As you start your cabinet remodeling plans, it becomes clear early on that:

A) Similar looks are available in many price ranges
B) Not all cabinets are created equal (even if they look alike)

All cabinets are constructed of a few basic structural components – the box, which is the main portion or backbone of the cabinet (the part that looks like a box), the drawers, and the shelves. Where they differ are in materials, construction and customization options. Let’s take a look at the most common materials and construction basics you should be familiar with when looking at cabinet structure elements.

Occasionally, throughout the life of your cabinets, you may find some of your more frequently used cabinet doors beginning to look the slightest bit crooked - and they may even feel a tad bit wobbly. To top it all off, some of the hardware may seem loose. Is it time to panic?

We have good news and bad news when people come to us asking how much cabinetry costs. The bad news is…we can’t give you an accurate quote before getting to know a lot more about your project and the materials you prefer. The good news is…cabinetry costs can range based on your budget. Brakur produces cabinetry from basically any budget range (within reason).

Since we know the vague answers to your cost questions are unfulfilling, we’ll at least give you some helpful information that may come in handy as you start your project.

Generally speaking – where does price differ?

When it comes to cabinetry, quality will vary from one manufacturer to another – and even one line to another. They are not all created equally.   That’s why it is important to take time to learn about each product line you consider – to ensure you’re receiving the best quality for your money.

At Brakur, we believe in making quality lasting products, which is why we construct each cabinet door and drawer with precision, quality materials and care.

Your remodeling project is one of the biggest projects you will take on in your home. With that said, it needs to be handled by industry professionals who can make sure that it is completed correctly. As a homeowner, you should look for business professionals who can offer you the guidance and expertise you need. Below, are a few things to look for as you choose your designer:

Every once in a while you’ll walk into a kitchen that’s got a very loud color or “strange” finish on the cabinets. You might think to yourself, “I wonder who advised that decision,” and you can bet that in many cases, it was probably all the homeowners choice. While a bold color can be well-placed, if you plan on getting a return on your investment down the road, it’s best to stick with trends that have stood the test of time.

White Hot Trends

A hot trend in kitchens right now (and regularly) is all white cabinetry. The use of white works across just about every design style out there, and can make a smaller space look larger. The bright feel that it creates, paired with darker cabinetry or an occasional bold color really makes that beautiful finish stand out.

Often thought of as the last step in the design process, adding finishing touches to your kitchen needs to be addressed throughout the entire design process. Because of the incorporation into the final look, speaking with your designer throughout your process will ensure that you get the right finishing touches on your cabinetry. Finishing touches like corbels, moldings and finished panels can make your space feel luxurious, which is exactly why you chose to remodel, right?

Cabinetry is the first thing most people notice when walking into the kitchen. It usually takes up the largest percentage of your remodeling budget and also plays a big role in determining your overall style. Needless to say, choosing the right cabinetry is important.

Glazing is a word that comes up frequently when you start researching cabinets, but it tends to be a mystery to many new cabinet shoppers. What is glaze? What does the glazing process consist of? What options do I have with glazing? These are all common questions that come up, but no worries – we have answers to all of them.
