Cabinet Exterior

The outside surfaces of a cabinet — the door and drawer fronts, face frame, and any exposed side or end panels. The exterior carries the visible finish and door style that define the look of the kitchen, and exposed ends are often dressed with matching skin or decorative panels. When comparing cabinet lines, exterior specifications describe the material and finish of these visible faces.
