CABINET BASICS

Cabinet Basics

Homeowners often find the experience of renovating a kitchen frustrating and confusing. When making cabinetry design plans, you want to create a space that's as beautiful as it is functional. Although you may have an idea of how you want your new space to look, seeking cabinet design help from a professional can be advantageous when it comes to choosing cabinetry that is balanced in proportion and scale. Our designers will describe certain design factors that can impact how those cabinets will look in your home.

In addition to offering cabinet design plans for door style, wood type and color selections, our design specialists will typically prepare three types of documents for your review, including a floor plan, an elevation drawing of all of the walls that will receive the cabinetry and a perspective view from one or more vantage points within the space.

TYPES OF CABINETS

Cabinet Types

Cabinet boxes are typically built two ways: plywood or particleboard. Plywood has more holding power with screws, fasteners and glue than particleboard does. Plywood is made with layers of wood running both lengthwise and crosswise in a way that makes plywood stronger. It has a much higher tolerance for moisture than particleboard does, and this is a key feature to consider for areas with sinks, faucets and running water. Plywood is also much more resilient to damage such as blow-outs, dings and dents.

There are many names for particleboard; mediumdensity fiberboard (MDF), engineered wood, hardboard, substrate and furniture board are just a few. Particleboard is made by pressing wood particles together with glue and high temperature. Particleboard doesn’t typically expand and contract as the climate becomes warmer or colder. On the downside, the particles pressed together are heavier and don’t have the same per-square-foot strength of plywood. Additionally, particleboard is more susceptible to damage caused by moisture or by being crushed.

Cabinet Styles

There are three basic types of cabinetry: stock, semi-custom and custom cabinets. Each type provides different advantages depending on your needs and budget. Stock cabinets are at an entry level price point with limited options. Semi-custom cabinets offer more styles, finishes and features than stock cabinets, while custom cabinets offer the widest breadth of wood types, finishing options, construction platforms and modifications.

Stock Cabinets

Stock cabinets provide homeowners with a fast and easy way to give their kitchen a fresh new look. The cabinets are made in common cabinet sizes, and are available in a limited variety of door styles, colors and finishes. A stock brand can offer style, selection and value, along with speedy delivery, to keep your remodeling project on time and bring your vision to life.

Semi-custom Cabinets

Semi-custom cabinets are available in more styles, features and options than stock cabinets, allowing you to create a personalized look for your kitchen, at a more cost-effective price point than custom cabinets. These cabinets can be ordered in a wide choice of finishes, stains, paints, glazes and specialty finishing techniques such as distressing. They are also available with features such as roll out shelves, door racks and organization inserts, and can be embellished with crown molding, cabinet legs and feet, and a range of hardware choices to create a unique look.

Custom Cabinets

Custom kitchen cabinets offer the widest breadth of wood types, finishing options, construction platforms and modifications. The selection of styles, finishes and sizes ultimately affects the pricing, design, and style. Capable craftsmen and designers, like the manufacturers that we’ve aligned ourselves with, can meet any need, whether that means working from existing cabinet designs, or using a napkin-sketch approach to make new custom pieces in the manufacturing plant, ensuring that you end up with the exact cabinets you have imagined for your kitchen.
