1/2" Overlay

A door overlay style where each cabinet door covers approximately half an inch of the face frame on each side. Half-inch overlay is the most common standard overlay measurement in American cabinetry. It leaves wider gaps of exposed face frame between doors compared to full overlay, giving the kitchen a more traditional appearance. It is an economical choice because it uses smaller doors and simpler hinge placement.
