Construction
Stile
A vertical member of a cabinet face frame or door frame. In a face frame, stiles run the full height of the cabinet and are joined by horizontal rails. In a five-piece door, the two stiles form the left and right edges. Stile width influences both the strength of the frame and the visible frame area between doors, affecting the kitchen's overall look.
