  • Smith & Smith has a standard range of Kitchen Cabinet sizes (modules) that are used to build our kitchens, as is consistent within the custom kitchen industry. What sets Smith & Smith apart from modular kitchen companies is that our kitchen range is almost endless. There is no limit to the colour, configuration or size options for the kitchens or cabinetry you choose. In addition, non-standard cabinets that are constructed for your kitchen are not merely 'filler' cabinets. They are carefully designed to ensure a professional look & to fit with the sizing of the other cabinets within the kitchen.

    Beware of kitchen companies & flat-pack manufacturers that use inferior thinner cabinet carcass material. These will in time strain, warp & degrade faster than thicker more dense materials appropriate for kitchen construction.

  • Face frame cabinetry and non-face frame (also known as frameless or European style) cabinetry are two common styles used in cabinet construction. Here's a simple explanation of the difference between them:

    1. Face Frame Cabinetry

    - In face frame cabinetry, there's a frame attached to the front of the cabinet box.

    - This frame typically consists of horizontal and vertical pieces of solid wood, forming a frame around the front edges of the cabinet.

    - Doors and drawers are usually attached to this frame, providing support and structure.

    - Face frame cabinetry often has a more traditional look and may have visible lines between the doors and drawers.

    2. Non-Face Frame (Frameless or European Style) Cabinetry

    - In non-face frame cabinetry, there's no front frame attached to the cabinet box.

    - Doors and drawers are directly attached to the sides of the cabinet box.

    - This style offers a sleek, modern appearance with minimal visible lines between doors and drawers.

    - It maximizes interior space utilization since there's no frame taking up space at the front of the cabinet.

    In summary, the primary difference lies in whether there's a visible front frame (face frame cabinetry) or not (non-face frame cabinetry). Each style has its own aesthetic appeal and functional advantages, and the choice between them often depends on personal preference and the desired look for the space.
