EURO OR FRAMELESS
EURO OR FRAMELESS
The "Euro" method provides clean lines with a contemporary aesthetic. The cabinet does not have a frame, so the door and drawer faces cover the whole cabinet face. In other words, the doors and drawer faces are the only things you see.
FACE FRAME
FACE FRAME
The "Face Frame" style, as TIW refers to it, provides a traditional look to residential cabinets and built-ins. The cabinets are constructed with a solid wood frame around all openings. As a result, the doors and drawer faces fit within this frame. Think of it as picture frame, with the door itself as the the picture and 1 ½" (typical) of wood framing around it. This gives your cabinetry aesthetic greater depth and texture.
OVERLAY
OVERLAY
Overlay refers to the amount of cabinet face the doors and drawer fronts overlap. The amount of cabinet face frame or box visible when the doors and drawers are closed is called the reveal. Framed cabinets offer three types of overlays: inset, standard, and full.

INSET: The door and drawer faces are slightly smaller than the openings and recessed to align with the face frame. This offers the largest reveal with the most amount of face frame visible.
PARTIAL: The door and drawer faces are slightly larger than the openings, and slightly overlap the face frame. Standard overlays offer less reveal on the face frame and are more forgiving with door and drawer alignments.
FULL: The door and drawer faces are larger than the openings and overlap the face frame, leaving only a small visible reveal.
