What's the difference between standard overlay and full overlay doors?
STANDARD OVERLAY DOOR
Cabinetry designed with standard overlay doors and drawer fronts leaves 1.5-2” of the cabinet frame exposed between the doors, creating a more casual look. Many “builder boxes” are made this way, and are less expensive because there is less material in the doors and drawer fronts.
When choosing your door style, you’ll want to consider the overlay of the door. Overlays affect how much of the cabinet frame shows and can change the appearance of your cabinetry. In either case, the size of the cabinet box is the same. The difference in overlay impacts the size of the doors and drawer fronts.
FULL OVERLAY DOOR
A full overlay door style means that there is very little cabinet frame showing around each door and drawer front, creating a dressier, seamless appearance.
