Go stock or custom?
The most visible feature in the kitchen are the cabinets. Let's face it, nobody wants a kitchen cabinet that looks off-the-rack.
You want a custom look. And why not? The word "Custom" brings to mind a team of master craftsmen whittling away like a band of
elves to suit your every whim. Traditionally, custom cabinets involve the widest range of options built to your specific need and desire.
Outside of the Kitchen, Kitchen World can also design custom cabinetry for closets, computer centers, garages and living rooms.

| Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are something you use every day, yet you probably never take the time to appreciate them.
They seem simple enough, but there is actually more than plenty involved behind the scenes.
We've constructed a list of the most popular factors regarding the different styles of cabinetry:
- Traditional finishes such as painting or staining of natural wood, as well as glazing, laminates, veneer and polyester.
- Design examples of recessed panels, raised, flat, and beadboard panel.
- Drawer choices; full extension, track and roller, ball bearing, wooden slides and more.
- Common storage accessories and add-ons such as baskets, bins, and drawer organizers.

Cabinet Door Styles
|
|
The fashion in which a door fits over a cabinet box determines its fundamental classification.
|
Doors are classified as being one of five types which include:
- Inset Cabinet Door
- Lipped Cabinet Door
- Partial Overlay
- Full Overlay
- Tambour
|
|
Inset doors are designed to sit within the rails and stiles of the cabinet frame.
They are tightly fitted between the front edges of the cabinet box. In its truest make, inset doors are only assembled
to a framed construction, but recent designs use vertical pilasters to assemble the inset door on frameless cabinets.
Some sort of a knob or door pull is needed to open the doors and drawers with this type of door.
Lipped doors are similar to inset doors in that a part of the door still sits within the cabinet frame.
Along the entire back edge, a groove is made to fit over the face frame. This groove allows part of the door to rest in the
cabinet and leaves the remaining part resting on the surface of the cabinet. Once again, some sort of a knob or door pull is
needed to open the doors and drawers.
Partial overlay doors are mounted on the face frame. Overlay is a term used to describe the amount of the face frame that is
covered by the cabinet door. The part of the frame that remains visible is often called the reveal. Partial overlay doors typically
leave 1 inch of reveal on the face frame. This type of door is the most common type of cabinet door.
Full overlay doors practically cover the entire reveal. Less than one-eighth of an inch is left on the face frame between doors.
Full overlay doors are generally found on frameless cabinets but they can still be assembled on framed cabinets as well.
Hinges are concealed with this type of door and door knobs or pulls are needed to open the door.
Tambour doors consist of several separate pieces that are aligned together and attached to a flexible backing sheet.
This sheet is then installed on a track that allows it to pull up and down like a shade and also slide around a corner.
