kitchen cabinets
Kitchen cabinets have long been considered the iconic building blocks of any modern kitchen. They are found in almost every kitchen and serve as the heart and soul of the kitchen design. Kitchen cabinets are usually the centrally built-in furniture usually installed in all kitchens for storage of pots, cooking items, food, and also often silverware and extra dishes for entertaining table service. Other appliances like ovens, refrigerators, and dishwashers are also often incorporated into kitchen cabinet design.
The kitchen cabinets are made of several different types of materials including wood, steel, fiberglass, laminate, stainless steel, and MDF (medium-density fiberboard). While there are a number of wood species from which kitchen cabinets are made including oak, pine, cherry, ash, maple, hickory, beech, elm, teak, etc., for commercial use, wood doors and drawers are more common in homes. Wood doors and drawers have many advantages including being easy to clean and maintain, they don’t dent or scrape, they are very durable, and they provide excellent insulation from heat. Many manufacturers produce customized wood doors and drawers to fit the exact dimensions of your kitchen’s door opening.
Custom kitchen cabinets come in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials, and designs and can be built or purchased to meet your individual needs. Custom cabinets and canvases came in ready-made designs or you can order one of a kind cutting. Carriage front kitchen cabinets consist of four or more cabinets that are arranged in a circle around a central support. These carriages open upward and outward and are similar to a door carcase. They are usually designed with a cabinet drawer on each side of the circle.
Framed kitchen cabinets may consist of one or more doors, a drawer or face-frame and a cabinet face-frame. A door may be framed with glass or with wood and the face-frame may include hardware. Framed cabinets may be single sided or double-sided. Single sided cabinets may have one or two doors, while double sided cabinets may have one or two doors, as well as a face-frame. Double sided cabinetry is most appropriate for kitchen cabinets that will be exposed to moisture and high humidity, as well as for countertops exposed to high cooking temperatures. In addition, there are frameless cabinets available.
High-pressure engraving is a process used to create a highly durable product such as cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and faces. The process utilizes high-pressure liquid sodium (HPS), which is applied via an electronic spray. High-pressure engraving produces a high quality, durable product. When selecting a company to provide your kitchen design and cabinet design, find out if they utilize high-pressure HPS technology. The cost of high-pressure HPS will depend on the material being used in your project.
If you’re looking for kitchen cabinets that maximize efficiency, consider having custom face-frame cabinets. Custom face-frame cabinets are designed to fit your specific cabinet openings. This enables you to get the most storage possible from your kitchen cabinets while maintaining a streamlined appearance. When considering your kitchen cabinets, take into account the amount of space you have to work with, the design you want and the budget that are available.
