Stock or Custom Cabinets: Which One Should You Choose?

Table of Contents

The same kitchen can be tiring and boring in the long run. You might need to remodel or change the setup of your kitchen. Cabinets play a vital role in the kitchen. The custom-made cabinets are comparatively better as you have the option to change it according to your needs. 

Options of Kitchen Cabinets

If you are new to remodelling the kitchen, then you would not be familiar with the stock cabinets or semi-custom made or custom-made cabinets. Apart from the expenditure, these varieties of cabinets are widely different from each other. Since the bulk of the investment of kitchen remodelling is made on the cabinets, you need to plan accordingly.

The stock cabinets are made in standard size and shape and are available at retail stores. These are not customizable and are made in large quantities by the manufacturers. The semi-custom and custom-made cabinets are manufactured as per your need and choice. The cost is more as you have the option to customize and upgrades. 

Why Choose Custom-made Cabinet?

Generally, custom-made cabinets are made by craftsmen and are prepared locally as per your needs. Style is the main determining factor of your cabinet. You can seek the advice of an interior decorator to decide the style of the kitchen cabinet as per your space and taste. 

You can opt for sliding doors instead of door panes if you have a space crunch. Moreover, if you plan for remodelling an old cabinet, you have to opt for the custom-made one. You have the liberty to incorporate your planning and taste once you get the cabinet made instead of opting for a readymade one. 

The craftsmen often use local items to make your cabinet, thus cuts down on the expense and use of more eco-friendly and non-toxic items. You can also consult the Kitchen cabinet company Toronto to choose the best cabinet to meet your needs. 

Qualities to Look For

The base material has to be good and durable. Plywood that is made of sheets of solid wood has better longevity. Often particleboard or fibreboards are used in a stock cabinet that is composite wood chips and does not last long. Moreover, these artificially prepared materials can be toxic and hazardous to health.

The hinges should be soft and preferably made of steel to prevent rusting. Inferior hinges can cause stiff or uneven doors. The back construction of the cabinet affects the durability to some extent. It will help if you opt for full-height back panels for better results. The sliders are critical in supporting the smooth movement of the cabinet drawers. In case you put heavyweight in the drawers, the sliders ought to support the weight. The under-mount soft-close drawer glides can be made of stainless steel. 

The Warranty

Now the warranty does not confirm the quality of the cabinet, but when you are investing a fortune, it is better to get that assurance from the manufacturer. The weak cabinet might not stand for more than five years, so it is better to opt for a reputed one. Some manufacturers provide a lifetime warranty and it better to go for such. A cabinet not only enhances the beauty of your kitchen but also is essential to organize your kitchen.
