The Different Types Of Kitchen Cabinets You Can Choose
By Michel Cleark
Cabinets are one of the most focal aspects of any kitchen. Cabinets are a crucial fixture in any kitchen and can make all the difference in how your kitchen looks. The correct choice of cabinets is not easy to make and takes a lot of preparation and effort. One of the most important things to do before choosing the kitchen cabinets is to understand the choice of kitchen cabinets available.
There are three main styles of kitchen cabinets: stock, semi-custom and custom. The cabinets are arranged into these types on the basis of design and function, and not quality. The cabinets in these varieties differ from one another in terms of how much customization room there is, how expensive it is to get them installed and how long the process takes. If you don't like these three basic styles, you can also go in for the ready-to-assemble type. This option has become very popular with younger people and 'busy' home owners. Custom cabinets are made to suit specific needs of your kitchen. Hence, you can enjoy flexibility in terms of dimensions, design and type, ranging from maple cabinets to white kitchen cabinets. There is also the option of having accessories installed to meet specific requirements.
Custom made kitchen cabinets can be built at a workshop or in a factory. Customizing is great because you'll get cabinets that fit exactly right with your lifestyle and preferences, but the expensive costs and extended delivery period can be drawbacks for some. One thing should be clear about the custom cabinets - just because of the additional cost they are not better quality than semi-custom or stock, they are just more suitable to your requirements.
Semi-custom cabinets are available in standardized sizes and are built in factories. You can choose from a plethora of sizes and styles and also order numerous styles in varying sizes. The adjustments might come free of charge but the delivery and installation will take longer. But, when ordering customization, bear in mind that even the smallest changes to come with an overhead fee, however minimal it might be. If you customize indiscriminately you might end up spending a lot more money than you thought.
Stock cabinets are the ones that are available at stores. These items are generally delivered and installed very fast. The cabinets are made according to standard dimensions which are built according to average sizes. These cabinets are the most economical and easily available option for your kitchen.
At the end of the day your choice should be based on your needs and the amount you are willing to spend on the purchase and installation.
