CUSTOM CABINETRY CONSTRUCTION

Cabinetry construction refers to how cabinet boxes, doors, and drawers are built and assembled—impacting both the look and function of your space. Below, we compare the three most common cabinetry construction styles to help you determine which is right for your home.

INSET CABINETS

Doors and drawers are set flush within a frame applied to the front of the cabinet box, creating a tailored, furniture-like look.

FULL OVERLAY CABINETS

Doors and drawers are mounted onto a frame applied to the front of the cabinet box.  (*Counter cabinets are inset and base cabinets are full overlay)

FRAMELESS CABINETS

Doors and drawers are mounted directly to the front of the cabinet box, without a frame. This construction allows for smaller reveals (spacing) between doors and drawers, creating a clean, modern look.
