Framed Units

Framed units can offer a traditional or contemporary style for your handmade kitchen.  The doors sit inset into the frame with visible hinges.  Normally the frame will be 40mm wide at the top, bottom and each side.  Drawers and appliances will normally be separated by a 40mm separator although this is optional.

A number of options are shown below.  We can make most units at any width at no extra cost.  If you do not see a unit that you are looking for then we would be delighted to quote you for it.

 

Base units

Base units have a solid backing to them.  Where a significant amount of access to services is needed then the sink unit type may be more appropriate although the solid backing can be cut out for access to services.

Sink units

Sink units are the same as normal base units but the drawers are non-working false drawer fronts and we normally allow a 100mm service gap at the back.

If you would prefer a blanking plate on the inside of the cabinet to hide the sink then we can do that too!
