This article will break down the technical aspects of Showplace frameless cabinet construction, so you can make an informed decision when upgrading your home.

Frameless Cabinet Construction: What Sets It Apart?

Frameless cabinetry, also known as European-style cabinetry, lacks the traditional face frame seen in many cabinets. This design results in a seamless, clean appearance, with doors and drawers fully covering the cabinet box. In addition to creating a contemporary aesthetic, frameless cabinets allow full access to the interior, maximizing usable space.

ShowplaceEVO cabinets exemplify this style, combining high-quality materials and precise craftsmanship. Let’s take a deeper look.

Cabinet Construction Details

ShowplaceEVO frameless cabinets are engineered for strength and durability, making use of advanced construction techniques such as dowel and glue assembly. This method ensures a secure, tight joint between parts, which adds to the long-term durability of the cabinets.

  • End Panels: Constructed from 5/8” engineered wood (plywood option available).
  • Tops and Bottoms: Similarly made from 5/8” engineered wood (plywood option available).
  • Backs: Feature 1/4” printed maple MDF (medium-density fiberboard) for a finished appearance.
  • Standard Drawer Box: Made from dovetailed solid wood and include soft-close and full-extention drawer glides.
  • Shelves are a hefty 3/4″ thick engineered wood (plywood option available) and adjustable.
