What is a Flat Front Cabinet?
A flat front is the distinguishing feature of flat-panel cabinets, often referred to as slab cabinets.
Aside from the flat front, compared to Shaker cabinets with a simple trim on the edges, and other styles have more decorative trim, Flat-panel kitchen cabinets have no trim at all.
The cabinets are designed to have an overall smooth appearance without distinct boundaries between panels. This makes them versatile for commercial and residential spaces. It eliminates the need for trimming doors, which can be time-consuming when building large furniture sets or kitchen renovation.
To assess if the Flat Front kitchen cabinet is a good fit for your Ottawa Kitchen Renovation, you may consider the pros and cons below:
