Are there really different options when it comes to cabinet profiles?
A. Yes. Many people are unaware that by simply changing the way the doors and drawer fronts work with the face frame can significantly change the look of their cabinetry. Three popular options are Inset Door Style, Half Inch Overlay Door Style, and Full Overlay Door Style. Inset Door Style is simply what it says, inset. The door is “framed” inside the face frame opening creating a smooth flat surface over the entire face of the cabinet. Half Inch Overlay Door Style is one of the most common styles you will find in the cabinet industry. The door rests on the outside of the face frame covering the frame of the cabinet one half inch all the way around the opening. Full Overlay Door Style creates a unique look by using the door and drawer front as a decorative component as well as a functioning piece. The door covers the entire face frame creating a very contemporary feel to the cabinet face.
