JC Cabinets - Specializing in fine custom cabinetry
Frame Cabinets
Frame cabinets are traditional style with spacing between doors that reveals the hardwood face frame. Doors can overlay the frames by 1/2" on all edges exposing more of the face frame. Doors can also overlay the frame more if desired exposing less of the face frame (partial overlay). Box parts are constructed from solid wood, hardwood plywood, MDF or melamine. Exposed ends of the cabinets can be accented with raised or flat panels to match the door style. The face frame on the upper cabinets offers a "built in" light rail to hide under cabinet light fixtures.
Euro Cabinets
Euro style cabinets are modular. They do not have a face frame and their doors have a minimum reveal. Doors are fully overlaid and are mounted with concealed Blum hinges. Box parts can be constructed from hardwood plywood, MDF or melamine. Exposed ends of the cabinets can be accented to match the door style. Ends that flush to walls have a filler to allow for irregularities in wall framing and texture. Light rails to conceal under-cabinet lighting can also be used.
Inset Cabinets
Inset Cabinets have doors in the same plane as the face frame, to reveal the full face frame. Because the doors and drawer fronts fit into holes in the face frame, there is more labor involved into fitting these parts to strict tolerances.
Doors require hinges that are designed specifically for inset cabinets.
