Three Ways to Build Custom Cabinetry

Explore Our Cabinet Construction Styles

The way a cabinet is constructed affects its appearance, interior access and the relationship between its doors, drawers and cabinet box. Each Oak & Vale construction style offers a distinctive look while maintaining the flexibility and personalization of custom cabinetry.

Full-Overlay Cabinets

Full-overlay doors and drawer fronts cover most of the cabinet face frame, leaving narrow, consistent reveals between components. The result is a clean and tailored appearance that works beautifully in traditional, transitional and contemporary spaces. Full-overlay cabinetry combines the structure of a framed cabinet with a streamlined exterior.

A versatile choice for homeowners who want framed construction with a clean, updated appearance.

Inset Cabinets

Inset doors and drawers are carefully fitted inside the cabinet’s face frame, allowing them to sit flush with the surrounding frame. This creates a precise, furniture-inspired appearance with balanced reveals and visible craftsmanship. Inset cabinetry is an ideal choice for refined traditional, transitional and tailored architectural styles.

A furniture-quality look defined by careful fitting, clean alignment and timeless character.

Frameless Cabinets

Frameless cabinetry eliminates the front face frame, allowing doors and drawer fronts to attach directly to the cabinet box. This provides efficient interior access, clean lines and a seamless European-inspired appearance. Frameless construction is especially well suited to modern, contemporary and minimalist designs.

A streamlined option offering modern styling and efficient access to cabinet interiors.

Full overlay delivers a clean framed appearance, inset emphasizes furniture-like precision, and frameless construction provides streamlined styling and efficient interior access. The right choice depends on your preferred look, functionality and overall design direction.

Complete the Look with Your Door Style

After selecting your cabinet construction, choose a door profile that brings the design to life. Explore timeless Shaker doors, refined raised panels, slim profiles and other customizable options from Oak & Vale.
