Understanding Framed Kitchen Cabinets

Framed kitchen cabinets refer to those where a frame is installed at the connection between the cabinet door panel and the cabinet body. In contrast, cabinets without such a frame are called frameless cabinets.

Framed kitchen cabinets differ significantly from frameless ones in terms of cabinet body structure, and there are also differences in the style of cabinet doors. Due to their stronger load-bearing capacity, framed cabinets can be fitted with relatively heavy framed doors—composed of a central panel and a door frame. This type of cabinet door boasts a more distinctive design aesthetic.

Advantages of Framed Kitchen Cabinets

1. More Stable Structure: The face frame can distribute the pressure generated when the cabinet door is opened and closed, which prevents the cabinet from easily deforming even with frequent opening and closing. Additionally, the framed structure enhances the load-bearing capacity of the cabinet body, allowing it to hold a large number of heavy items without issues—making it ideal for people who use the kitchen frequently.

2. Strong Style Adaptability: It naturally fits classic styles such as Shaker style and American country style. The face frame can be crafted into a variety of designs, and the wooden frame of the framed structure can better echo the overall style, offering a more layered design than frameless cabinets.

3. Longer Service Life: Framed cabinets also have a longer service life compared to frameless ones. If oak is chosen as the material for the kitchen cabinets, their service life can be even longer, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance or replacement. Even if the cabinet door is damaged, only the door needs to be replaced individually, without disassembling the entire cabinet body.

Detailed Configuration of Gray Shaker Framed Kitchen Cabinets

 

Hardware Accessories: For all projects involving gray Shaker framed kitchen cabinets, soft-close hinges are used as standard. These hinges are made of stainless steel, which prevents rusting. Additionally, handles can be customized according to personal preferences.

Surface Finishing: We offer a range of surface finishing services, including spray painting, UV coating, thermal foil, and melamine. If you are unsure about which surface finishing to choose, we will provide professional recommendations in the early stages of the project.

Size and Customization: If your kitchen has a special structural layout, it is not recommended to choose cabinets of standard sizes. Instead, custom-made gray Shaker framed kitchen cabinets are preferred, as they can better fit the specific dimensions and layout of your kitchen.

Whether you choose oak kitchen cabinets or cabinets made of other wood materials, we can offer very competitive prices. Additionally, we supply RTA (Ready-to-Assemble) products, which help save installation costs—making them highly suitable for bulk renovation projects such as apartments and homestays.

 

2. Value Retention: Shaker-style framed kitchen cabinets are timeless classics with enduring appeal. Even with long-term use, there is no desire to replace their style, so they retain their value well, eliminating the need to spend extra money on kitchen cabinet renovations.

 

3. Low Maintenance Costs: The gray cabinet bodies have the effect of concealing stains. For daily cleaning, simply wipe them with a damp cloth dipped in neutral detergent.

Customization Process

 

1. Needs Communication

This is the foundational step before project customization, aimed at clarifying the client’s requirements. After clearly understanding the renovation style and cabinet functional needs, a 3D rendering will be created based on the floor plan provided by the client. If the client is satisfied with the rendering, we will then discuss the budget range and provide recommendations on cabinet materials and suitable surface finishing options.

 

2. Project Plan Confirmation

Once the client is satisfied with the provided quotation and rendering, the plan will be confirmed. We will then work out the details, specify the dimensions, material list, and quotation. After all details are verified, a contract will be drafted to confirm the delivery cycle, installation schedule, and after-sales terms.

 

3. Production Order Placement

The production drawings and material list will be submitted to the factory. After the factory confirms the raw material inventory, it will arrange the production schedule. The production cycle is usually 20-40 days (specifically depending on the material and process complexity).

 

4. Quality Inspection

Strict quality control is implemented during the production process to ensure the products meet the standards. Additionally, the factory will conduct pre-assembly to check the stability of the cabinet bodies. The surface color will also be inspected to ensure consistency and avoid color differences. Qualified products will be packaged to prevent transportation damage that may affect the progress of the project.

 

5. Acceptance

The client will inspect the cabinet appearance, dimensions, etc., against the contract, rendering, and dimension list. After confirming that everything is correct, the client will sign the acceptance form.
