Consumer Information
There are many things involved with cabinet selections, including color, size, and function, but one of the key elements is the cabinet door build method. Inset cabinetry is a popular choice and can be seen in many of our completed projects. What is it exactly? What makes it unique? What benefits are there to choosing this over other build methods? That is the purpose of our blog today.
What Is Inset Cabinetry?
The way a cabinet door lies determines the overall look of the cabinets. Inset cabinet doors lie flat within the cabinet, meaning that they will require hardware to open and close. Hinge placement has two options: hidden or exposed; it just depends on your style. A seen hinge can add visual interest to the design, but a hidden hinge works well if you are looking to create a minimal look.
The Benefits Of Inset Cabinetry
There are multiple reasons why inset cabinets are a good choice for your home, including design appeal, durability, and craftsmanship. If you are trying to stay true to a particular period in your home, inset cabinets are a great choice because their design integrates well with multiple styles and eras. See an example of a 1824 home in this project. Because the cabinet doors are tucked within the frame, there will be minimal wear and tear, such as scratches or nicks. Inset cabinets are typically not an option offered by the average cabinet manufacturer, which requires a specific skill level and results in a product of high-quality craftsmanship. They are also an investment, as this cabinet style adds value to the home.
