Cabinet Considerations During Kitchen Remodeling

A kitchen within a home is one of the most used spaces out of an entire home. Many people will be in a kitchen multiple times a day, which is more than can be said about other areas of a home.

This is one of the more common reasons why someone who is renovating their residence may choose to start with the kitchen. But when it comes to a kitchen remodel, Port Richey residents should know that there are many things that can be revamped during the renovation process.

One of these items are the cabinets of a home. The Cabinets in a kitchen are very important because they will hold all of a homeowner’s cooking utensils, pots and pans, and other items necessary to cook effectively. Today we will be looking at some different options of kitchen cabinets that homeowners may want to look into before they make the decision to finalize their new kitchen remodel.

Stock versus Custom Kitchen Cabinets

One of the biggest design differences between kitchen cabinets are stock cabinets and custom cabinets. 

Regardless of which type of cabinet a homeowner ends up with, they are both acceptable options for a kitchen remodel. Port Richey residents should know that because extra work has to be done to custom made kitchen cabinets, they tend to be a little more pricey and take longer to have installed, but for some people it is worth it.

Stock kitchen cabinets tend to be more limited in their design, such as being made to standard sizes or have a smaller amount of styling options to choose from, but that does not mean they are a bad choice. The one perk about stock cabinets that cannot be said about custom cabinets is sometimes a homeowner can pick out their cabinets and have them delivered the same day, making the kitchen remodel quick.

Cabinet Material Options

Once a homeowner has decided which design of kitchen cabinet suits their needs and preferences, another big consideration is to consider what material they would like to have them made from.

There are a few different types of materials that can be turned into kitchen cabinets. The two main categories for cabinet materials are natural wood and engineered wood products that can be tuned into new cabinets for a kitchen remodel. Port Richey residents should be made aware that particle board and plywood are common options that fall under the natural hardwood category.

Fiberboard is a type of material that breaks down natural hardwood into wood fibers then refitted as a solid material to make into kitchen cabinets.
