In our modern manufacturing facility, MARAbrek creates beautiful custom cabinetry to meet your families' ever increasing needs.

Offering one of the largest selections of both counter top surfaces and door sample selections in central Ontario means our customers never settle for second best. MARAbrek offers an endless selection of your choice of wood varieties including: teak, oak, maple, cherry, walnut, and more.

All MARAbrek cabinetry is custom manufactured in our modern Brechin facility. Many products are machined and sanded by hand to achieve our MARAbrek look of distinction. Our expert staff custom match colours to meet your needs or create new colours to best achieve your preference in cabinetry whether it is an antique crackle finish, glazing, or other variety of finish. All finishing is completed by hand with either petroleum based lacquers or environmentally friendly water based stains and/or lacquers. These products do not contain any chemicals on the Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) list and are all Greenguard compliable containing no Volatile Organic Compounds.

Green Cabinetry


We currently manufacture kitchens and other cabinetry using LEEDs - Leadership in Environmental Engineering and Design, with compliant plywoods and Greenguard compliant finishes. This makes for a truly environmentally friendly product. Our wood and other materials are harvested and manufactured by companies that belong to the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). These designations are mandates to insure our products are harvested in an environmentally friendly operation. For the customer, this means caring for your family as well as the earth. We also ensure that environmental products are used to fabricate your fixtures. Our finishes are Greenguard Indoor Quality certified, having no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) or Hazardous Air Pollution (HAP) emissions.

We offer a complete custom start to finish renovation service for your kitchen or bathroom to help add beauty to your home.

Custom interior design with the earth in mind.
