What is the Difference Between Custom Cabinets and Semi-Custom Cabinets?

Описание: PRODUCTS spoke with an expert at Jennifer Gilmer Kitchen and Bath to find out the features of custom and semi-custom cabinets and get a tour of the showroom.

Designer Sarah Kahn Turner explores the differences that separate custom kitchen cabinets from semi-custom options.

“The differences between [custom and semi-custom cabinetry], in a very simplistic format, is how customizable is each line,” says Turner, a designer with Bethesda, Md.-based Jennifer Gilmer Kitchens and Baths, which offers both types of products.

On the custom end, a company will allow you to do different interior finishes to match the doors, different organizing configurations with earth magnets, and tons more options that make the cabinets more unique to the end user.

Semi-custom cabinetry, on the other hand, is more limited in height of panels, widths of cabinets, door styles, accessories, and finish options. “There are still some really fun things we can do with semi-custom lines,” Turner says. “Although you are more restricted with your door styles and finishes that are available, there are still some aftermarket products that they can install on cabinetry that they are building.” Those items include servo drives, soft-touch open and close, bifold doors, and interior organizing for drawers.
