When choosing cabinets, there are two types of construction to consider: framed or frameless. Both provide endless design possibilities and their own unique advantages.

What are Framed Cabinets? Just as the name shows, you will find framed cabinets are simply cabinets with a face frame that covers the front of the cabinet box. It is commonly known as American Style or Traditional cabinetry and is measured in inches. Divine Cabinetry’s framed door style options offer contemporary shaker and transitional raised panel doors as well.  

Framed cabinets have been around for centuries, there are many good reasons why they are still being built. The frame strengthens the cabinet box and prevents it from getting out of square. If the cabinet does not maintain its 90-degree angles, the door will stick and other problems will ensue. Also, the frame is a flat, strong place to hang the cabinet doors from.

The doors of a framed cabinet attach to the face frame itself, allowing more stability for the box creating a strong sturdy cabinet. The main advantage to this construction is that it gives the cabinets more strength and sturdiness since the doors are secured to the frame. What are Frameless Cabinets? Frameless cabinets do not have a face frame and are also known as full access cabinets.

A frameless box offers more ease of access and 4% more storage space by removing the face frame, compared to the framed one. Due to this, the box is typically thicker to add more stability to the construction. A frameless cabinet also has a sleeker look to it with seamless lines, and the doors attached directly to the box.
