How Custom Cabinets are Made

How Custom Cabinets Can Transform Your Kitchen

If you are looking for a way to upgrade your kitchen and make it more functional, stylish, and personalized, you might want to consider custom cabinets. Custom cabinets are cabinets that are made to order according to your specific needs, preferences, and space. Unlike stock cabinets, which are pre-manufactured and come in standard sizes and colors, custom cabinets can be tailored to fit any kitchen layout, style, and budget. In this blog post, we will explain how custom cabinets are designed, manufactured, and installed, and why they are worth the investment.

The Design Process

The first step in getting custom cabinets is to design them. This involves working with a professional designer or cabinet maker who will help you plan your dream kitchen. You will need to provide some information about your project, such as the estimated size of your kitchen, your vision for your cabinet project, your current kitchen style, the design and color you are interested in, and your inspiration behind the project. You will also need to measure your kitchen and draw out your floor plan, or hire a professional service to do it for you. The designer will then create a 3D rendering of your kitchen with your custom cabinets, using software tools or sketches. You will be able to review the design and make any changes or adjustments until you are satisfied.

Manufacturing the Cabinets

Once you approve the design, the next step is to manufacture your custom cabinets. This can be done either on-site or in a specialized factory, depending on the complexity and quality of the project. The cabinet maker will use high-quality materials, such as hardwood plywood and poplar for paint-grade cabinets, and cut them to the exact dimensions and specifications of your design. They will also use advanced joinery techniques, such as floating tenon joinery, to assemble the cabinet boxes, face frames, doors, drawers, and shelves. They will then apply the finish of your choice, such as paint, stain, or laminate, and add any hardware or accessories you want, such as hinges, handles, knobs, or lighting.

Installation

The final step is to install your custom cabinets in your kitchen. This can be done by the same cabinet maker who manufactured them, or by a separate contractor who specializes in cabinet installation. At Polis Cabinetry we do everything from start to finish so you won't have to worry about middlemen. The installer will carefully transport your custom cabinets to your home and make sure they fit perfectly in your space. They will also level, secure, and adjust them as needed. They will then connect any plumbing or electrical components that are required for your cabinets to function properly. They will also clean up any debris or dust that might have been generated during the installation process.

Are Custom Cabinets Worth It?

The short answer is YES! Custom cabinets might seem like a big expense compared to stock cabinets, but they have many benefits that make them worth it. Here are some of the advantages of custom cabinets:

• They are made to fit your space exactly, so you don’t have to worry about gaps, wasted space, or awkward angles.

• Designed to suit your style and taste, so you can create a unique and personalized look for your kitchen.

• Built to last longer and perform better than stock cabinets, as they use higher-quality materials and craftsmanship.

• They offer more storage options and functionality than stock cabinets, as they can include features such as pull-out drawers, spice racks, lazy susans, wine racks, or appliance garages.

• Can increase the value of your home and make it more attractive to potential buyers.
