CUSTOM CABINETS Modular Cabinets: Custom Cabinets: Optimizes manufacturing efficiency by limiting sizes Made in custom cabinet shops or on site manufactured and maximizing employee productivity. Cabinets are made to the exact size requested in the design plans. Standard box size starts at 6” & increases in 3” increments. Not inventoried but made to specifications; need to be ordered Readily available as the inventory of the cabinet boxes and which requires lead time on the order. doors are stocked in the warehouse. (BIG BOX STORES). Doors and finishes can reflect exactly what the customer is Usually will offer a selection of cabinet doors and finishes to looking for. give a more upgraded look. Higher quality of materials and craftsmanship Quality differences are sometimes visible and include differences in workmanship, wood grain and color matching, sanding, finish Cost will be higher and could be higher than the standard quality, overall appearance and reliability. depending on the intricacies of the details. Cost will vary depending on quality. TYPICAL CABINET DIMENSIONS LUNCH KITCHEN KITCHEN TABLE CABINET COUNTER OFFICE DESK TYPICAL CABINET DIMENSIONS LINE OF CEILING LINE OF CEILING LINE OF CEILING BACKSPLASH BACKSPLASH BACKSPLASH NOTE: Ceiling height and backsplash height does not change upper cabinet sizes to fill the vertical spaces. These are the standard upper cabinet height sizes. FRAMED CONSTRUCTION DETAIL FRAMELESS CONSTRUCTION DETAIL  FRAMELESS CONSTRUCTION DETAIL (OR EURO STYLE) Frameless or Euro styled cabinets look very much like an overlay framed cabinet in elevation. The difference can be found when looking at the side profile or by opening the doors.  FRAMELESS VS.

FRAMED CONSTRUCTION DETAILS Vertical Cabinet Section Example: g Face Frame & Lines Bynd.  This section shows how to represent a framed cabinet versus a frameless cabinet  Wall cabinet has a face frame Frameless (Euro style)  Base cabinet is frameless Cabinet door stop No face frame *We will explore this further when we draw the base cabinet section. * MATERIALS USED FOR CABINETS Hardboard can be nailed or screwed close to the edge, and does not split, chip-out or produce splinters. It is flexible and easy to bend into curved shapes. Because of its strength and smooth surface it is ideal for cabinet backs and drawer bottoms. Wood – Maple, oak, birch, aspen, and pine more expensive construction and not always sustainable. Particleboard G2S – Maple plywood JOINERY USED IN THE BOXES FOR CABINETS STANDARDS FOR UPPER CABINETS Cabinet Front Face Frames: 3/4” x 1 5/8” solid hardwood pressure- fitted, glued, doubled doweled and stapled Cabinet Side panels: 1/2” thick secured with fasteners, and glue Cabinet Tops, Bottom and Floors: ½” thick secured by fitting and glued into the cabinets dado grooves on all sides. Cabinet Back: 1/8” think hardboard substrate. Hanging Rails on upper Cabinet:1/2” thick glued and pinned into the cabinet back, side panels and top/bottom.

STANDARD BASE MODULAR CABINET BASIC TALL CABINET TALL CABINETS: - Usually 24 inches in depth but can also be 12 inches or 15 inches in depth depending on the function. - The height will vary depending on the design. - The width will also vary but will be at a minimum 12 inches but will go to a max of 36 inches in width. - These cabinets are a single box and can be used for many different function. CABINET DOOR PANEL TYPES (ELEVATION & SECTION VIEWS) RASIED PANEL RECESSED PANEL OPEN PANEL SLAB PANEL PANEL WITH GLASS FIVE PANEL DOOR  MATERIALS & TYPES OF CABINETS DOORS (CONSTRUCTION) 1 DRAWER 2 5 3 4 DOOR 1 2 5 3 1 4 ONE PIECE SLAB DOOR ONE PIECE DOOR FIVE PANEL DRAWER & DOOR ONE PIECE ROUTERED (THERMOFOIL OVER (WOOD) DOOR (MELAMINE FINISH ON PARTICLE BOARD) SUBSTRATE) (MDF SLAB)  MATERIALS & TYPES OF CABINETS DOORS (CONSTRUCTION) DRAWER DOOR 1 2 1 1 WOOD – 5 PANEL DOOR MDF – 2 PIECE DOOR THERMOFOIL OVER MELAMINE OVER SUBSTRATE - SLAB SUBSTRATE - SLAB ANATOMY OF A DRAWER Frameless Face Frame  TYPES OF CABINET DRAWERS Cabinet drawers can come in a variety of materials just as cabinet doors can.

The clients will make the decisions on these (with or without the designer) and as IDTs we will incorporate them into the kitchen design and co-ordinate them with the cabinetry. All specification sheets for constraints, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical should be taken into consideration for the design and for the appropriate spacing needed within the cabinet runs.  The sink and its specifications should also be chosen ahead of design (as with appliances these may be chosen with or without the designer). All constraints will be taken into consideration, and reviewed with counter-top manufacture, and cabinet company to ensure fit and design of cabinet to suit sink choice. If it is an under- mounted sink, the actual sink purchased and sent to the counter-top company for installation onto the solid surface counter-top. The number of holes required in the countertop for the faucet and any accessories will also be made to ensure manufacturing of the counter-top is done correctly as per specifications.  All specifications for appliances and plumbing fixtures need to be documented and prepared for design (constraints, function, and installation), and for any schedules or legends that will need to be completed for the construction documentation of the cabinet project. CABINET INSTALLATION STEPS 1. Prepare the space for cabinets: Floors (may go under or up to cabinets) Walls: one coat of paint, electrical pulled through, and mounting items installed and level Ceilings finished 2. Base cabinet boxes (no doors) are installed in place with space for fillers and openings for appliances. The boxes are screwed together and leveled with shims or adjustable legs. CABINET INSTALLATION STEPS 3. Upper cabinets are installed in place (no doors). Space is left for fillers, and openings for appliances. The boxes are screwed together and leveled. Some appliances are installed (hood fans, cook-tops and wall ovens) Fillers, gables and side panels are installed in place CABINET INSTALLATION STEPS 4. Doors are installed and adjusted 5. Countertop template is done after all base cabinets are in place CABINET INSTALLATION STEPS 4. Countertops & sinks are installed, under-counter lighting and backsplashes are installed 5. All other appliances are installed with accompanying trim kits 6. Toe-kick, light valance, and crown moldings are installed 7. Last coat of paint and electrical plates are installed  CABINET FINISHING PIECES FILLERS:  Used to fill the gaps between cabinets  Can be between ½” to 3” wide  Can help transition cabinets from 24” depth to 21” depth  Used with cabinets against a wall to create space for door to open  Used to create an even look between all the cabinets  CABINET FINISHING PIECES EXAMPLES of Fillers - Notice, they are NOT the same depth of the cabinet** Gap behind the filler Filler next to a blind corner cabinet Filler between cabinets Filler between cabinet and wall  CABINET FINISHING PIECES GABLES: Solid panels, no decorative look, finished to match the color of the cabinets, (will be edge banded to match- meaning the edge of the gable will be the same finish as the cabinets) Used as: spacers, end panels, in openings for appliances, and as a leg to help hold up a counter in an opening Usually ½” thick Depth of gables can range from 13” to 48” deep (to match depth of cabinets) Can be installed vertically and/or horizontally *Gables circled in red*  CABINET FINISHING PIECES FINISH PANELS:  For upper/wall, base, and tall cabinets  Used to finish the sides of the box when they are exposed in view.  Decorative to match cabinet door style or kitchen style  Used to conceal gaps between wall and back of the cabinet  CABINET FINISHING PIECES Finish Panel on Upper Wall Finish Panel Decorative Base Finish Panel on Island Base Finish Panel Tall Cabinet  CABINET FINISHING PIECES MOULDINGS Blocking to attach crown molding to Crown Mouldings Molding is an important detail and finishing touch for kitchen cabinetry. Molding improves the overall effect of the kitchen by creating a custom and Light Valance polished look. There are several different kinds of molding options available (such as the two examples shown in these images).  CABINET FINISHING PIECES MOULDINGS Blocking to attach crown molding to Crown Mouldings Molding is an important detail and finishing touch for kitchen cabinetry.
