Framed Cabinets
Built to last. Framed for strength.
Framed cabinets are a classic choice in kitchen design, offering both durability and timeless appeal. In this construction style, a solid wood frame is attached to the front of the cabinet box, providing structure and support. Doors and drawers then mount to this frame, creating a sturdy, furniture-like appearance that has been favored in American homes for generations.
One of the key benefits of framed cabinetry is its strength. The frame reinforces the cabinet box and allows for flexible installation options, such as partial overlay, full overlay, or inset doors. This versatility makes it easy to customize the look and feel of your kitchen, whether you prefer a more traditional aesthetic or a modern twist on a classic design.
Framed cabinets also offer a familiar, welcoming charm. The visible face frame gives the kitchen a handcrafted look and feel, with detail that reflects thoughtful craftsmanship. It’s a great option for homeowners who want long-lasting performance without sacrificing style.
