Cabinet Styles

Three ways to shape your space. Every GCS cabinet box is made from 3/4-inch plywood or melamine; the difference is in the face construction and how the cabinet is supported.

Frameless or Euro

Warm white oak kitchen with full-overlay slab fronts and no exposed face frames.

Clean lines and full-overlay doors give frameless cabinetry a continuous look. Without a face frame across the opening, the cabinet interior is easy to access.

How GCS builds it

GCS builds the boxes from 3/4-inch plywood or melamine. Finished front edges replace a face frame, and door hinges attach directly to the cabinet sides.

Full-overlay doors cover the front edges of the box. No face frame.

Flush Inset Face-Frame

Stained oak kitchen with visible solid-wood face frames and doors and drawers flush within them.

A furniture-like look with doors and drawers fitted inside an exposed frame. The fronts sit flush with the frame, with a fine reveal around each opening.

How GCS builds it

GCS builds the boxes from 3/4-inch plywood or melamine, then adds a solid-wood face frame. The exposed frame is stained, and the doors and drawer fronts are precisely fitted within it.

Floating

Wall-mounted cabinets leave the floor open beneath them for a lighter, more spacious look and easier cleaning. They bring a clean, contemporary feel to kitchens, vanities and living spaces.

How GCS builds it

GCS builds the boxes from 3/4-inch plywood or melamine. Concealed mounting is planned for the cabinet, contents and countertop, with support anchored to wall framing or solid blocking.

Face frame or flush inset? Both can be true.

Face frame describes the cabinet’s construction. Inset describes where the doors and drawer fronts sit. Our Flush Inset Face-Frame option combines the two.

Face frame = construction

A solid-wood frame is attached to the front of the cabinet box. Framed cabinetry can have overlay fronts that cover the frame, or inset fronts that fit inside it.

Flush inset = door position

The door and drawer faces sit within the frame openings, level with the frame’s face. The stained wood frame stays visible around them.

Floating = installation

The wall carries the cabinet instead of the floor. Floating describes the mounting approach; door style and finish are separate design choices.
