A Guide to In-frame Doors and Units from SCF Hardware
At SCF Hardware, we take pride in offering only the best quality products for furniture installers and makers. And when it comes to designing a kitchen or bedroom that embodies both elegance and functionality, our in-frame doors are a perfect solution. In this guide, we’ll explore what exactly SCF In-frame doors and units are, the different style options available, and walk you through the installation process.
What Are SCF In-frame Doors and Units?
An in-frame door, also known as an inset door, is a type of cabinetry door that is set flush with the cabinet frame when closed. Unlike overlay doors, which sit on top of the cabinet frame, in-frame doors fit precisely within the frame, creating a smooth, flush appearance.
This style of kitchen or bedroom unit comes with a number of key features:
- Aesthetic Appeal: In-frame doors offer a classic, elegant look that is often associated with traditional and high-end kitchens.
- Durability: Because the doors are set within the cabinet frame, they tend to be more secure and stable.
- Clearances: In-frame doors require precise manufacturing and installation to ensure they fit perfectly within the frame, with consistent gaps and clearances.
- Hinges: In-frame doors typically use either concealed hinges, which are hidden from view when the door is closed, or traditional butt hinges, which are visible and can add to the classic look of cabinetry.
Overall, in-frame doors are often chosen for their timeless style, quality construction, and the high-end feel they can bring to kitchen or bedroom units. They are commonly found in traditional, Shaker, and other classic designs.
In-frame Doors & Units from SCF Hardware
At SCF, our own in-frame doors are crafted with the utmost precision and care to ensure longevity and stability, all while retaining a competitive price point.
Our in-frame kitchen units, bedroom units, and doors are all CNC-machined from a single sheet of 22mm thickness Hidrofugo MDF. This construction method prevents future movement and open joints, providing a reliable and high-performance product even in the most demanding environments.
Hidrofugo MDF is an industry-standard moisture-resistant MDF board that complies with EN 321 and V313 specifications for high-humidity applications. It’s a go-to material for construction professionals who need dependable, moisture-resistant options.
Style Options for In-frame Kitchen Doors
Our in-frame kitchen doors are available in five distinct styles, each offering a choice of Flat Panel or Raised & Fielded Panel designs. To complement these door styles, we also offer three different styles for the frames themselves: Beaded, Square, or Chamfer. This variety ensures that you can find the perfect combination to match your design vision.
Accessories to Complete Your In-frame Kitchen Units
In addition to our in-frame kitchen doors, at SCF Hardware we provide a range of accessory items to complete your kitchen units. These include plinths, cornices, end panels, and mantels. Our comprehensive selection ensures that every detail of your kitchen is cohesive and elegantly finished.
In-frame Door Hinge Options
We understand the importance of both functionality and aesthetics in kitchen design. That’s why we offer the capability to choose between ‘Concealed’ style hinges and traditional butt hinges. Our unique manufacturing process ensures that butt hinge fixings are as strong as those in solid wood construction, giving you peace of mind in the durability and quality of your kitchen units.
