“Part of my mandate as Elmwood’s Color Specialist is to translate inspirations into winning formulations for paint and stain finishes. Being able to balance innovation with repeatable results applied by hand is no easy feat. For our new launch we prototyped and trialed close to a dozen different finish options.”

‘’Our specialty hand-applied finishes are part of what makes Elmwood distinct, and our new launch for 2024 reinforces this. At Elmwood we saw an opportunity to expand upon our wide range of ever-popular standard Stain & Glaze finishes. We are pleased to introduce our two new introductions into the category, ‘Maritime’ and ‘Rockport’.

To compliment our new Stains we have four new standard Paint colors that are ahead of the trends. Our new Coastal, Cliffside, Harbour and Mountain Pine bring a new palette of comfort and sophistication. They add a freshness to the palette while also poised to become instant classics in our Spectrum.

As Mike mentioned, our team went through many interpretations and trials to land on these new finishes and we are thrilled to share them with our Design Partners across North America’’.

Unjustified tariffs threaten Canadian cabinet manufacturing and our shared future​.On Monday, September 29, the U.S. Administration announced a 25% tariff on Canadian cabinet imports, set to double to 50% in January.

For over 40 years, Canadian manufacturers like Cabico&co have been respectful, fair-market competitors, bringing value and craftsmanship to U.S. partners.
