The Difference with KraftMaid Kitchen Cabinets

Whether you are remodeling an existing kitchen or deigning one of your dreams, KraftMaid kitchen cabinets must have entered your mind at one point or the other. Many home improvement catalogs and stores vouch for their quality construction and recommend that homeowners trust KraftMaid with their kitchen cabinets if they want great variety, durability as well as reasonable prices.

Many other manufacturers can offer you a plethora of glazes and finishes, upgrades and accents but these all come with a hefty price tag at the same time. With KraftMaid kitchen cabinets, you get all the choices available plus you don’t need to worry about breaking the bank.

Full Extension Opening System

If you already know the kind of wood, the color of stain and the measurements of your kitchen cabinets, KraftMaid makes the next step even more exciting. You can choose from lots of fancy extras which may seem frivolous to some, but really pay off in terms of convenience to others. For instance, the full extension opening system in KraftMaid kitchen cabinets lets you use every inch of space you have paid for. Unlike regular cabinets where you have to really stoop and dig in to reach the furthest corners, KraftMaid kitchen cabinets offer options whereby you can pull out the entire drawer and organize it accordingly.

PermaSet Bumpers

Another great feature offered in KraftMaid kitchen cabinets is the drawer buffer system which automatically lets the drawers close instead of everyone having to slam them shut or little children getting their fingers pinched in them. The PermaSet Bumpers that are available with KraftMaid kitchen cabinets also protect your wood as the cabinet doors close with a little space left between the doors so that the wood is not banged upon time and time again.

Solid Construction

As far as durability is concerned, KraftMaid kitchen cabinets offer I-beam construction which means that instead of using corner blocks, your cabinet (and the stuff you keep on them) is more stable and secure. Their dovetail construction is another way they prove that KraftMaid kitchen cabinets are above the competition as some standard manufacturer’s just staple cabinets together! Yes, their prices might be lower, but you risk having stability problems with your cabinets over the long run.

Any kitchen remodeling expert will suggest that you shouldn’t go for anything less than ¾ inch thickness in the wood for stability. KraftMaid kitchen cabinets however go a step further by making their cabinets around 20 to 50 per cent thicker than industry standards so that you can store more stuff and more safely too.
