Things to Consider When Installing Custom Kitchen Cabinets
Installing cabinets enhances both function and style. For installation, it's key to review some factors during the planning and execution phase, such as material and size. Here are some other things to review when installing kitchen cabinets:
1. Enhance Kitchen Layout
Before installing kitchen cabinets, it's key to assess the current layout. Pick areas where storage can be installed without affecting the traffic flow. Kitchen cabinets and enhanced features offer flexibility for storage solutions, making sure each space is utilized.
Incorporate features like pull-out shelves or lazy Susans to enhance accessibility. At E&B Granite, our team offers design and installation for solid wood frames. Other features can include soft close doors/drawers and grade plywood boxes with finished exteriors.
2. Aesthetic Materials and Finishes
The choice of materials will impact the durability and appearance of the cabinets. Review high-quality woods or engineered materials that can withstand daily use. Choose finishes, such as glossy or matte, that will complement the kitchen's overall design. Some cabinet brands' designs might include Cabinetry by Waypoint and Kith, which offer a range of styles and finishes.
3. Functional Drawer Features
Soft-close mechanisms help minimize noise. They provide a smooth, controlled closure for doors and drawers. Custom spice racks, pull-out trash, and recycling bins are other functional features to have in a kitchen. Adjustable shelving is an additional item to help improve organization and accessibility. Here are a few other options to review:
- Integrated appliances
- Under-cabinet lighting
- Double faucets
- Layered lighting
4. Choose Design Options
Custom remodels of kitchens can influence the design of cabinets, such as shaker or glass-fronted styles. Other options like two-tone cabinets, open shelving, or various door patterns create a unique space. At E&B Granite, our team can help choose a design for the kitchen space, including the handle hardware options and molding to match.
5. Coordinate Countertops and Cabinets
Choosing the design involves coordinating with the cabinetry and countertops. Our selection includes stone and wood options, allowing clients to match their cabinetry for a seamless look. The stone options we provide are Quartz, Quartzite, Granite, and Marble. Our team at E&B Granite helps streamline the renovation process using the different stones and wood for a balanced appearance.
6. Professional Installation Services
Using a professional will make sure that kitchen cabinets are designed and installed correctly. They can assist with making informed decisions about all aspects of the cabinets, including height, finish, wood type, door design, and more. They'll help plan and manage timelines, including the initial design and the final installation.
At E&B Granite, we are a construction service that offers multiple services. These include tearing out and hauling away existing materials.
7. Plan for Maintenance and Care
A regular cleaning schedule will keep new cabinets functional. This means addressing any issues, such as loose hinges or scratches, promptly extending the lifespan of your cabinetry. A soft, dry microfiber cloth can catch dust and clean surfaces. Cleaning regularly will keep stains from settling. If wood cabinets are installed, a wood polish will help maintain the material's shine.
