Kitchen Cabinet Construction

dream-kitchens-Nina-Hackel — Nina Hackel Dream Kitchens

Kitchen cabinet construction is all about the thickness of the walls and construction of the cabinet’s box. Cabinets should have 5/8” or thicker cabinet walls and have a 6” piece of wood in the top front and top back of the cabinet. Think of a cardboard box. It is very easy to twist that box one way or the other with a very little pressure. This is completely unacceptable in cabinet construction for obvious reasons. Cabinets need to be strong and stable. Granite which weighs in the neighborhood of 2,000 pounds will either crack or put so much pressure on the box of a cabinet that the door and drawers will not function properly. This is called racking.
When you are looking for a cabinet, put your hand inside the top drawer on the top. If you can feel a strip of wood that is 6” than you can be pretty sure that it is quality construction. However, if you feel air, this is a poorly constructed box and will not handle granite for any length of time.

Tips for Kitchen Remodel

Tips for Kitchen Remodel
Tip 1. Kitchens are all about function.
Maximizing your storage is essential to having a great kitchen. I have seen many kitchens that have no place to put frying pans, no real pantry and no counter space on either side of the cooktop. These are not functioning kitchens. I contend that all cabinets less than 12 inches wide are useless. If you are going to spend the money to remodel your kitchen, let a designer help maximize the storage space. No more trips to the basement to get than pan or roll of paper towels. At Dream Kitchens we guarantee we will give you at least 30% more storage.
