In your kitchen renovation project, cabinet door replacement also takes up a huge portion of your renovation budget. All of this leads to a selection process that takes a lot of time. So you can have your dream kitchen in less time by understanding the basics and knowing your options.
Cabinet Construction Types
Let’s
have a look at different types of cabinets and the materials needed to build
them.
1. Custom Cabinets:
Custom-designed
cabinets are hand-crafted from scratch by a carpenter. They are available in
different types of styles and sizes because they can be built according to your
exact specifications. Your cabinets are designed according to you, which means
they are entirely under your control and you have complete freedom to change
the layout of your kitchen. For example, if you want base cabinets with
scrolling legs and feet that match the furniture or you want to change the
overall layout of your kitchen to give your kitchen a fresh look, custom built cabinets doors are the way
to go. However, custom cabinets are very expensive and it takes a long time to
build. So it is important to planning well in advance while choosing the custom
cabinets.
2. Semi-Custom/Semi-Stock Cabinets:
Semi-custom/semi-stock
these two words are a bit confusing in the cabinet world. Some people say
“semi-custom” while other say “semi-stock” and some people say both. These
types of cabinets have a lot of variety than stock cabinets but not as many
options as custom cabinets. They are less expensive in comparison to custom built cabinets, but it totally
depends on your selection. If you want to have semi-custom cabinets, then you
have to wait for some time because the delivery of such cabinets takes almost
four to six weeks. But if you go showroom to buy the cabinets then you can take
an idea of what you’re getting and it also helps you to visualize how your
kitchen cabinets will look after installation.
If
you think to go from custom to semi then you don’t need to worry because the
materials of the semi cabinets are also durable like custom cabinets.
Semi-custom cabinets are constructed of plywood or engineered wood. So from
plate racks to pantries and from sliding shelves to corner cupboards, they
might be the best fit for your kitchen.
