Flat-Front Cabinets

Kitchen Cabinets & Kitchen Renovations

Kitchen styles come in every imaginable form. No matter what you’re looking for, there’s a perfect cabinet waiting that will suit your dream Ottawa kitchen design. If you’re going for a modern style, clean, horizontal lines created by Flat front kitchen cabinets might be an excellent option for modernizing your kitchen.

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:

Advantages of Flat Front Kitchen Cabinet

  • Low maintenance – Flat-panel cabinets are easier to keep clean than other cabinet styles with no detail or crevices to attract dust or cooking grease.
  • Easy to paint – With its diverse colour options, this kitchen cabinet will make your remodelling project more personalized. You can paint it in any shades you like to reflect what’s on-trend for the year, or go with something classic and modern!

Disadvantages of Flat Front Kitchen Cabinet

  • Warping – Like most low-quality materials, Slab cabinets are susceptible to warping. It can be avoided by ensuring that lamination or thermofoil is intact, plywood-core doors, and even raw MDF will not distort. A coat of stain or paint on solid hardwood can also prevent warping.
