Re: Custom Kitchen Cabinets
开云体育Mac, I’ve done all types, but I much prefer to do an insert door/drawer with a frameless cabinet - similar to what Joe mentions. ?My clients seem to like this as well since it brings a contemporary flair to an otherwise traditional cabinet design. ?Ultimately the choice has a lot to do with the overall design esthetic of the home/room, with victorian at one end, and modern at the other. ?Most of the situations I run into (and prefer to work on) are traditional homes that are being updated in the design esthetic without going hard over to full contemporary cabinets. ?Some examples are shown below the employ this inset frameless build style.This piece is solid cherry, and the case perimeter is 22mm thickness for both the upper and lower units. Because the client preferred traditional butt hinges, the door/drawer faces are aligned with the cabinet sides. ?Obviously, if contemporary hardware iwere used, the doors/drawer faces can be recessed as desired. ?Build log is?. ? Below is the companion buffet piece in the same kitchen with a more traditional frame/panel end caps but with flush inset doors/drawers to tie in to the other painted cabinet details in the background. ?Build log?. In the example below, the cabinet boxes are 30mm thick (18+12mm thick ApplyPly sandwich) with 4mm hardwood edging on the front giving the impression of face frame detailing. ?The doors/drawers are recessed 4mm and employ Blum hinges and undermount slides providing a nice reveal, while at the same time bringing in a contemporary flavor to an otherwise traditional (1940’s) home. ?Build log is. The cabinets below are three units (for transport) stacked vertically. ?Note the reveal around the perimeter of the entire assembly. ?The door is a square edge profile with over-width styles & rails - I called it “contemporary Shaker”.?
