In-Frame Kitchen

A kitchen design where doors and drawers are set within (inset into) the face frame of the cabinet rather than overlaying it. In-frame construction is the hallmark of British-style and high-end traditional kitchens, requiring precise craftsmanship to achieve consistent, narrow gaps around each door. In-frame kitchens have a refined, furniture-grade appearance with exposed face frames and typically cost more than overlay kitchens due to the tighter tolerances required.
