Construction
Framed cabinets have a face frame around the box; frameless (full-access) cabinets do not, which changes the look and the usable opening. Inset doors sit inside the frame for a furniture-like line.

/ Styles
The door sets the character of the room. These are the families of door profiles most kitchens are built from — see them side by side in a showroom before you decide.
A flat recessed centre panel inside a square five-piece frame. Clean enough for modern rooms, warm enough for traditional ones.
A single flat door with no frame detail. Reads minimal and modern, and shows the finish or wood grain edge to edge.
A centre panel profiled up toward the face. Adds depth and shadow for a more formal, traditional kitchen.
A framed door with a glass insert, with or without mullions. Opens up upper runs and puts dishware on display.
/ Construction
Construction is decided before the door. It changes the look of the reveal, how much of the opening you can use, and how the doors meet the box.
| Framed | Frameless | Inset | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it is built | A solid face frame is attached to the front of the box; doors mount to the frame. | No face frame; doors mount directly to the box sides (often called full-access). | Doors sit inside the face frame, flush with it. |
| The look | A visible frame line between doors — the classic American kitchen. | Tight, continuous reveals; a clean, contemporary line. | Furniture-like, precise and traditional. |
| Interior access | The frame narrows the opening slightly. | The widest opening — useful for large drawers and pull-outs. | The frame narrows the opening; doors need exact fitting. |
| Good to know | The most widely offered construction across lines. | Pairs naturally with slab doors and handle-less looks. | Usually a premium option; confirm availability per line. |
/ How to choose
Framed cabinets have a face frame around the box; frameless (full-access) cabinets do not, which changes the look and the usable opening. Inset doors sit inside the frame for a furniture-like line.
The door profile sets the character of the room — from classic shaker to flat slab. Compare real doors in the same light as your space.
Paint, stain and specialty finishes behave differently over time and in different light. Finish options and lead times vary by brand and series.
Drawers, pull-outs and organizers often matter more day to day than the door itself. We plan storage around how you cook and live.
/ Process
We start with how you use the room — cooking, storage, traffic — and the budget range you are comfortable with.
See construction, door styles and finishes side by side, and open real drawers and pull-outs.
Your designer plans every cabinet, filler and accessory, and walks you through the drawings before anything is ordered.
Our project team manages delivery, installation and the finishing details through to the final walkthrough.
