Cabinet Styles
Cabinet Styles
At Roth Wood Products, our cabinets adhere to four standard modes of construction, each offering unique benefits and aesthetic appeal. Explore our cabinet styles to find the perfect fit for your home.
Standard Overlay
In the standard overlay design, the fronts of cabinet doors & drawers only partially cover the cabinet box face frame. Part of the face frame remains visible, with crown molding typically sitting on top of the cabinet box, aligned with the top edges of doors and drawers.
Aesthetic
- Showcases a bit of frame detail, ideal for traditional and transitional décor.
- Lower-cost option compared to full overlay designs.
Full Overlay
The full overlay design features doors and drawers that completely conceal the face frame of the cabinet box. The cabinet frame remains completely out of sight when the doors and drawers are closed, creating a sleek and modern flush surface. The door fronts also flush out the crown molding.
Aesthetic
- Creates an illusion of a frameless cabinet design with clean lines and a seamless finish.
- Popular for minimalistic and contemporary themes.
- Slightly higher cost than standard overlay.
Flush Inset
In the flush inset style, the fronts of cabinet doors and drawers are integrated into the face frame of the cabinet box, set flush within the opening of the cabinet frame. The flush frame and stiles and rails are visible.
Aesthetic
- Seamless and smooth surface, ideal for a clean & uncluttered look.
- Highly customizable, suitable for both vintage and contemporary themes.
- Costlier due to the requirement for high-quality materials and craftsmanship
- Common in high-end kitchens, creating a timeless appearance.
Smallbone (Flush Inset with a Bead)
The Smallbone style mimics the flush inset design but adds a bead or decorative molding on the inside edge of the doors and drawers, right in the opening of the face frame.
Aesthetic
- Traditional look with great attention to detail and superior craftsmanship.
- Most expensive style, ideal for homeowners seeking exclusivity and elegance.
Natural Wood Cabinets
A key element in elevating any interior design and décor project is choosing the ideal custom cabinetry for your space. Natural wood cabinets are an exceptional choice in this regard due to their unmatched quality, timeless beauty, and versatility. With the right custom cabinet partner at your side, creating stunning, handcrafted wooden cabinets that reflect your personal style can be a breeze. But what exactly makes natural wood cabinets so special, and how can you ensure that your custom pieces are designed and built to perfection?
About Natural Wood Cabinets
Natural wood cabinets are constructed using high-quality, solid wood, known for its natural strength, durability, and beauty. The wood is typically sourced from hardwoods like poplar, white oak, maple, walnut, alder, mahogany, hickory or cherry, each with its own distinct grain pattern and color variation, adding character and uniqueness to every piece. Once selected, the wood is carefully cut, sanded, and finished to enhance its natural beauty, creating a smooth yet richly textured surface that brings warmth and elegance to any space.
Benefits of Natural Wood Cabinets
Durability & Longevity
Real wood cabinets are much more durable and long-lasting compared to laminate. Solid wood can withstand years of use, making it a great investment for long-term projects.
Aesthetic Appeal
Wood offers a timeless, natural beauty that laminate can't replicate. The unique grain patterns, rich textures, and organic feel of wood provide an elegant, classic look that enhances the overall value of your home.
Customization & Refinishing
Real wood is easy to customize. You can paint or stain the cabinets to match changing styles or tastes. This flexibility is not possible with laminate, which cannot be refinished if damaged.
Increased Home Value
Solid wood cabinets can significantly increase the resale value of a home. Buyers often view real wood as a sign of quality, and it is generally more appealing in the market than laminate.
Eco-Friendly Option
Wood is a more environmentally friendly choice compared to laminate, which is made with synthetic materials. Wood is biodegradable and can be sustainably harvested, making it a greener option.
Repairable
Unlike laminate, which can peel or bubble and is nearly impossible to repair, solid wood can be sanded down and repaired if it gets scratched or damaged.
Why Choose Natural Wood Cabinets?
Natural wood cabinets offer unmatched durability, lasting for decades with proper care and the ability to be refinished or repaired. Their unique natural beauty and customizable design options make them a timeless addition to any space. Choosing real wood adds value to your home, with its premium appeal attracting potential buyers.
Laminate Cabinets
One of the greatest highlights in any interior design and décor project has to do with getting the right custom cabinetry for your spaces. Laminate cabinets are a great choice in this regard due to their numerous quality and style benefits. With the right custom cabinet partner at your side, getting them done perfectly to reflect your tastes can be a breeze. But what exactly are laminate cabinets and how can you make sure you get yours done right?
About Laminate Cabinets
Laminate cabinets are constructed using a strong synthetic material. This material, known as laminate, is made by bonding together layers of paper under extreme heat and pressure. Prior to bonding, the paper is usually impregnated with resin – a process that gives the material a wide range of benefits. To complete the process, manufacturers fuse the bonded layers onto a base material (e.g., plywood, MDF, or particleboard), giving the material a smooth and appealing surface.
Benefits of Laminate Cabinets
Durability
Laminate cabinets are renowned for their durability. The impregnation of paper with resin in the production process seals the paper fibers, making the material resistant to humidity, moisture, and water. This stability minimizes the risk of swelling or warping, maintaining its integrity despite external conditions.
Resistance to Wear and Tear
Laminate is also known for its excellent durability and ability to hold up well against everyday wear and tear. With proper care, it can maintain a great appearance for years to come.
Cost-Effective
While high-quality laminate can be more expensive than some wood options, it does not require painting and therefore offers a slight advantage in overall price. It provides a durable, low-maintenance option for your cabinetry needs.
Variety and Customization
Laminate comes in a variety of colors, textures, and patterns, making it highly customizable to your unique design style. The wide range of laminate finish options allows you to choose the best option available to suit your taste.
Eco-Friendly
Laminate is an eco-friendly choice as it uses fewer natural resources than wood and is recyclable. Its uniformity in color and texture makes it a great choice for a cohesive look across your entire space.
Ideal for High-Moisture Areas
The properties of laminate material make it ideal for use in bathroom and kitchen cabinets, where moisture levels are high.
Why Choose Laminate Cabinets?
Laminate cabinets are perfect for those seeking a combination of durability, style, and cost-effectiveness. They are especially suitable for high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms due to their resistance to humidity and water. Moreover, the customizable nature of laminate allows for endless design possibilities, ensuring that your cabinetry will reflect your personal style perfectly.
