Differences Between Inset and Overlay Kitchen Cabinets
Inset Vs Overlay Kitchen Cabinets

Home renovation projects have been skyrocketing lately. Work from home jobs have become increasingly popular, meaning that we spend even more time at home. The bathroom and kitchen are the two most common areas of the home that people remodel. The kitchen has so many remodeling project options that it can be overwhelming at times for homeowners to choose what to do. One of the top questions homeowners have when remodeling their kitchen is, “What is the difference between inset and overlay kitchen cabinets”? Well, we are here to provide you with that answer.
Inset Cabinets
Inset kitchen cabinets are cabinets that are flush with the frame and have a streamlined look. There are no sharp edges for anyone to get hurt on. They are more difficult to install, typically better quality than other cabinets, and cost more.
Overlay Cabinets
Overlay kitchen cabinets overlap the frame by about ½ an inch usually. They are the least expensive because the measurements do not have to be as precise, and the quality isn’t as good.
