3 Different Types of Cabinetry
There are 3 different types of cabinetry that are most often used. United Wholesale will consider your particular tastes and circumstances and determine which option is best. Budget and other related factors may have a bearing on the following cabinet types.
Stock:
Pre-manufactured cabinets come in specific sizes. They can be a good choice, but they don’t provide as many customization options. This is a great solution if you want a simple cabinet remodeling process that is budget-friendly.
Semi-Custom:
Pre-manufactured cabinets are similar to stock cabinets. Semi-custom cabinets provide a wide selection of customization choices. The benefits are multiple add-ons and accessories, and a number of sizes to choose from. In some cases, certain modifications may be applied.
Custom:
Cabinets that are made-to-order can come in any shape, size, or material that you request. We provide custom manufacturers who use the latest technology. They successfully produce quality cabinets created with the best materials, accessories and construction methods.
Quality Materials and Construction
The quality materials and construction that United Wholesale professionals use differ from project to project. Cabinet materials may include: Solid wood, wood based products, melamine, laminate, and also certain metals. Even your decision to go “green” can be accommodated with a variety of eco-friendly cabinet styles and materials.
