When choosing cabinetry for a project, you should consider how many cabinets fit in the space, how you plan on using them, their longevity and the full range of cabinet door styles that will suit your tastes and decor. Cabinet construction influences the appearance and functionality of your kitchen or bath. There are two styles that are most common, framed and frameless cabinetry, that result in distinctive features and overall appearance.
Understanding the differences between framed and frameless cabinets, will help you make a sound decision for your remodeling project.
Framed cabinets are by far the most common type of cabinetry. Framed cabinets have a solid wood or MDF (medium density fiberboard) face frame attached to the front of the cabinet box. The frame features two horizontal wood pieces, or rails, that are often an inch and a half wide and three-quarter inches thick, plus two vertical wood pieces, called stiles, with identical dimensions.
The face frame covers the front of the cabinet box and serves both decorative and functional purposes. For instance, it provides structural support for the Cabinet Doors because they attach to the inside part of the frame. The cabinet door style also determines whether the hinges are visible or hidden. Doors and drawers attach differently to the frame to create distinct looks. The overlays define how much of the frame shows when you open and close the doors and drawers. Standard overlay cabinets feature a 1/2" overlay and full overlay cabinets feature a 1 1/4" overlay.
There are three primary types of framed cabinet overlays:
Framed cabinets combine a classic look with the practical ability to support heavy countertops.
Frameless cabinets, or full-access cabinets, are a modern construction style that does not include the face frame. This European construction style has rapidly gained worldwide popularity. The doors or drawers create the face of the cabinet for a smooth, contemporary finish. The doors cover the entire front of the cabinet box and attach to the cabinet sides with concealed hinges.
Full-access cabinets adopt a full-overlay style with minimal space between doors and drawers and no horizontal rails or vertical stiles. They often use heavier wood materials like MDF (medium density fiberboard) to compensate for the lack of the face frame, ensuring more stability. Frameless cabinetry is ideal for several styles, including modern, transitional, contemporary decor.
Frameless cabinets offer a seamless appearance and easier access to stored items.
