Benefits of custom cabinets
Optimize your storage space
They can improve a home that lacks current storage space. If a given area has the potential for storage, custom cabinets can utilize the square footage. Ordinary cabinets are less likely to fit into unique spaces or accommodate the quirks of an older home. Adding storage to your home will reduce unsightly clutter, helping you create a calm and organized environment.
Customize your project
When browsing a catalog of in-stock cabinets, your choices are limited by manufacturer offerings and material availability. Custom cabinetmakers do not have the same limitations. Many different materials must be chosen: boxwood, face frame wood, hinges, hardware, and finish. You have control over the selections for your home, and you’re not limited to calling a giant manufacturer’s help line. They will most likely work with you step by step, so design alterations are not lost due to miscommunication.
Choose a long-lasting product
Custom cabinets are not built on an assembly line. Specialty cabinets are made with care and precision. Stock cabinets are made up of particle board, with screws and glue helping to hold the pieces together. Custom cabinets are not based on cheap construction methods, but instead are manufactured with integrated joints that fit seamlessly together, resulting in a seamless finished product.
Add value to your home
Every time you create storage space out of scrap space, you add value to your home. Since your home is your primary investment, financing specialty cabinets is a worthwhile use of your construction or renovation funds. In addition to simply adding storage space, another benefit of custom cabinets is the manufacturer’s ability to add intricate carvings and designs to each cabinet front. Distinctive, unmatched cabinetry lends a high-end feel to a space that might have been lacking in character beforehand. Upscale custom cabinetry can be a major selling point in real estate.
Reduce Carbon Footprint
By working with a local cabinetmaker, you eliminate the need for long-distance shipping and handling costs. Much less power and fuel and fewer supplies will be needed to deliver the cabinets. Also, you can check with your cabinetmaker about cabinetmaking materials that don’t harm the environment. You can opt for dyes and paints that are not harmful to the earth. You can also select wood that is Board Certified by the Forest Service. The Forest Service Board ensures that for every tree felled for construction, another is planted in its place. You can greatly reduce the negative impact your construction project could have on the environment by avoiding large suppliers of stock cabinets, who may focus on speed and profit.
Custom cabinets are just that: custom. You’ll fully realize the benefits of these for your space when you contact a custom builder for plan ideas and pricing options based on your specific needs.
