At Adelphi Kitchens, our cabinet construction stands out due to our meticulous attention to detail. We start with the box style, offering a range of traditional framed and full-access frameless options. As a dealer or designer, the choices you make with clients can impact everything from aesthetics to installation.
By learning more about our box constructions, you can specify the right cabinet for any project. You will also gain insight into the level of detail that goes into each cabinet design, so you feel confident placing these cabinets in your clients’ homes.
Build Your Reputation on a Better Box
As a dealer or designer, your reputation rests on the quality of products you offer your clients, making custom cabinet construction more than a stylistic choice. With Adelphi Kitchens, you gain a manufacturing partner dedicated to meeting tight timelines with consistently premium quality products.
We precisely design and manufacture every detail of our cabinets, including the box. This design serves as the foundation of the rest of the cabinet build. It creates subtle yet impactful visual differences and may also influence the installation process.
Full-Access Frameless Cabinet Construction
Craft a more European-style look in your clients’ homes with our frameless construction. The lack of a face frame provides unobstructed access to the cabinet interior, which is often a selling point for clients who value maximum storage space. Our frameless cabinetry lines are our most popular product by far.
We offer two types of frameless cabinets, differing in their box construction material:
- All-wood frameless: Our Ridgewood frameless line features all-wood construction, utilizing plywood for the boxes.
- Engineered frameless: Our Brier frameless cabinetry lines utilize 3/4-inch California Air Resources Board (CARB) II-compliant engineered wood cores and exterior veneers.
Inside both cabinet types, a birch veneer is installed by default. Drawers are made from 5/8-inch solid maple with 1/4-inch bottoms. We use dowel-and-glue construction to maintain rigidity in these cabinet types. As with framed cabinets, we use high-quality Blum hardware.
Traditional Framed Cabinet Craftsmanship
Our framed cabinets feature a solid wood face frame to which the doors are mounted, providing exceptional stability and a classic appearance. Door mounting options for our traditional cabinet construction include:
- Inset: High-end traditional kitchens often employ this design to achieve a clean and classic aesthetic. We offer flush and beaded inset options for a timeless look or a more decorative and elegant feel.
- Overlay: We can also mount doors on top of the cabinet frame with a full or marginal overlay, depending on your clients’ preferences. A full overlay creates a seamless look with minimal reveals, while a marginal overlay presents a more noticeable reveal, showcasing more of the cabinet structure.
- Standard offset: With this style, we partially inset and partially overlay the door, allowing part of the door to nestle in the frame. This construction creates a visible effect with a distinct shadow line, giving it a traditional look.
The cabinet box is made from 3/4-inch plywood, with interiors lined in natural birch. You can also upgrade the interior lining wood type for greater customization on client projects. We use 3/4-inch thick material for all finished sides and construct framed cabinets using a flush furniture end, which means a tongue-and-groove connection to the face frame and no veneers or cover-up materials.
Drawers are made from 5/8-inch solid maple. We utilize Blum undermount slides that offer full extension and a soft close.
Premium Products With Exceptional Customization
Regardless of the construction style you choose for client projects, we offer a high level of customization. We can adjust height, width, and depth in 1/8-inch increments, allowing you to design for any space without the limits of standard sizes. You can also avoid fillers in many instances and deliver a truly custom wall-to-wall fit for your clients.
