Exploring the Different Types of Cabinet Styles by LSC Cabinetry

Choose the Style That's Right for You

When it comes to designing the perfect cabinetry for your home, choosing the right style is crucial. At LSC Cabinetry, we pride ourselves on offering a variety of cabinet styles that cater to diverse tastes and functional needs. Established in 2007 by Larry Chivers, a seasoned cabinetmaker with over 25 years of experience, LSC Cabinetry ensures that each project is overseen with meticulous attention to detail. Here, we explore the different types of cabinet styles that we design.

Full Overlay Cabinets

Full overlay cabinets are a popular choice for many homeowners due to their sleek and modern appearance. These cabinets feature doors and drawer fronts that fully overlay the face frame, leaving only minimal gaps of about 1/8 inch where the doors and drawers meet. This style offers a seamless look, providing a clean and contemporary feel to your kitchen or bathroom. The minimal gaps also maximize storage space and offer a uniform, streamlined aesthetic.

Flush Inset Cabinets

For those who appreciate a more traditional and timeless look, flush inset cabinets are an excellent option. In this style, the doors and drawers sit flush with the openings of the face frame, creating a smooth and integrated appearance. The reveals, or gaps, around the edges are typically 3/32 inch, adding a subtle detail that highlights the craftsmanship. Flush inset cabinets are often associated with high-end, bespoke cabinetry and bring a refined elegance to any room.

Frameless Cabinets

Frameless cabinets, also known as European-style cabinets, do not have a face frame. Instead, the doors and drawer fronts overlay the edges of the cabinet box entirely. This design provides a clean, modern look with continuous lines and smooth surfaces. The edges of the cabinet boxes are typically veneered, ensuring a polished finish. Frameless cabinets are known for their efficient use of space, as they offer more accessible storage compared to face frame styles.

Semi-Custom Modular Cabinets

If you are looking to balance quality and budget, semi-custom modular cabinets might be the ideal solution. These cabinets come in standard sizes and styles, which helps to keep costs down while still offering good quality. Although the range of styles and colors is more limited compared to fully custom-built cabinetry, semi-custom modular cabinets provide a practical and aesthetically pleasing option. They are a great choice for homeowners who want to achieve a custom look without the custom price tag.

Customization and Quality Assurance

At LSC Cabinetry, we understand that each homeowner has unique needs and preferences. That is why we offer both fully custom and semi-custom options, allowing you to create the perfect cabinetry for your space. Larry Chivers, with his extensive experience in both face frame and frameless styles, personally oversees each project to ensure that it meets your exact specifications. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail sets us apart, providing you with cabinetry that is both beautiful and functional.
