OUr Bellflower II Plan Featuring Norcraft Cabinets in the Parker Design and DIVINITY color.
Cabinets
Norcraft Cabinets are found in every cabinet-needing room of our Affinity Homes from our kitchens to our spare bathrooms. These soft close, dovetail cabinets are a high quality cabinet made in the USA! The quality begins with Norcraft building its own doors to ensure quality and meet the demands of short production cycles.
Other Norcraft Cabinet amenities:
The functional hardware; drawer glides and hinges are built for Norcraft by some of the best manufacturers in the industry.
The cabinets are finished using the best techniques in the industry. The stains and paints are hand applied. The finish coat is oven cured for strength, durability, and the best grain clarity.
The cabinets are packaged individually using the proper corner protectors. They ship to the local dealer on trucks dedicated for their products and using carriers that are used to handling cabinetry.
Bella Cera Engineered Hardwood featuring the Bergamo Collection in Mocha shown in our Bellflower II Plan.
Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Bella Cera engineered hardwood floors are installed in our Affinity Homes main living areas. They look and feel exactly the same as solid wood floors, but they are more beautiful and far more flexible, especially great for higher humidity climates such as Iowa. So for most homes, engineered hardwood is the better choice and greener choice.
Engineered flooring is composed of seven cross-stacked layers which make it more resistant to humidity and moisture, unlike a strip of solid wood, which can bend or bow, as can happen with longer solid planks.
Bella Cera flooring artisans have been personally trained by a nationally-renowned hardwood flooring master to "read" each piece of wood, determining its one-of-a-kind personality, and then to choose the right tools and techniques to fully bring out this character. Bella Cera flooring craftsmen are highly skilled at adding natural-looking chatter marks, antique wear and tear, distressing, scraping, worm holes and more, in different areas of each board, without repetition of patterns, depths, etc.
There are no machines, no assembly lines, no large quantities being pushed through quickly to save time and money. Each flooring plank is individually inspected for its unique patterns, grain and colorations, and hand-carved and scraped to complement its beautiful marks of individuality. No two floor boards are the same!
