What are My Options in Custom Cabinet Doors?
By Kelly RichardsonRefacingCabinet.com Columnist
Cabinet doors take center stage in the custom kitchen simply because they're the first thing that catches your eye when you walk into the room. That said, it only stands to reason that custom cabinet doors turn the ordinary kitchen into extraordinary--and that's where you should spend most of your remodeling budget. Here are just a few of your options when designing new doors for your cabinetry.
Custom Cabinet Door Options for the Truly Custom Kitchen
At the intersection of technology and the custom kitchen lies your opportunity to design the cabinet doors of your dreams. DAC-ART reveals a collection of custom cabinet door options for you to consider.
1. Using CAD to Design Your Ideal Cabinet Doors
Some manufacturers offer a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program on-site that allow you to design your custom cabinet door. You'll be able to see the finished product without waiting for specs to be emailed to you. Changes can be made on the fly right there in the store.
2. Metal Kitchen Cabinet Replacement Doors
If you have contemporary tastes, you can design metal custom cabinet doors to suit your needs. Designs range from simple to ornate. Features include all stainless steel construction with laser welded corners sans unsightly refinishing marks.
3. Unique Finishes, from Distressed to No-fingerprint
Custom cabinet doors come in a variety of finishes that serve as the finishing touches on a custom kitchen. Distressed looks give your new cabinets an aging aesthetic. No-fingerprint finishes make maintenance a snap.
Keep in mind that the custom kitchen is going to cost more than stock, but the aesthetic and resale values will more than make up for the initial sticker price.
