Semi-Custom Cabinets

Stock and ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinets are made in specific and limited door styles, sizes, and finish options. They are delivered quickly and are the most economical kitchen cabinet.

The creativity and flexibility of semi-custom cabinets are what sets them apart from other kitchen cabinet options. Full custom cabinets come with a variety of unique features listed below:

• Door styles – The door style of a cabinet gives it its defining look. As the most obvious aspect of the cabinet, an array of cabinets is given its characteristic appeal by this feature. Whether the intent is a traditional, contemporary, or transitional décor, the door style sets the underlying tone. An option of full overlay, partial overlay, or inset door type, sets the relation of the door size to the frame and consequently, the style of interaction between successive cabinets. The option creates either a smooth continuous look to the cabinet faces or a casual interrupted design. A further selection of either raised panel doors, recessed panel doors, slab doors, or mullion frame doors truly completes the design and sets the look.
• Wood species – ​​Wood serves as the foundation of any cabinet, and the type of wood used in the construction dictates its properties throughout its service life. Not all wood species are created equal, and neither are the cabinets made with them. Typical wood selections include oak, alder, hickory, birch, walnut, pecan, cherry, pine, mahogany, beech, and maple. The type of wood specifies the colour undertone, hardness, strength, durability, grain appearance, weight, texture, markings, applications, and workability of the wood. While several features of the wood are editable to create desired forms or looks, the very base will still shine through. The species of the wood is indispensable in setting the tone of any room adorned with a cabinet made from it, from a choice of old and grand to light and trendy.
• Paint – The paint is the most visual aspect of any cabinet and serves to either complement or contrast. Colour choice is one of the most important, and can also be the hardest choice to make. The colour accentuates the cabinets, specifies their distinction, and in instances, sets the atmosphere of the room. There are several hues to choose from, each further divided into shades and tints, an almost endless match of visual stimulation. Semi-custom cabinets are built with specified colours in varying shades to create differing aesthetics. From muted black to creamy colours, polished white shades, and dusky greys, to more exotic selections.
• Size – The size of the cabinet affects the space it takes up in any room design, and how impressive it is. The possible variations in the size of semi-custom cabinets increase the potential of the application. A larger than average unit, a smaller one, or a unit with spatially varied components to either create a varied look or improve on functionality.
• Finishing – The wood finish improves on several of the base characteristics of the construction wood. It determines the visual appeal and function of the wood. The customisation options in terms of the wood finish decide the overall appeal of the finished product. With either a glossy look, a muted surface, or a textured feel, there are several options for getting the desired appearance – varnish, shellac, polyurethane, lacquer, wax, tung oil, or French polish. The finishing affords more than the visual appearance of the wood, but also to the protection of the wood from insects, water, and scratches. The finishing serves as the final touch on the cabinet structure and bejewels any semi-custom cabinet design.
