1. Custom Built Kitchen Cabinets

2. Have you been shopping for kitchen cabinetry and been
dissatisfied with the selection of the big box stores and
import cabinet dealers? Well perhaps you should really
take a close look at considering custom built kitchen
cabinets as an option for your kitchen remodel project.
Visit Custom Kitchen Cabinets for more info. Here I
will discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages
of both stock and custom cabinetry.

3. Stock Kitchen Cabinetry
What are stock kitchen cabinetry? Stock kitchen
cabinets are cabinetry that are pre-built to a specific
size and then resold by a cabinetry dealer. Stock
cabinets are typically produced in 2 inch increments. In
some basic kitchen layouts such as an L shaped kitchen
you can lay cabinets out without much problem. But what
do you do when you are fitting cabinets between two
walls? Well in this case the cabinet dealer can supply you
with filler pieces to take up any large gaps that will
eventually occur by using cabinets that are built within 2
inch increments.

4. These cabinet filler pieces can be cut to fit the
remaining gap relatively well. The main disadvantage
with stock kitchen cabinets is the aforementioned
incremental sizing but also the quality. Although as with
anything the lower to mid range priced stock cabinets
are typically made from thinner materials and have
economy hardware such as cabinet door hinges and
drawer slides.

5. Custom Kitchen Cabinets
Custom kitchen cabinets are cabinets that are built just
for your kitchen layout, design taste and needs. Custom
kitchen cabinetry can easily be built to fit between two
walls or to match odd angles, something not possible
with stock kitchen cabinets. There are many advantages
with custom cabinets that can not be had with stock
cabinetry. The advantages that are at the top of the
list are selection. Since a custom cabinet maker will be
producing your new kitchen cabinets you can have them
make just about any style that is imaginable.

6. You can also have them produce cabinets that are in
rare or exotic woods. You can also have a much larger
selection of cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Some
custom cabinet makers do opt to outsource their doors
and drawer fronts, in this case they will usually have a
very large catalog of doors for you to make your
selection. With custom built cabinets you can select the
type of hardware such as cabinet door hinges as well as
drawer slides.

7. Custom Cabinet Cost
Most people want to know how much more custom
cabinetry will cost as compared to stock cabinets. This
is almost impossible to answer with any degree of
accuracy. The real truth of the matter is that custom
cabinets are going to cost more that the lower lines of
comparable stock cabinetry. But we have seen custom
cabinets be very competitive with the mid to higher
range stock cabinets. Despite the higher prices of
custom kitchen cabinets it is almost always worth the
extra cost.

8. The cabinets are built in a much more solid fashion as
well as most custom cabinetmakers will use a ¾ inch
thick cabinet case material, it doesn't get much more
solid than that. All cabinet shops will have varying
prices, so we do recommend you always compare the
same exact kitchen design from shop to shop for the
most accurate estimations.
