What is the difference between overlay and face frame cabinets?

• <div><p>Overlay refers to the cabinet’s door style, while face frame refers to how the cabinet’s box is constructed. Overlay cabinets can either be full overlay—meaning the doors and drawers completely cover the fronts of the cabinets—or partial overlay, which means a portion of the face frame stays visible when the cabinets are shut. Partial overlay doors can only be used on face frame cabinets. Full overlay doors can be used on either face frame or frameless cabinets.</p></div>

Q: Can you add cabinets on top of existing ones?

• <div><p>If your cabinets don&rsquo;t reach the ceiling, you can extend them higher, adding visual interest, privacy, and storage space to your kitchen. Depending on the height of your ceiling, you may want to extend the structure of the cabinets and install longer doors to make each individual cabinet taller, or you could add additional cabinets above the existing ones. Either option is cheaper and easier than installing entirely new cabinets.</p></div>

Q: How big is a dumbwaiter?

• <div><p>The size of a dumbwaiter typically ranges from 14-by-14-by-20 inches to 36-by-36-by-48 inches, with sizes in between for more customized options. You could opt to have a custom size built, but doing so will be expensive. Dumbwaiters can lift anywhere from 100 to 750 pounds. </p></div>

Q: Can you mix knobs and pulls on kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Yes, you can and likely should mix knobs and pulls on different cabinets in your kitchen. Typically, pulls are helpful on cabinets at high levels and knobs are great for lower cabinets, but it&rsquo;s all up to preference. Just be sure to keep the finish consistent between knobs and pulls for a stylish and cohesive look. </p></div>

Q: How tall should stacked cabinets be?

• <div><p>It depends on your ceiling height. Wall cabinets are typically mounted 54 inches from the floor. So, if you have eight-foot ceilings, you&rsquo;ll need 42-inch-high wall cabinets to fill the gap. And you&rsquo;ll need 54-inch cabinets if you have nine-foot ceilings. But standard-sized cabinets don&rsquo;t come in 54 inches, so you'll need to stack various sizes together. And, if you have ceilings higher than nine feet, it&rsquo;s a good idea to have custom stacked cabinets made to fill your space.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between overlay and face frame cabinets?

• <div><p>Overlay refers to the cabinet&rsquo;s door style, while face frame refers to how the cabinet&rsquo;s box is constructed. Overlay cabinets can either be full overlay&mdash;meaning the doors and drawers completely cover the fronts of the cabinets&mdash;or partial overlay, which means a portion of the face frame stays visible when the cabinets are shut. Partial overlay doors can only be used on face frame cabinets. Full overlay doors can be used on either face frame or frameless cabinets.</p></div>

Eric was very patient when explaining what could make the pond more functional and appealing. He was very careful in moving the Koi,frogs and large turtle. Even with the bad weather we had, he got the job done in a timely manner. He was very professional.
