One of the foundations to a functional kitchen is kitchen storage. If it is inadequate or ineffective, you will be faced with endless frustrations and challenges. To counter these storage challenges, homeowners are starting to look for better storage solutions within the cabinetry. These can include: appliances garages for small appliance, drawer dividers for cutlery & utensils, pull-outs for spices, tray dividers, roll-out trays and caddies for pots & pans; as well as wastebasket cabinets for garbage and recyclables and/or deep drawers. These will make it easier to store foods, drinks and small appliances.

The fully loaded kitchen cabinet solutions, at Express Kitchens, will now offer:

The kitchen cabinet design has seen a change with add-ons and value added accessories that would keep the people closer to technology. A rapid change in tastes combined with advanced technology has given rise to a wide variety of styles. One of the biggest annoyances with kitchen cabinetry is the unnecessary waste of space. The way the basic shelves and drawers are structured leaves a lot of wasted space. Worst of all, available space is often too small or it’s too wide and does not give you a way to properly and efficiently organize the space.

Kitchen Cabinets are an integral part of your project discussion when you are considering a kitchen remodel or a kitchen makeover or a kitchen renovation. Whether you go modern, traditional, or transitional, an important decision is what material will be used to make your cabinets. A deeper understanding and knowledge of kitchen cabinets will help you make a quick and wise decision on your kitchen project.

Boxes are the true heart of cabinet systems. Cabinet boxes are structural, and thus need to be strong. And this is where particle board and plywood come into play. Particle board is often made of scraps of wood that are considered waste. Many big box plywood manufacturers also make particle board from the leftovers. Because of this, particle board is less expensive. By using particle board, one can save between 8% and 12% on the cost of cabinets. It also has the drawback of being susceptible to damage from water and liquids. Particle board also gives off formaldehyde vapors based on the constituents of the adhesives used to bond the wood particles. While this isn’t anything new it is becoming a more prominent issue given the movement to build homes with healthier and eco-friendly products.

On the contrary, Plywood is generally thought to be the better product when building cabinets. Plywood has superior construction longevity because it holds screws and other mechanical fasteners more efficiently. It has superior tensile and shearing properties (meaning it resists pulling forces and side-to-side movement) and a slight advantage in compressive strength (ability to bear weight).

Here are some good reasons to use plywood:

• Looks: Plywood provides that natural look and feel of real solid wood with grain, knots, and mineral streaks.
• Durability: Plywood is a sturdy material made from wood sheets that are compressed and then covered with a veneer. It’s a great material to use in kitchens as well as other areas of the house because it tends to stand up well to wear and tear.
• Construction: Plywood can typically hold nails, screws, other fasteners, and even glued joints.

Plywood is a structurally stable material that is lighter than particleboard which is why cabinet makers prefer to work with it. Typically plywood is the more expensive cabinet box construction, but check the thickness before you decide to go plywood. Good cabinets should use 1/2″, 5/8″ or 3/4″ plywood construction.

See the difference between Plywood and a Particle Board:

Built in Hartford, CT, Express Kitchens deliver better quality plywood cabinets at lower prices than any fancy big box store. We design your dream kitchen for FREE with convenience and flexibility to do it online or in-home or at any of our showrooms.

2018 became a landmark year for Kathleen P. at Ledyard, CT. Her 41 years long awaited dream became a reality when Express Kitchens offered her what no one else could think of: – a sense of contentment after her kitchen installation was complete. Find below Kathleen’s narrative of her happy memories with us.

As shared and narrated to us: –

Thank you for all your help in making my kitchen become a reality!  I have lived in my house for 41 years and until this past May had the original kitchen.  Although I painted the cabinets and decorated the kitchen, the kitchen was in dire need of a remodel.  Problem was, I could not afford to do anything until I was left a small inheritance.  For me it was a major undertaking.  My favorite color is blue and I knew I wanted a checkered white and blue porcelain floor.  The problem was finding it!  Blue was unheard of!  But I finally did locate it and once I got the ball rolling the project went full steam ahead.  I got everything packed up and moved out and friends came and spent two days helping me rip out the old flooring and cabinets, I got the walls and trim painted and the floors were installed.  You had designed my kitchen following pretty much the same foot print with a couple of major differences, I finally got a pantry and instead of two “dead end” corner cabinets where things went never to be seen again, I was given two lazy susans as well as two upper corner wall cabinets, one with glass to display a few items.

The cabinet install was done beautifully by Brian Smith.  His workmanship and attention to detail was very impressive.  Brian spent two days here, one of them working until 9 at night to finish.  He cleaned up after himself and was also very pleasant to have in my home.  The countertop measurement man came and did a thorough job of getting it right and asking me where I would prefer to have the seams.  A week or so later the installers came and made quick work of installing the granite.  They too worked very well and did a wonderful job. 

I am so pleased with my white cabinets, something I always wanted. I never was a fan of colored or stainless appliances and preferred white appliances and white cabinets before white cabinets were the trend.  I went with colors I wanted.  If I have any regrets it is that I chose granite for the countertops because I don’t care for the shine, I should have stuck with my first choice, which was white Formica!  I know, probably the only woman in the world who would pick Formica over granite!  I really like the beauty of the blue pearl granite.  It is difficult for me to get used to a dark counter since I always had a light one.  But once I get a backsplash installed in white to go with the cabinets it will be fine.  Everyone who sees it loves it.  I have only had one glitch with the cabinets in that one door needs to be replaced because it arrived a bit too short.  I believe you have gotten the issue addressed and I will be receiving the correct door soon.

I waited so long for a new kitchen and am extremely pleased with the quality of the cabinets and the install.  I looked several places and your price and quality could not be beat.  I knew in my mind what I wanted and the second I looked in the storefront window and saw the white Shaker cabinets on display I knew that is what I wanted.  I didn’t have to look at anything else.  I love the soft close drawers and I especially like the drawers to hold the pots and pans.  No more dropping everything out of a cabinet to get to the pan I want.  I finally have a place to store all of my Christmas dishes and get them out of boxes in the basement.  Now I will actually use them.  The layout is basically the same as the old kitchen with some much needed upgrades and improvements. This was a major project for me to undertake as I arranged for the other trades to coordinate with your installers.  But I am happy with the end result. 

I have a friend who built a new house with all top end finishes.  He is doing some work for me as far as lighting and re-hanging the basement door and new locks, etc.  He is a woodworker having made the cabinets in his first home.  When he took a close look at the quality of the cabinets, he was very impressed.  I considered that high praise and felt even better about my choice.  Thank you.
