With a virtually unlimited array of styles, details, colors, finishes, and hardware possibilities, you’re sure to find the perfect cabinets to complement your lifestyle and reflect your personality. Although we offer a representative sampling of design options on our site, there are hundreds, if not thousands, more available for your consideration. But before you entertain the myriad design possibilities, you need to first decide which type of cabinet construction you prefer: Frameless, Framed, or Inset. Imperia is pleased to offer all three construction options.

FRAMELESSFrameless cabinets are sometimes called full-overlay, full-access, or European cabinets. Simply put, a frameless cabinet has no wood frame on the front of the cabinet. Because there is no frame, it’s easier to access cabinet interiors. In fact, you can expect to access up to 10 percent more interior storage space as a result. Also, with frameless cabinets, door hinges are concealed and mounted to the inside of the cabinet wall. |
FRAMEDFramed cabinets are sometimes referred to as face-frame or traditional cabinets. They have a wood frame on the front, called a face frame. The face frame is usually constructed of solid hardwood, the same species as the cabinet doors. This frame contains both vertical members called “stiles” and horizontal members called “rails.” All door hinges and drawer glides attach to the face frame. |
