Cabinet Types

European Style Cabinet

A frameless cabinet construction system where the door attaches directly to the sides of the cabinet box without a face frame, providing full access to the interior. European-style cabinets use thicker box panels (typically ¾ inch), concealed cup hinges, and full-overlay doors for a sleek, contemporary look. This style originated in post-war Europe and has become increasingly popular in American kitchens for its clean lines and maximized storage.
