Cherry

Types of Wood

Cherry is a warm hardwood known for its smooth grain, rich colour, and elegant natural character. Its refined appearance makes it a strong choice for door styles that lean traditional, classic, or timeless.

Best for
Traditional kitchens, furniture-inspired cabinetry, warm stains, rich wood tones, and homeowners looking for a more formal or refined natural wood look.

Characteristics

  • Smooth, fine grain with a naturally elegant appearance.
  • Warm colour tones that can range from lighter reddish-brown to deeper, richer shades.
  • Accepts stain beautifully, often creating a deep and sophisticated finish.
  • Offers natural variation in colour and grain, adding depth and character to finished doors.

Design Considerations

Cherry naturally deepens and darkens over time, especially with exposure to light. This colour change is part of the character of real Cherry wood and should be expected. Natural colour variation, mineral streaks, and grain differences may also be present from door to door.

We recommend viewing an actual door sample with your Merit dealer before finalizing your selection.
