Frameless Cabinetry
Frameless cabinetry is the more common European method of construction. It may also be called “full access” because it offers greater accessibility by eliminating the face frame. Instead it relies on the thicker box construction for stability. The hinges are directly attached to the sides of the cabinet box itself, rather than to a face frame.
Framed Cabinetry
Framed Cabinetry American cabinet companies for years have traditionally built cabinetry using framed construction. In this type of cabinet construction, the rails and the stiles form a “frame’ around the front of the cabinet box. The frame is attached to the door front. The advantage to this type of construction is that the door is secured to the frame, which gives the cabinet strength and sturdiness. Framed cabinets attach the door hinges to the face frame. The doors can overlay on the face frame partially or completely (full overlay).
Inset Cabinetry
Inset cabinetry is also a type of framed cabinet. In this case, rather than the door lying on the frame of the cabinet, it is set in the frame itself, creating an effect of doors that are flushed with the frame. Inset cabinetry has a very period look; many refer to it as a” New England” feel. Like framed cabinetry, the hinges are still mounted and attached to the frame of the cabinetry box.
