Shaker Cabinet Fronts

In terms of these kitchen cabinet fronts, I think that I speak for all who work with cabinets in saying that we would like to see more made in the UK. However, finding the right shaker cabinet fronts is a challenge to say the least and I'm certain that there are numerous firms that have followed the same path as us and just turned up their noses at the idea of creating cabinets from materials in the UK, only to find out that they simply can't produce the finished product that they need or want.

So, if you happen to be a business exists and you have decided to take this option, keep your fingers crossed, because you will need to know what to expect from the process. Having said that, the first step is to look at what kinds of cabinets you wish to manufacture and the second step is to determine what kind of cabinet fronts you wish to use.

Remember, a shaker cabinet front is nothing more than an edge that surrounds the cabinet, often a single face but may be two or three. The front is much more than just a functional aid, it's a design element. The front can either be a solid wall of straight lines that straighten up the space of the room or it can be an attractive spiral design that gives the appearance of a full-length wall.

These are examples of the two main types of cabinet front. One of the options you will be able to choose from will be a blank box, often polished chrome, which you can take apart and use to make the other type of cabinet front, a molding cabinet front. The front could also be a well manufactured slab that is high quality and offers a great functional element, much the same as a miter or pillar molding front.

There are several advantages to using the shaker cabinet front on the front of your cabinets. It will add height and style to the space of your cabinets and is a nice and handy way to fit things around your cabinets, rather than having to stack shelves up against them.

It's important that before you go ahead and begin buying any manufacturers offering shaker cabinet fronts, that you find out exactly what each will cost. You'll need to know that, whether you will require the front to be able to be removed and replaced or not.

In terms of the most expensive option, which most people choose, the most popular option is to have the front is totally removable. This means that you can remove the front of the cabinet and then replace it with another style or color or any other design element that you might want. Some people decide to leave it intact and then combine with the other styles of cabinet doors to make a totally different type of front.

If you're not sure what the latest trends in design are you could possibly be missing out on a lot if you decide to buy a shaker cabinet front that can't be completely removed or altered. With many manufacturers, including Carrara, deciding on the style of the front is simply a case of determining which ones will look best with your existing style of cabinets.

The next big consideration when looking at this type of cabinet front is the type of material that they will be made from. You may have to settle for a material that can be seen clearly when you look at the front of the cabinet.

You could opt for either glass or wood door options, which are usually regarded as one of the strongest and most durable materials for cabinet doors. If you would like to create the illusion of a much larger room, by using the natural look of wood, you could use either wood or vinyl doors.

If you're after something that's modern, with an unusual and contemporary look to your cabinets, the most popular front is one that will offer a very modern look to your cabinets, which is glass. Also, if you're after something more traditional, something in wood, laminate and metal are very popular choices.

The makers of cabinet fronts today are more likely to use CAD software to produce the front for your cabinet and to help you ensure that the front is going to look right. When all is said and done, it's nice to know that if you choose the right maker, your shaker cabinet front could be produced within a few days.
