Interior Wood Doors, Cabinetry, and Millwork Product Guidance

Use the red-to-green product guidance below to select safer product types by avoiding those in red and preferring yellow and green, which are safer for occupants, fenceline communities, and workers.

When choosing interior wood doors, cabinetry, and millwork:

• Prefer solid wood materials over composite.
• Opt for plywood over other composite wood whenever possible.
• When using composite wood, specify materials that are NAF (No Added Formaldehyde) whenever possible.
• Prefer solid wood veneer facings over laminate, melamine, or thermofoil.
• Prefer solid wood veneer edge banding over plastics like melamine and PVC.
• If staining or painting is necessary, prefer water-based factory-applied finishes.
• Avoid adhesives when possible and prefer mechanical joining methods.
• Avoid hardware that contains antimicrobial treatments.
