interiorarch Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hello. I am currently setting my "Base Cabinet Defaults" for a new project. Under "Box Construction" what is the difference between Framed vs Frameless if the "Door/Drawer Overlay" is a "Inset." Can someone please explain. Thank You!!

javatom Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Inset doors and drawers usually have a frame. It is referring to the front of the cabinet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Frameless is also called European by alot of people and the Doors/drawers are all Full Overlay (with 1/16 reveal) Framed Cabinets can have Inset or Full/Partial Overlay Doors and Drawers as Java Tom mentioned Frameless and Inset are not usually used together in Kitchen or Bathroom Cabinets unless you are trying to replicate a Furniture Type piece where this is quite often done... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I've taken to only using framed in the DBX, for frameless I just use a 3/4" frame. Some advantages when hacking cabinets, a lot easier when the client changes things, started doing it when I took on a frameless line that uses 5/8 sides (metric something I think?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 5/8 is 16mm but I wouldn't be surprised if it is actually 15mm Mark , here's a handy chart for you.... metric-inch-dec.inch conversion.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
