We got our panels and doors all in for the Vandersteen's the other week. Typically on a standard 'European Design' project means that right away it's just about ready to be finished. But on a 'Faceframe Inset' job that means our work has just begun.
The main feature on a faceframe inset job is that the doors are flush or inset into a frame. This means to have it turn out looking sharp and done correctly, the doors need to have the same reveal or space around the doors. With the hinges that were chosen, we needed to have a 1/16" reveal around the doors. So we made spacers and after the doors got in we took all the doors and sized them specifically to the frame that they go to. All the raised end panels like on the island and hood are cut to look like they're also inset into a frame as well.
We're all excited to get this back from the finishers to see the final project. It should definately turn out!!
