Kitchen Cabinets - Types of Cabinets For Your Home



Kitchen cabinets are usually the built-in furniture placed in most kitchens for storage of cooking equipment, food, and even sometimes silverware and dishes for side table service. Other appliances like ovens, refrigerators, and stovetops are commonly integrated to kitchen cabinet furniture. These kitchen equipments are usually needed in a kitchen because it serves as the storage for utensils and other kitchen stuffs. As such, cabinet furniture is usually constructed durable enough to last for decades and with modern designs can even be very stylish. Kitchen cabinets that come in conventional designs may be cheaper but it is not recommended to settle for them especially if you are looking forward to build your own kitchen cabinets.

You can buy kitchen cabinets either in stock designs or custom designs. Stock cabinets are normally bought in ready-made pieces and you can easily purchase them from any hardware store or home depots where they are sold in bulk. But the drawback in buying them in bulk is that they may have minor damages which makes them less durable and may even break during transportation or transit. This makes them less flexible when it comes to customization. If you are thinking of doing customized kitchen cabinets, you would need to have extra budget for this.


Custom kitchen cabinets are those that are made on your own specifications and are made to fit the existing layout or blueprint of your kitchen. They are built using materials that are specially intended to withstand the rigors of constant use of food preparation, frequent cleaning, and even extreme temperature changes. The materials used for cabinetry are usually plywood, particle board, MDF, wood glue, teak, stainless steel, hardboard, and even wood colored for aesthetic appeal. To ensure durability and long lasting beauty of your cabinetry, the design is usually completed with high quality materials like MDF or particle board with a water based paint. It should be made using a minimum of 24 inches deep doors for greater durability.

Built-in kitchen cabinets are those that are built into the wall of your kitchen. They provide you with the best protection for your most valued possessions, as they are completely enclosed. This is usually accompanied by a door that is built into the wall. If you are looking for a more customized look, you can have the door built to your specifications.


For both types of cabinetry, there will be an option for you to pick the color of your kitchen cabinet doors. For an unrivaled finish and protection, there are also specially-built steel doors that come with smooth surfaces and matching drawer pulls. Another change with built-in kitchen cabinets is that the frames will no longer be made of wood but will now be made of either metal or glass. Some kitchen cabinets that are already built have replaceable drawer pulls so you can replace any that get worn out.

For homeowners on a tight budget, there are also some cheaper options for constructing your kitchens' cabinets. There are lower cabinets that can be purchased directly from the store, which are typically just a few inches thick and four feet in length. There are also conversion kits that you can purchase from your local home improvement center to convert your existing kitchens' cabinets to a lower cabinet height.
