Face Frame Cabinet Doors
Full Overlay Cabinets:
​
Full overlay cabinets feature doors and drawers that completely cover the cabinet frame, providing a seamless and modern look. With minimal visible frames, they offer a sleek and streamlined appearance, often found in contemporary kitchen designs.
​
Half Overlay Cabinets:
​
Half overlay cabinets have doors and drawers that partially cover the cabinet frame, leaving a portion of the frame visible. This style offers a balance between the traditional look of inset cabinets and the modern aesthetic of full overlay cabinets. It's a popular choice for various kitchen styles, providing a blend of functionality and visual appeal.
​
Inset Cabinets:
​
Inset cabinets are set into the cabinet frame, with doors and drawers flush with the frame. This creates a clean and timeless look reminiscent of fine furniture craftsmanship. Inset cabinets offer a classic and elegant aesthetic, perfect for traditional or transitional kitchen designs, and they often feature exposed hinges for added charm.
