What is a basic parts of a kitchen unit?
To understand the different styles it is important to have a clear understanding of a simple kitchen construction. This will help understand the differences between styles. In the easiest terms each kitchen unit consists of two parts;
- the cabinet - this is the main part of the kitchen. In simple terms it is a solid cube apart from the facing side. This cabinet forms the rigid part of the kitchen and is the part used to either fix to a wall or contains the feet for floor sitting. It is also the part of the kitchen in which your crockery or food items are stored.
- the door - this part of the kitchen which is for the majority on display. It is the part which gives the cabinet a look of a solid cube. The colour and look of the door determines the final look of the kitchen.
So what is the difference in styles?
The main difference between an inframe kitchen and other style designs is with the kitchen door. On a standard kitchen the door is fixed to the cabinet and fits flat against the cabinet on all sides. For an inframe style a frame is fixed to the outside of the cabinet which forms a lip around the cabinet. The door is then fixed within the frame. The opening and closing of the door is flush within this frame. The frame is constructed of the same material as the door. This final appearance is what you would associate with an everyday door within a house.
So why choose an inframe kitchen?
The main reason for choosing an inframe kitchen is the finished look. An inframe kitchen offers style and sophistication over a traditional kitchen. It is considered by some to be a higher quality kitchen when the style is inframe. Of course this is down to personal taste but when combining two kitchens it is often the inframe which people choose. The framed border gives an appearance of sculptured design which is easier on the eye. Of course this style kitchen is also not as common as a traditional kitchen door which lends itself to exclusivity.
What inframe kitchens are available?
There are many inframe kitchens available. Each kitchen has its own distinct style over the others but the inframe effect is very much the same. Finishes come in a traditional oak or wood effect finish which can be supplied sanded. Alternative to a wood finish is to select a painted finish. There are a wide variety of colours available to suit all tastes. There is no definitive colour in which the inframe looks best and it is very much down to personal taste. An option which looks particularly good is to mix and match two colours throughout the kitchen. For example you could have wall units in one colour and an island in another.
