Custom Kitchen Cabinets | Iowa City | Cedar Rapids | Davenport | North Liberty

Custom cabinets are built by a skilled craftsman and do not come off of an assembly line. Custom kitchen cabinets are made with better materials than stock cabinets. Plywood is used instead of particle board. Dovetail joints are preferred over staples or glue. Drawers are operational with hidden undermount slides instead of having side slide brackets. Corner braces are used as opposed to stapled plastic corners. When selecting custom kitchen cabinets, you want only the highest quality. If nearly 40% of your overall kitchen budget is dedicated to the cabinetry, it makes sense to invest in a cabinet that is built to last.

When trying to incorporate a particular style in custom kitchen cabinets, you should know that there is no exception. Custom cabinets are exactly what they sound like: custom. Even though stock cabinets have many options of style and color, you are still limited to what the manufacturer produces. With custom cabinets you can select the wood, size, style, and finish for exactly the look you are trying to achieve. Another fact to consider is that stock cabinets are made on an assembly line in different batches. There is nothing to guarantee that cabinets from different batches will match, despite having the same finish. This means that you can end up with a slightly mismatched kitchen if the stock cabinets come from different batches of production. With custom cabinets everything is made just for your kitchen and you can ensure a perfect match.

If you have an odd-shaped kitchen or are dealing with an awkward or unconventional space, custom cabinets will be your best option. Unfortunately, with stock kitchen cabinets, the sizes are designed to only fit very standard room sizes. Stock cabinets come in three-inch increments. This means if there is an awkward gap in your kitchen a filler will have to be used. With custom cabinets you will not have this problem because each cabinet is made exactly for you. This also means that custom cabinets are able to fully maximize the space in your kitchen because they are built to fit every last inch of space. You have many sizing options with custom kitchen cabinets. Turn to KBD and we will help measure and ensure you have the correct size.

By selecting custom kitchen cabinets, you can make an environmentally sound decision. If you know where your cabinets are being made, and of what materials, then you have a say in where the wood is sourced from. For some people, using local materials is very important. Or, you can be careful to only use wood that is sourced from environmentally friendly resources opposed to tree farms that may source endangered wood. If you have a specific wood in mind for your custom kitchen cabinets, you should visit KBD today and talk to one of our dedicated professionals about your design ideas.
