In your kitchen renovation project, cabinet door replacement also takes up a huge portion of your renovation budget. All of this leads to a selection process that takes a lot of time.

Cabinet Construction Types

Let’s have a look at different types of cabinets and the materials needed to build them.

1. Custom Cabinets:

Custom-designed cabinets are hand-crafted from scratch by a carpenter. They are available in different types of styles and sizes because they can be built according to your exact specifications. Your cabinets are designed according to you, which means they are entirely under your control and you have complete freedom to change the layout of your kitchen. For example, if you want base cabinets with scrolling legs and feet that match the furniture or you want to change the overall layout of your kitchen to give your kitchen a fresh look, custom built cabinets doors are the way to go. However, custom cabinets are very expensive and it takes a long time to build. So it is important to planning well in advance while choosing the custom cabinets.

2. Semi-Custom/Semi-Stock Cabinets:

Semi-custom/semi-stock these two words are a bit confusing in the cabinet world. Some people say “semi-custom” while other say “semi-stock” and some people say both. These types of cabinets have a lot of variety than stock cabinets but not as many options as custom cabinets. They are less expensive in comparison to custom built cabinets, but it totally depends on your selection. If you want to have semi-custom cabinets, then you have to wait for some time because the delivery of such cabinets takes almost four to six weeks. But if you go showroom to buy the cabinets then you can take an idea of what you’re getting and it also helps you to visualize how your kitchen cabinets will look after installation.

If you think to go from custom to semi then you don’t need to worry because the materials of the semi cabinets are also durable like custom cabinets. Semi-custom cabinets are constructed of plywood or engineered wood. So from plate racks to pantries and from sliding shelves to corner cupboards, they might be the best fit for your kitchen.

3. Stock Cabinets:

Another type of kitchen cabinets is stock cabinets that are already built to standard dimensions at construction and home stores. If your budget is low and you need your kitchen cabinets early then stock cabinets are the best to opt for. You can easily get the stock cabinets from any cabinetry store because they are already made. Thus, your wait time for cabinets also reduces.
