Understanding the Different Types of Cabinet Doors

Recognizing cabinet door types may assist you

in making an informed selection

for your kitchen, bathroom, or other cabinetry project. We've broken down the most important

words to understand when it comes to cabinet doors so you can

make an informed decision about which door best suits

your interior design style.

Slab Doors

Slab doors are common in modern and mid-century modern houses. A slab door lacks the stiles

and rails of a five-piece detail door and it is a flat plain region

made of plywood

or solid wood.Batons, which are solid wood bars linked to the back side of the door,

will be necessary if the door is made of solid wood. These provide additional stability and prevent

the timber from bending or warping. If the door is composed of plywood,

batons are not required for additional support.

Adding Detail

Edge Detail -

Adding an edge feature to a door, especially slab doors,

is one method to add

aesthetic appeal. The door will have a routed edge rather than a normal and simple square edge. Finger pull and cove are two typical edge details.

Bead Moulding -

Another feature that may be added to your doors is a bead or

applied moulding. This moulding would provide visual appeal to your door design

in two circumstances. To start, bead moulding can be placed to the inner edge of the door

opening on a flush inset cabinet to offer a distinctive

edge to an otherwise plain region.

To give aesthetic interest to recessed panel doors, a moulding can be

added to the inside ledge.

Glass -

Finally, replacing the central wood panel with glass panels

is one of the most common ways

to improve the look of a cabinet door. For this application, French doors are a common choice. When exhibiting glassware or collectibles in your cabinets, however,

there are a number of glass designs

that are both attractive and useful. We recommend adding glass - front cabinets if you want

to add illumination to your cabinets with glass panels. So rather than merely lighting the

top shelf, these glass panel cabinet doors allow light to travel through each level

and illuminate every item in the display.

FIVE-PIECE DETAIL -

This door is built from five pieces of wood that are joined together

using either cope-and-stick or mitered construction methods. A recessed or raised panel in the

middle of a five-piece detail door might be enclosed by a frame. Five-piece detail doors are

available in a wide range of designs to fit nearly any home due

to the variety of construction

methods and possibilities.

Recessed Panel Vs Raised Panel -

Recessed panel doors are exactly what they sound like. The centre panel is flat and somewhat recessed from the sides' stairwells and railings. There is generally some type of curve or

feature between the recessed panel and the border, unless the door is shaker style. Elevated panel doors are distinguished

by the fact that the central panel is

raised to the same height as the steps and rails on the outside borders

using an s-curve or angled form.

Conclusion -

If you can't find a door design for your kitchen cabinets that you like in stores,

custom built cabinet doors are the solution. To build your own unique

kitchen cabinet design, consult a local designer or craftsperson.
