Types of Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinets define the style and function of your kitchen. Determining the right kind of kitchen cabinets will make your kitchen more practical and increase the value of your home.

The Basic Cabinet

Kitchen cabinets come in two basic styles: face frame and frameless. Face frame cabinets have a wood frame on the outside of the cabinet box, and have more of a conventional look and the frameless are built without the outer frame and have a more modern look.

Doors

Cabinet doors can be solid or have glass inserts. Glass inserts come in a variety of styles such as clear, frosted or stained glass.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel cabinets never need to be refaced or painted. They are durable and you install them by simply screwing them into the wall.

Custom Cabinets

Custom kitchen cabinets are more costly, but add more to the value of your home.

Stock Cabinets

Most stock cabinets are purchased separately and are more economical. They can be mixed and matched, by using different colors or styles, and arranged to look as though they were custom made.
