Types kitchen cabinets:


 

Introduction

There are many types of kitchen cabinets. Some of the most common types include inset, overlay, and slab.

Inset cabinets

Insets are cabinets that are recessed into the wall. They can be used in kitchens with lower ceilings, but they also work well in rooms with higher ones. Because insets allow for more storage space than other cabinets, they're a popular choice if you want to maximize your storage while still maximizing the amount of space available for cooking or dining.

When combined with other types of kitchen cabinets—like islands and uppers—insets can provide even more options for cooking, prepping food, storing things like pots and pans and dishes (in the dishwasher), preparing cold items like salads or sandwiches, etc. This makes them ideal choices if you're trying to design a kitchen with maximum versatility so it can be used by multiple members of your household at different times during the day/week/month/year.

Full overlay cabinets

Full Overlay Cabinets

Full overlay cabinets are the most common type of kitchen cabinets. They can be made of wood, metal or plastic. They have a flat front and back with sides that extend beyond the frame to cover it. This results in an attractive finish that conceals any imperfections in the wall material, such as unevenness or small gaps between boards. These cabinets are typically used in modern kitchens because they allow you to see all sides of your fancy stainless steel appliances from anywhere in the room!

Full overlay cabinets come in many different styles including shaker style (named after furniture makers who invented this style), contemporary and country cottage—but they share the one thing: their ability to mask uneven walls with ease!

Partial overlay cabinets

Partial overlay cabinets are a combination of inset and overlay. They have a face frame that is attached to the wall, but is not attached to the cabinet. This type of cabinet is also called “half-overlay” or “semi-overlay” because only one side has an attached face frame.

In addition to being easy to install, these cabinets have several other advantages:

  • They're easier to make than full overlay cabinets without losing much of their strength

  • They don't need any additional support from underneath due to the fact that it's not on top of another piece like with full overlay cabinets

Slab cabinets

Slab cabinets are made from solid wood, such as oak or birch. These cabinet choices are popular in traditional-style kitchens. They can be finished to create a classic look, or left unfinished for a rustic look that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. Slab cabinets aren't available in all styles and sizes, so keep this fact in mind when shopping for your kitchen remodel project.

Slab cabinets tend to be less durable than other types of cabinetry because they are not reinforced with anything other than glue and nails (and sometimes screws). This makes them susceptible to warping over time due to changes in temperature and humidity levels throughout the year.

Recessed panel cabinets

Recessed panel cabinets are a type of cabinet with a recessed panel. The panels are recessed into the face frame, and they're typically made of hardwood such as oak or maple. A wide variety of wood species can be used to create this look, including cherry and walnut.

The panels can be painted or stained to match the kitchen's color scheme, so you have some flexibility in choosing the finish that best complements your decorating style.

Raised panel cabinets

Raised panel cabinets are the most popular and expensive of the three types of kitchen cabinets. They have a raised pattern on the doors and drawers, which is why they are called “raised panel”. They are durable and can be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge very easily. The cabinets themselves consist of solid panels that make them especially easy to install as they do not require any extra hardware or tools to put together once you have cut them down to size.

Here are many types of kitchen cabinets that you can use.

Kitchen cabinets come in a variety of styles. The most common types are:

  • Standard: These cabinets have doors that swing open on hinges and a face frame with either metal or wood moldings.

  • Frameless: This style does not have a face frame, so the cabinet appears to float above the countertop or wall.

  • French door: These cabinets have an opening at the top half that allows you to see inside without having to open them all the way up.

Cabinet construction refers to how they're put together, but it's usually more important than what they're made out of because it affects their durability as well as how easily you can install them yourself (or have someone else do it for you). The most common methods are:

  • Face-frame construction uses 1x4s (2x4s in some cases), which are nailed together around the perimeter of each side board and then glued into grooves cut into vertical support panels called "stiles." Face frames add strength while also giving your kitchen more visual appeal by covering up any unattractive gaps between boards on both sides where they meet at corners where walls meet ceilings/floors etc... If you're doing this yourself however make sure everything is aligned perfectly before nailing anything down since once glued there's no going back! Some people prefer this method since no tool marks show through when looking directly at your wall from across room which makes them easier maintenance free look when compared with other types like metal clad doors that require painting annually if not more often depending on usage frequency."

Conclusion

Now that we have discussed the different types of kitchen cabinets, it’s time to decide which ones are right for your home. If you need help choosing the best option for your needs, consider hiring a professional interior designer who can advise you on what type works best based off their experience with other clients whose lifestyles might be similar yours.
