Most furniture and cabinets use what is called “overlay” construction – doors and drawer headers are in front of the cabinet’s face frame, and are slightly larger than the openings in the frame, so they overlap or “overlay” them. Inset cabinets are fundamentally different. Inset doors and drawer headers are fitted inside the face frame in a precisely-sized opening. As you can imagine, this requires a higher level of precision craftsmanship in the manufacturing process. Because of this, inset has always carried high-end, high-dollar connotations. We’re proud to offer this elegant option at a Showplace value price. Unique inset features: •Inset wall cabinets are 13” deep -- rather than the standard 12” depth -- to allow more interior space. You can specify 14”-deep inset wall cabinets at no extra charge. •All Showplace inset styles are available with your choice of beaded or flush inset styling. Beaded inset door and drawer openings have a beaded perimeter which adds visual distinction, as shown at left. Flush inset does not have the beading, and is a sleeker, cleaner look more in keeping with Mission themes. See the examples below. •Inset doors and headers are manufactured with a gap of approximately 3/32” on all sides. Changes in humidity and temperature can cause this gap to change over time. This is normal and to be expected. •You have several hinge options that are unique to inset. You can choose a concealed hinge with an optional soft-close feature. For a more historical look, you can instead select a visible finial hinge in a range of metal finish choices. •Some interior accessories are not offered in inset due to the limited clearance of the inset opening. Talk to your Showplace designer for full details.
