expect from Ideal Cabinetry. It’s a practical update designed to help them stay competitive and win more jobs.”
— Bob Siegle, Vice President of Sales

At the end of the day, this update is about helping you serve more customers, hit more budgets, and win more jobs. EcoCore™ board strengthens our semi-custom program while staying true to what defines Ideal Cabinetry: cabinetry designed for speed, reliability, and long-term value.
