American vs. European Style Cabinetry

Here at Sylvester Custom Cabinetry we build European cabinetry. European style cabinetry is built to be adaptable because in Europe, kitchens vary in size. Usually these cabinets are called frameless. We like to refer to them at full-access cabinets because you are gaining access to the full cabinet in this style of cabinetry.

Full-access cabinets allow for more accessible space and they have a much simpler/modern look due to the doors being placed flush with the cabinets.

American style cabinets are also known as Face Frame cabinets. These cabinets have a thick wood frame and the doors are attached with concealed compact hinges.

The boxes themselves are also compiled of a stile and rails at the top and bottom of the cabinet which takes up usable cabinet space.

Who wants to pay for cabinet space they aren’t going to be able to use? NOT ME!

Who wants to have access to their full cabinet and not have to worry about working around a pole in the middle of the cabinet? ME!

At Sylvester we allow for a lot of customization for cabinets. While our box construction is full-access, you get to choose between several options for everything else. From the color of the cabinetry, the style of doors, and even the crown molding.

The last cool piece of information I want to leave you with is that we make all of our cabinet boxes in house. This means that we don’t have any “standard” sizes. So if you need an odd size cabinet, whether it is in the width, height, or depth - We can do that! If you need a cabinet that goes at an angle, we can do that as well! Even if you need both in one cabinet, we can handle it!
