All About Cabinets

Are you considering new kitchen cabinets? If so, there are several key factors to keep in mind. In this blog post, we will focus on three popular door styles, framed vs. frameless cabinets, and cabinet construction.

Let's start with door styles. Raised panel cabinets are a great choice for traditional or formal kitchens. They have a center panel that is raised above the surrounding frame, which gives them a decorative look. Raised panel cabinet doors are often made from solid wood and can be stained or painted to match your kitchen's color scheme.

If you're looking for a simpler and cleaner look, consider shaker cabinets. Shaker cabinets have a flat center panel and square edges that give them a versatile look, which works well with both traditional and modern kitchens. Shaker cabinets are available in a range of finishes and are often made from solid or engineered wood.

For a more contemporary option, flat panel cabinets are a good choice. Flat panel cabinets have a flat center panel and minimal detailing, which gives them a sleek, streamlined look that works well in modern kitchens. They are often made from engineered wood or laminate and come in a range of colors and textures.

Now, let's talk about framed vs. frameless cabinets. Framed cabinets have a frame around the edge of each door and drawer, which creates a traditional look. These are best for stacking cabinets, or if you want to add trim or details. Frameless cabinets, on the other hand, do not have a frame, creating a more modern, streamlined look. They have bigger interiors and are easier to access.

Lastly, let's discuss cabinet construction. Plywood is the premium material for cabinet box construction, known for its strength and durability. Lower-end cabinets may use particleboard or MDF. Dovetail box construction is a technique that involves interlocking the corners of the box to create a sturdy, long-lasting structure, as opposed to gluing and stapling. These features are essential for ensuring that your cabinets are built to last.

When choosing your cabinets, it's essential to consider your personal style, budget, and the overall look and feel of your kitchen.
