Know your options for cabinets before you buy.

If you are in the market for new kitchen cabinets, you should know the choices that you will have before you. You will be expected to make a few important decisions before you can get the exact look you want for this room in your house. Know the main choices you will have to make before you shop so that you are ready when it comes time to buy.

One of the main choices that you will have is the wood type for your kitchen cabinets. Consider the theme of your home as well as your preferences before making this choice. If you enjoy darker colors, you should think about alder, which often comes in dark brown. Cherry wood is also slightly dark and is considered quite elegant. Maple often comes in lighter tones if that is what you prefer, while oak is slightly darker but still on the light side. Of course, all of the wood types come in varying shades, so inquire about what is available before you buy.

You will also need to choose the profile of the doors before you buy kitchen cabinets. For example, if you select a raised panel arch, the middle of the door is raised with an arch just above it. You can also get doors with a square shape in the middle, as well as a cathedral arch, which is a bit more unique. You can also opt for recessed panels, which feature a middle that is recessed rather than raised. This type is bordered by a raised square, arch, or cathedral arch, as well.

Another decision that you will have to make is whether you want hardware on your kitchen cabinets. Most do not automatically come with handles or knobs, but you can choose for them to be added. You can also add them on your own later, but it will require that you drill a hole in each cabinet and insert a knob or handle. You can choose from plastic, wooden, and metal hardware, and it can be either basic or complex, perhaps with a design engraved on it.

Clearly, there are many options that you have when it comes to choosing kitchen cabinets, which means that preparation is necessary to make the shopping process faster. Having an idea of what you want can help you get it as soon as possible. This will allow you to finally have the cabinet type that you have always wanted for your home.

Where to Find Affordable Quality Cabinets

LKN Cabinets and Remodeling is proud to carry some cabinet lines that are RTA (or ready to assemble). We enjoy the fact we can control the assembly and delivery of the finished product to our clients in the greater Charlotte, NC region. LKN Cabinets and Remodeling first starting using RTA cabinets about 8 years ago when we purchased a vanity from Home Depot that was RTA. The assembly seemed awkward, quality weak and time consuming. This lead us down a path of trying to find a quality and traditional assembly required RTA product. It took us a few years but we finally found an American wood product that was being outsourced as an RTA. The quality was excellent but the assembly still not what it could be. However, just over 2 years ago LKN Cabinets and Remodeling joined forces with several little know brand names of RTA cabinets to discover the best quality cabinet with a traditional assembly- glue and screw mainly. Problem solved and the billboard for our company went up.

Of course, we also carry domestic name products such as Timberlake (www.timberlake.com)  and Kabinart cabinets (www.kabinart.net) .

Either route you go we have an affordable option for your next kitchen and bath remodel. Just give me a call at 704-232-5169 or visit our webpage at www.LKNcabinets.com
