Wholesale Frameless European Cabinets

Frameless cabinets drop the face frame, so the doors mount straight to the box. You get wider openings, more storage in the same space and a clean, continuous run of doors. We sell five finishes at wholesale pricing, direct from Bolingbrook.

Why frameless

More storage, cleaner lines

01

More usable storage

With no face frame, drawers run nearly the full inside width and there is no center post in a double-door base.

02

A clean, flat look

Doors sit close together, so a long wall of cabinets reads as one clean surface instead of a grid of frames.

03

Handleless-ready

Flat doors work with edge pulls, a continuous channel or push-to-open hardware. Tell us early so we can lay out the run.

04

One thing to plan for

Frameless is less forgiving of walls that are not square. Shim carefully and check the run before you hang doors.

Construction

How our frameless cabinets are built

Frameless is a different build from our shaker line, engineered around the full-access box.

Doors
European frameless design, full overlay. Classic Line doors have a durable melamine surface with matching 1.3mm PVC edge banding.
Deluxe doors
Engineered furniture board. The MDF option has an 18mm core, a 0.45mm PET laminate face and 1.3mm PVC laser edge banding for a seamless edge with no visible glue line.
Cabinet box
3/4 inch (18mm) plywood sides with toe kick, and a 1/4 inch (6mm) back with reinforced top and bottom rails, joined with Confirmat connectors.
Drawers
Metal drawers with 90-degree sides and a 5/8 inch (16mm) plywood bottom and back, on a full-access, 6-way adjustable, soft-close system.
Shelves
3/4 inch (18mm) plywood, fully adjustable.
Hinges
6-way adjustable soft-close hinges, so doors can be lined up on site.
Interior
White melamine, or a textured melamine matched to the cabinet color.
Warranty
Limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship under normal use.

FAQ

Common questions

What does frameless mean?

A frameless cabinet has no face frame across the front of the box. The doors mount directly to the cabinet sides, so the opening is the full width of the inside. It is often called European or full-access construction.

Do frameless cabinets hold more than framed cabinets?

In the same footprint, yes. Removing the face frame widens the opening and lets the drawer box run closer to the full inside width. There is also no center post to reach around in a double-door base cabinet.

Is Natural Oak or Walnut a veneer or solid wood?

Neither. The woodgrain is a durable melamine surface with matching PVC edge banding, over a plywood box. In a working kitchen that is an advantage: it will not fade in sunlight, lift at the edges or need refinishing.

Do gloss cabinets scratch or show fingerprints?

Gloss shows fingerprints more than matte. That is the trade-off for the light it puts back into the room. The laminate surface is hard-wearing and wipes clean with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner. Skip abrasive pads and scouring powders.

Can I get a handleless kitchen with these doors?

Yes. Flat frameless doors are what make edge pulls, a continuous channel or push-to-open hardware possible. Tell us before the order goes in, because the hardware choice affects how the run is laid out.

Can I mix frameless and shaker in the same kitchen?

Yes, and it looks good when it is planned. A walnut frameless island inside a white shaker kitchen is a popular example. Keep it to two finishes and give each one a clear role.

Can I use frameless cabinets for a commercial project?

Yes. We supply commercial cabinetry as well as residential. Send us the scope and we will quote it.

Do you ship outside Illinois?

Yes. We serve Chicagoland with pickup and delivery from our Bolingbrook warehouse, and we ship nationwide. Send your project details and we will include shipping in your quote.
