New Cabinet Doors… Biggest Bang for Your Remodel Dollar

Written by Design Build SWLA

When you are planning your kitchen or bathroom remodel, simply changing out the cabinet doors makes the whole room look brand new. This single step offers a cost-effective makeover to create a modern or traditional look without tearing things out and starting over. If you are basically happy with the floorplan, why change a good thing if a simple change offers a refreshing transformation to your kitchen?

The latest trend in cabinet doors among local designers over the past couple of years is the move toward “mitered doors.” Think of mitered doors as a picture frame around the edge of a cabinet door panel.

With state-of-the-art CNC technology and specialized mitered door clamping machinery, the 45-degree joints of the frame are fused stronger than ever taking advantage of a tightfitting mortise and solid tenon constructed with extra surface area for wood glue bonding. Mitered cabinet doors that are crafted this way by qualified professionals are both durable and beautiful while displaying unique design elements for a polished look.

When planning your mitered cabinet doors, here are few considerations:

Abundant design choices - More decorative profile options mean more beautiful cabinets. Frame profiles can be wider and more decorative with simple beads, curves, steps, or raised details. 

Wood species – Painting or staining? Quality hardwoods make a better mitered door. 

Tight Tolerances – Mitered doors made with new technology are within 1/32” – ideal for inset door installations. 

Qualified Craftsmen – Seek help from reputable interior designers, cabinet builders, and proven cabinet door manufacturers for best results.

Custom mitered cabinet doors made just for you will make your home look brand new, and won’t break your remodel budget. Open up those new cabinet doors!
