Your Fine Cabinetry in Austin, Texas can have Many Door Types
Last time in Fine Kitchen Cabinetry in Austin, Texas I wrote about the cabinet carcass and the finishes applied to it's front making up a Northern face frame or a frameless European look of your fine fine cabinetry. Each type will accomodate mounting doors using a concealed Euro 32 mm bore hinge and installation is accomplished by varying the type of mounting plate that attaches to the carcass. The mounting plates are specific for the design once the doors are applied in an overlay fashion. If the doors are recessed to be flush with the carcass face then other types of hinges can be used such as wrap around or door stile bore types. Non concealed hinges come in many forms such a strap, Youngdale kerf units, flush, or offset and are used to create a certain style such as an antique look. These hinges also come in many finishes like brass, chrome, or black to name a few.
Frameless European cabinets can either be wooden or covered in plastic laminate per your choice. The laminated application makes for a cleaner application and provides for easy maintenance. These doors are flat with no crevices to conceal grease and grime.
If you go for the wooden model there are many choices from which to choose. These include a slab as above with the edges banded with heat tape or a 1/4" rip of the same wood specie as the door, a flat slab using a lip molding on the edge creating a 3/8" offset door, a raised panel with a 3/4" insert, a flat panel with a 1/4" insert, or a Shaker style with a varying divisions of the face.
Any of these will work and are truly a personal preference. So whether you are furnishing a new kitchen or bathroom space or are going for a kitchen or bath upgrade be sure you consider all the possibilities and design the room for function.
Raised Panel Doors Can Be Square, Single, or Double Arched
