Cabinets
Cabinets are the main part of a kitchen. They will be the most evident part of the kitchen, and the major cost in a new kitchen. So choosing your cabinet style and construction is important, and plan your kitchen layout to make good use of your available space.
There are three basic types of kitchen cabinets:
- Stock
- Semi-custom
- custom
Stock manufactured cabinets
Mass produced cabinets are called Stock manufactured cabinets and are shipped either pre-assembled or ready-to-assemble. They are frequently available off-the-shelf at major DIY stores and on the internet. They come in a limited range of standard styles and sizes, with finishing and accessory options.
Semi-custom cabinets
A better quality cabinet is the Semi-custom cabinets and provide a greater selection of features, styles, and finishes, but they cost more than stock cabinets and might take longer to deliver. The cabinets are made to your specifications, and they may include various interior organizers and other enhancements.
Custom manufactured cabinets
If you want a cabinet built to your specifications then Custom manufactured cabinets are what you require. Here, you may select from a wide range of hardwoods, laminates, and veneers. Heights, widths, and depths are all customisable to meet your exact specifications; design options are limitless. Sliding shelves, pull-out pantries, and wine racks are just a few of the many storage features available.
Construction of cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are made with either face-frame or frameless construction methods. Face-frame cabinets have a frame that runs across the cabinet box face. Frameless cabinets, or European style cabinets, are made without a face frame. Doors cover the entire front of the cabinet box.
Whichever cabinet type you select, choose fully-adjustable hinges so that the doors can be adjusted side to side, up and down, and in and out. Opt for full-extension drawer slides, which allow access to the full depth of the drawer. Some cabinets feature drawer-closing mechanisms which gently pull the drawers closed.
