Which cabinet door construction to select??

Lydia Percell

We're building a vacation home in the foothills of southern Virginia. While shopping for cabinetry, I've been told that a solid wood slab door is a bad idea (as is solid wood flooring) because of the seasonal temperature variations experienced by an unoccupied home (to save on energy costs, we will certainly keep heating and cooling to a minimum during our absences).

Is this a valid concern both for cabinetry as well as solid wood flooring? Would we truly be better off with wood veneer and engineered wood flooring as I've been hearing?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
