What are “Prefab” Cabinets?

Prefabricated cabinets are pre-made cabinets that are manufactured in a factory and then assembled on-site. These cabinets are typically made of wood, although other materials such as metal and plastic can also be used.

Why invest in Prefab?

Pros:

  1. Affordability: Prefabricated cabinets are often less expensive than custom-made cabinets.

  2. Convenience: Prefabricated cabinets are readily available.

  3. Consistency: Prefabricated cabinets are produced in a controlled environment, ensuring consistency in quality and appearance across all cabinets produced in a specific line or style.

  4. Shorter lead time: In-stock options can be delivered and installed as soon as a week.

Cons:

  1. Limited customization: Prefabricated cabinets are available in a limited range of sizes and styles, which can make it difficult to achieve a truly unique or customized look.

  2. Quality: Some prefabricated cabinets may not be made from high-quality materials or may not be built to last as long as custom-made cabinets.

  3. Fit: Prefabricated cabinets may not fit perfectly into a specific space, requiring fillers or other modifications to make them work.

  4. Resale value: Prefabricated cabinets may not add as much value to a home as custom-made cabinets, as they are considered a more affordable and less exclusive option.
