What to Consider When Choosing Kitchen Cabinets: A Guide to Making the Right Decision

 Kitchen Cabinets Dubai  are built-in furniture installed in most kitchens for storage of food, cooking equipment and often silverware and dishes for table service. They can also house appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers and ovens. Cabinets may be fully framed or frameless in construction.

Kitchen cabinets can be custom or ready-to-assemble

Kitchen cabinets can be custom or ready-to-assemble. Fully-assembled cabinets are completely built at the factory and shipped with doors, drawers and all hardware attached and ready to install. Ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinets are partially built at the factory and shipped with all cabinet boxes, doors and drawers assembled except for hanging rails which are provided for the homeowner or contractor to install. Cabinetry can be made of wood, a solid surface such as granite or a combination of materials including stainless steel and glass. Finishes can range from traditional painted white to more contemporary colors and stains. Special finishes such as textured graining, metallics and faux-waxed veneers are also available.

A wide variety of hardware is available for cabinets

A wide variety of hardware is available for cabinets, from simple hinges and handles to more elaborate push-to-open mechanisms that eliminate the need for pulls. Specialty hardware can also be used for corner and blind cabinets, enabling the contents to be accessed without squatting or bending over.

The best quality is plywood or higher-quality particle board

The quality of a cabinet is typically indicated by its thickness and construction methods. The best quality is plywood or higher-quality particle board, particularly for flat sections that do not need to be shaped, such as shelves and cabinet sides. Thicker boards are less prone to warping due to moisture.

Cabinet boxes can be made with a face-frame or frameless construction, with the former offering more design options such as crown molding for a more finished appearance. Some frames can be constructed from solid-core wood, while others are manufactured from melamine or other material to reduce weight and costs.

The most durable and strongest cabinets feature solid

The most durable and strongest cabinets feature solid, full-height, plywood back panels which allow the cabinet to be attached directly to studs in the wall. Less costly methods employ thin panels and metal hanger rails or incorporate a picture-frame construction that leaves the cabinet back exposed for easy access to wiring and plumbing. A weak back panel can cause the cabinet to sag or fall, so it's important to choose a high-quality method.

Other cabinet construction features include a choice of hinges, which can be either concealed or exposed. Drawer slides, which enable a drawer to be pulled out and then returned in a linear motion to reduce bending over and squatting, are a very useful option for lower Kitchen cabinets Dubai. Cabinet drawers can be affixed to the cabinet carcase or assembled from separate components, such as plywood box sides with butt or rabbet joints and particle board drawer bottoms.

Conclusion

Cabinet backs can be recessed, which hides unsightly mechanical parts and provides a sleek look. Glass-front cabinets are popular for displaying ceramics and glassware, but Parker cautions that they must be cleaned regularly to prevent dirt from collecting in the inset area. Lighting installed inside cabinets can brighten the space while highlighting stored items.
