1" Overlay

A door overlay style where each cabinet door covers approximately one inch of the face frame on each side. Also called standard overlay, this approach leaves a visible strip of the face frame between adjacent doors and drawers. It is the traditional overlay for face-frame cabinets and is less expensive to produce than full overlay because doors are smaller and alignment tolerances are more forgiving.
