When either building a new home or remodeling an existing, the kitchen is a great place to start. The kitchen and baths carry the most value in your home, and cabinets are at the heart of that equation.
So how does one go about selecting cabinetry? Well, there are many considerations. Type of cabinetry, style of cabinetry and price just to mention a few.
Cabinetry typically comes in two forms: Framed and Frame-less (also known as Euro Style.) Framed cabinetry refers to the use of a “face-frame”, or frame around the front face of the box. From an installers perspective, this type is more sturdy and can be “racked” if need be on installation. This means they bend (to a certain extent) more than a frame-less cabinet. It also uses slightly more material and can be slightly more expensive. From a consumers standpoint they have a more traditional look although when designed as a “full overlay” where little of the faceframe shows they can go contemporary very easily. A frame-less cabinet has no frame on the front, making it somewhat easier to access the contents within. Often this style is used in modern applications but again can work very well if styled correctly in a traditional setting. Continue reading »
