We offer FRAMELESS or BOX Cabinets. There is another type of cabinet, a FRAMED cabinet, that is a different construction. Our frameless cabinet BOXES have four wood sides and base and top. They are far sturdier than RTA fiberboard cabinets you might find at IKEA or Home Depot.
But let me clarify the difference between frameless and framed. You can save some real money and achieve the look you want more easily if you understand the difference.
With FRAMED cabinets, a border or frame (of about 2 inches) hides the edge of the cabinet box. The face frame adds strength. The door of framed cabinets is attached to the frame’s side or under the frame. Framed cabinets usually have a box made of plywood, particleboard or medium density fiberboard (MDF).
Here’s a kitchen of FRAMED white cabinets:
If you’re seeking a traditional look for your kitchen, go with framed cabinets and wood or wood-look doors and drawer fronts. Framed cabinets have a classic appearance unlike the frameless, more modern styles.
Frameless cabinets are sometimes more economical, although this also depends on the chosen style and material. However, you’ll find that super modern, high gloss fronts add to the cost as do plywood boxes versus MDF, in either style.
I’d suggest comparing prices of framed and frameless cabinets for your new kitchen.
