What is Kitchen Cabinet

 

 

A kitchen cabinet is a type of built-in furniture specifically designed for storage and organization of kitchen items such as food, utensils, dishes, and appliances. It typically consists of a box-like structure with doors and shelves or drawers inside. The exterior of the cabinet is usually made from materials like wood, particleboard, plywood, metal, or plastic, and it can be finished with various coatings such as paint, stain, or veneer to enhance its appearance and durability.

 

Advantages of Kitchen Cabinet

 

Increased Storage Space
Kitchen cabinets provide ample storage options for various kitchen items such as cookware, dishes, small appliances, and food items. Cabinets help keep the kitchen organized by providing designated spaces for different items, reducing clutter on countertops and creating a tidy appearance.

Efficient Space Utilization
Cabinets make effective use of vertical and horizontal space in the kitchen. They allow you to maximize storage capacity by utilizing wall space, floor space, and corners, ensuring that every inch of the kitchen is utilized efficiently.

Easy Accessibility
Cabinets with shelves, drawers, and pull-out organizers offer easy access to kitchen items. You can conveniently organize and arrange items based on frequency of use, ensuring that frequently used items are easily reachable. This saves time and effort during meal preparation and cooking.

Protection and Preservation
Kitchen cabinets provide a protective enclosure for fragile and valuable kitchenware, protecting them from dust, moisture, and potential damage. Cabinets help preserve the quality and lifespan of items by keeping them safely stored and shielded from external elements.

Aesthetic Appeal and Design Options
Kitchen cabinets contribute to the overall visual appeal and style of the kitchen. They come in a variety of materials, finishes, and designs, allowing you to choose options that align with your preferred style, whether it's modern, traditional, rustic, or contemporary. Cabinets can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the kitchen, creating a cohesive and pleasing atmosphere.

Customization and Personalization
Kitchen cabinets offer customization options to suit individual needs and preferences. You can select cabinet styles, colors, finishes, and hardware that align with your desired aesthetic and functional requirements. Customization allows you to create a kitchen space that reflects your personal taste and lifestyle.

Kitchen Cabinet Materials

 

Linken White Marble Slabs

Plywood

The highest quality kitchen cabinets are made of cabinet-grade multi-layer plywood. Plywood cabinets are strong, easier to install and considerably lighter in weight than MDF or particleboard cabinets. While more expensive, plywood cabinets are a good choice if you expect to own the house for a long period.

Black Horse Granite

MDF

Medium-density fiberboard cabinets use up the fibrous byproducts of wood milling, so they’re considered to be relatively eco-friendly. MDF cabinets are usually faced in laminate or thermofoil since the MDF doesn’t take paint well.

Particle board

The lowest grade of material for kitchen cabinet boxes, particle board fractures easily and will expand and contract with environmental changes. But particle board cabinets are inexpensive, making them an ideal choice for shorter-term residency, cabins or rentals.

 

Common Types of Cabinets

Base Cabinets
Also called lower cabinets, these are the support and hold the entire kitchen together. These cabinets have a standard depth of 24 inches and a height of 28 inches (without skirting). The depth can be increased up to 27 inches based on specific applications or requirements. Height for the base cabinets is decided as per ease of use and facilitating an ergonomic design. Some kitchens feature base cabinets that rest over a ‘toe kick or skirting’ increasing the cabinet height to 32 inches.

Wall Cabinets
Also called upper cabinets, these are fixed to the wall above the countertop. Unlike the uniformity of base cabinets, upper cabinets are versatile, and their positioning and number can be adjusted based on the kitchen size and practical requirements. Upper cabinetry has a standard depth of 12 inches but can be increased to 17 or 18 inches if required.

Inventory cabinet
Stock cabinets are prefabricated and one-size-fits-all. They are the most affordable type of cabinets, but are generally less durable. Storage cabinets are typically made from particleboard, which degrades over time. Inventory materials cost only a few hundred dollars per unit, but they may need to be replaced sooner than pricier alternatives. These are a good choice for areas of the home that you don't plan to live in long-term or where leaks and moisture are known to cause rot in even the best cabinet materials.

Special Cabinets

Not found in every kitchen, they are designed as per practical requirements but add visual aesthetics as well as showcase the discreet and clever utilization of available kitchen space. Special units minimize space wastage and keep the kitchen better organized. These include tall cabinets with appliance storage, corner cabinets, counter extensions, suspended worktops and bottle racks.

Custom cabinets

These cabinets are built to last. They're easy to love because they can be made into odd shapes, allowing you to make the most of all the nooks, crannies and crannies of your kitchen. They offer unlimited storage opportunities and can look high-end. While you'll get exactly what you want from a custom cabinet maker, you'll also pay a hefty price for it. Custom materials vary based on quality and availability, but custom cabinets have the highest labor costs.

Tall Cabinets

These cabinets are designed to accommodate appliances as well as food and utensils. They are usually tailored as per the kitchen design. These units act as a great storage space and have a maximum height of 80 inches.

What to Consider Before Buying Kitchen Cabinets

New cabinetry can be quite an investment, but installing cabinets is usually not a DIY project. Between proper sizing, mounting, and hardware, there are lots of little ways that cabinets can be ruined by small lapses. When in doubt, seek the help of an experienced professional. To keep costs low, opt for replacing and refinishing cabinet doors rather than the entire cabinet box. Often, a new stain or coat of paint on cabinets will make the entire kitchen feel brand new.

 

These Are the 4 Most Popular Kitchen Cabinet Styles

 

Traditional
Inspired by the golden age of Europe, traditional is the most formal cabinetry style, often embellished with ornately carved details. The doors often have raised panels, sometimes featuring an arched design. Traditional cabinets are often found in rich color woods, but carved details might be treated with an antiquing or glazing effect.

Shaker
Shaker is the most stylistically versatile cabinet design. Thanks to its simple frame and panel structure, these cabinets blend in with either atraditional or a contemporary look. The style originates from the Shaker religious group that fled to the American colonies in the 1780s; the group became known for their simple, utilitarian, and smart design, including thefamouspeg rail.
Shaker cabinets are made from a five-panel door, which comprises a four-piece frame with a flat panel in the center. These cabinets are traditionally made from high-quality American wood, but it's now fairly common to see them painted in pretty much any color under the sun. For a more modern look, some homeowners will paint the upper cabinets one color, then use a different paint or wood stain for the lowers.

Country or Farmhouse
Country and farmhouse cabinets are essentially the same thing, and both styles are a more casual version of traditional cabinetry. There is often an introduction of more relaxed materials, such as beadboard, shiplap, tin metal, reclaimed wood, and sometimes glass doors or open shelving to enhance that charming feel. Country or farmhouse cabinets are almost always painted, and the most popular color is white, but other hues such as yellow, red, charcoal gray, and black are becoming more popular, too. There might be some mixing and matching of colors and cabinet styles throughout the space, but the overall color concept is driven by casual comfort.

Modern
Modern cabinetry is the least detailed of all the styles. Doors are usually flat panels with a full overlay and little to no molding or trim, which creates an unfussy, clean look. Naturally stained wood with very little grain, such as maple, is very common for this style of cabinetry. If painted, the most popular colors range from deep blues to black, white, and gray, but almost anything would work. Bright yellow or orange can easily be at home in a modern kitchen, and cabinets might also be painted in high-gloss or lacquered for an ultra-sleek effect.

 

 

Tips to Clean Kitchen Cabinets
  • Empty the kitchen shelf, cleaning the storage boxes with the dry cloth to remove the accumulated dust.
  • Vacuum it if you are cleaning your cabinet after a long time, to remove the dust/ flour and cobwebs.
  • Use soap and water to wipe out the exterior part of the cabinet shutter, use a toothbrush to clean the slider or hard to clean area.
  • Use naphthalene balls to avoid dampness in the cabinets, especially when it comes to under sink cabinets.
  • Clean your dustbins while cleaning the under sink cabinets, remove any spillage from the food.
  • Use newspaper to clean glass cabinets, or use a professional glass cleaner solution. Apply the same technique to clean mirrored cabinets.
  • Clean the kitchen cabinets handle with the help of a toothbrush which will allow you to clean smaller portion.

Kitchen Cabinet Structure Manufacturing Methods

The methods used to build cabinets vary depending on the manufacturer and the quality you pay for. Construction plus materials are the main drivers of overall cost. Kitchen cabinets that are primarily made of wood and custom-made will cost more than standard cabinets.

The joinery used in kitchen cabinet construction is directly related to their quality and durability. Less expensive cabinets will use nails, screws, staples and glue. While these are not true wood "joinery" techniques, they are found in lower quality cabinets. They can be used to augment more traditional technologies, but if used alone, they are generally less robust and less expensive.

Look for cabinets made with good joinery where the parts "lock" together like mortises or dovetails. Auxiliary fastenings such as glue, nails or screws can make cabinet connections stronger. Strong joints mean the cabinets are durable.

The construction method and materials of the cabinets will also affect the finish used. Standard cabinets are often covered with materials such as thermal foil or melamine. Wood cabinets allow you to customize the look using different finishes such as paint, stain, varnish, or glaze. Materials, construction, and finishes are three major factors in the total cost of kitchen cabinets.

FAQ
 

Q: What are the best quality kitchen cabinets?

A: The best quality kitchen cabinets are those that are made of 3/8-inch or thicker plywood for the cabinet boxes. Hinges on the cabinet doors are soft-closing, hidden Euro-style hinges. Drawers are joined by dovetail construction rather than with staples, and they slide in and out on undermount soft closing drawer glides.

Q: How much should I budget for new kitchen cabinets?

A: Kitchen cabinets comprise a majority of the overall kitchen remodel budget for many homeowners. In some cases, cabinets can take up half of the total budget. Most homeowners will spend anywhere from 14% to 41% of the total kitchen budget on cabinets, according to The Spruce.

Q: Should cabinets be lighter or darker than walls?

A: There is no rule about whether cabinets should be lighter or darker than the walls. When the cabinets are darker than the walls, the cabinets become the main feature of the kitchen. Darker cabinets can also have a ponderous feeling. Lighter-colored cabinets impart a contemporary or modern look to the kitchen. It is important to remember that walls can always be repainted to be darker or lighter than the cabinets.

Q: How deep are kitchen cabinets?

A: A standard base cabinet has a depth of 24 inches (61 cm). Cabinets located on the upper wall usually have a depth range of 12 to 24 inches (30.5-61 cm). Although these are the standard sizes, cabinets at a depth of up to 36 inches (91.4 cm) are also available.

Q: How do you install kitchen cabinets?

A: To install kitchen cabinets, attach a support board to marked studs located on the wall. The doors and hardware of the cabinets do not need to be on at this point (their absence makes installation easier). Secure the cabinets together, make sure they are flush via clamps, and then screw them together at the stile. Lift the cabinets onto the support board. The last step of installation is to drill the cabinet frame into the wall studs and attach the cabinet into the appropriate position with screws.

Q: How do you remove kitchen cabinets?

A: To remove kitchen cabinets, detach any molding and unscrew the cabinet from the soffit or ledger board. Take away all the cabinets and drawers and break the seal or caulking between the counter backsplash and wall. The countertop should be able to lift up from the cabinet.

Q: Should kitchen cabinets extend all the way to the ceiling?

A: The best way to answer this question is to ask yourself a few additional questions. First of all, what style do you like? Cabinet designs that reach the ceiling aren't for everyone—if you don't like the look, you shouldn't use these cabinets. Secondly, what is your budget? Adding this type of cabinetry will cost more because there is more material involved.

Q: Can a kitchen remodel add value?

A: A renovated kitchen can add value to your home. For homebuyers, the kitchen remains one of the most important spaces in the home. Therefore, homebuyers are more likely to pay more for a home if the kitchen is renovated and features new cabinets, added storage, new appliances, and granite countertops.

Q: Do cabinets usually come with hardware?

A: It all depends on where you buy from and what you want. Many cabinet suppliers offer the option of selling cabinets with or without hardware. If you buy cabinets with hardware included, it comes as a standard package. On the other hand, if you want custom hardware that's new, traditional, or rustic, you'll need to purchase it separately.

Q: How do I know if my kitchen cabinets are of good quality?

A: If you buy from a reputable supplier that offers a warranty on their products, that's a good sign that the cabinets are of good quality. Beyond that, you should look at the actual product. Cabinets should be assembled by a supplier to ensure they are professionally finished. High-quality cabinets also often come with features such as full-height backs, cushioned hinges, cushioned drawers, dovetail drawer boxes, and full plywood construction.

Q: What is the difference between stock cabinets and custom cabinets?

A: Stock cabinets are pre-built in the most common sizes needed by homeowners. Custom cabinets are typically more expensive and take time to order, whereas stock options can be purchased from a showroom and taken home the same day.

Q:Custom cabinets are tailored to your needs and desires; they are likely to be made in a local ?

A: Workshop, take longer to make, and are more expensive than stock cabinets.

Q: Did you install the wall cabinets first and then the base cabinets?

A: Yes, installing the wall cabinets first will make installing the base cabinets easier. If you were to reverse the process, you would have to lift the wall cabinets over the base cabinets.

Q: Is it cheaper to buy or build kitchen cabinets?

A: Building your cabinets is very cost-effective since you get to choose the kinds of materials you want firsthand and you won't have to pay for artistry. If you're not up for a full-blown construction or starting from scratch, you can buy low-priced pre-made cabinets and modify them to suit your style.

Q: What is the current trend in kitchen cabinets?

A: In terms of broader, full-kitchen cabinet designs, top trending choices include Modern Farmhouse featuring neutral colors and rustic detailing; Urban Industrial that mixes metals with warm tones for an edgier look; and Classic Contemporary that combines synthetic and natural materials for a bold experience.

Q: How much is a standard kitchen cabinet?

A: Pricing wise, they're listed in order—stock cabinets are cheapest, at around $60 to $200 per linear foot, semi-custom cabinets will run you around $100 to $650 per linear foot, and custom cabinets usually cost between $500 and $1,200 per linear foot.

Q: What materials are your cabinets made of?

A: All of our cabinets are constructed from solid birch hardwood and furniture-grade plywood, with thick, sturdy panels and shelves. The frame is also made of solid birch hardwood and the cabinets are made of high-quality plywood or built-up core.

Q: Do I have to prep the unfinished cabinets before finishing?

A: All unfinished cabinets will arrive pre-sanded, and prepped for finishing. However, additional surface preparation may be needed/desired based on the finish application and/or the discretion of the finisher. Please consult the finishing product manufacturer (paint, stain, etc.) for how to best prepare for finishing.

Q: Will the cabinets arrive sooner since they are unfinished?

A: Unfinished cabinets will still go through the normal production schedule. For information on current delivery timeframes, please see our Shipping page.

Q: Are the kitchen cabinets all wood or particleboard?

A: Our face frame and frameless cabinets are made from maple or cherry wood and furniture grade plywood. Some door styles utilize a Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) center panel. This has become an industry standard because MDF center panels are more resistant to changes in temperature and humidity. The euro frameless cabinets feature high tech acrylics laminated to either .75" white pine particleboard or .75" plywood.
