Shaker Kitchen Cabinets 

Shaker kitchens are characterized by simple framed doors with clean, understated detailing. They can range from traditional painted kitchens to more contemporary interpretations using woodgrain finishes, modern hardware and mixed materials.

Shaker cabinets can be customized in different colors, materials, profiles, hardware and layouts to suit residential and other interior projects.

Kitchen Cabinet Styles

Modern Kitchen Cabinets

Modern kitchens typically emphasize clean lines, simple forms and practical storage. Flat-panel doors, contemporary finishes, integrated storage and handleless or conventional hardware can all be used to create a modern appearance.

Modern cabinetry can be specified using materials such as melamine, HPL, lacquer, natural wood veneer and other finishes.

Classic Kitchen Cabinets

Classic kitchens generally feature more traditional profiles, framed doors and decorative details. Depending on the design, they can incorporate raised-panel doors, moldings, natural wood and other traditional elements.

Solid wood and natural wood veneer are common options for classic cabinet doors, with different wood species, stains, paints and protective finishes available.

Cabinet Construction, Materials and Finishes

Kitchen cabinetry can be specified through several separate elements: the cabinet carcass, the door or drawer front, the surface finish and the hardware.

Cabinet Carcass: Particle Board, MDF or Plywood

Particle board, MDF and plywood are commonly used engineered wood substrates for kitchen cabinet carcasses. The appropriate choice depends on the construction, project specification, performance requirements and budget.

Particle board is a practical and economical option widely used for kitchen cabinet bodies. With a suitable decorative surface such as melamine or HPL, it can provide a consistent and easy-to-maintain cabinet construction.

MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) is a dense and uniform engineered wood panel. It can be used for cabinet carcasses, doors and other components depending on the construction system. Its smooth and consistent surface is particularly suitable for machining and painted finishes.

Plywood is made from multiple layers of wood veneer bonded together. It is generally a higher-cost option than particle board and can be specified when the project requires or prefers plywood cabinet construction.

All three substrates can be combined with appropriate surface materials and finishes. The selection is based on the project's design, requirements and budget rather than kitchen style alone.

Door and Drawer Front Materials

Cabinet doors and drawer fronts can use a broader range of materials and finishes, allowing the same kitchen style to be produced at different specification levels.

Common options include:

     •    Melamine

     •    HPL

     •    Lacquer

     •    Natural wood veneer

     •    Solid wood

     •   Thermofoil / 3D laminate

     •    Other specified decorative finishes

Surface Finishes

Depending on the selected material and construction, cabinet fronts can be produced in a wide range of appearances, including woodgrain, solid colors, matte, satin, gloss and textured finishes.

Melamine and HPL offer extensive decorative choices, while lacquer provides a smooth painted appearance. Natural veneer and solid wood emphasize the character of the timber, with stains and protective finishes available to achieve different colors and appearances.

Kitchen Layouts and Configurations

Kitchen cabinetry is designed around the available space, circulation, appliance positions and storage requirements.

TAQ can coordinate cabinetry for different layouts, including:

Single-Wall Kitchens Cabinetry

and appliances are arranged along one wall, making efficient use of compact or open-plan spaces.

L-Shaped Kitchens

Cabinetry is arranged along two adjoining walls, creating an efficient working area while keeping the center of the room relatively open.

U-Shaped Kitchens

Cabinetry is arranged along three sides of the available space, creating an efficient working layout with generous storage and countertop area. A U-shaped configuration can be adapted to different room sizes and is particularly useful when the available space needs to be used efficiently.

Kitchen Islands and Peninsulas

Islands and peninsulas can provide additional storage, preparation space, seating and appliance functions. They can use the same materials as the main cabinetry or introduce contrasting finishes.

Full-Height and Integrated Storage

Tall units can accommodate refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, pantry storage and other appliances within a coordinated cabinet layout. 

A standard kitchen includes the necessary cabinet hardware, such as hinges, drawer systems and drawer runners. Depending on the required specification, these can be upgraded or customized with options such as:

     •    Soft-close hinges

     •    Soft-close drawer systems

     •    Metal drawer boxes

     •    Solid wood dovetail drawers

     •    Premium drawer runners and hardware systems

Additional internal storage and functional fittings can be supplied according to the kitchen layout and storage requirements, including:

     •    Pull-out pantry systems

     •    Corner storage solutions

     •    Internal organizers

     •    Waste-sorting systems

     •    Lift-up door mechanisms

     •    Appliance integration

     •    Handleless opening systems

     •    Customized storage solutions

Hardware and Internal Storage

Hardware and internal fittings are integral parts of a kitchen cabinet system and have a direct effect on its functionality, durability and everyday use.

Hardware and internal fittings can therefore be specified at different quality and functionality levels according to the project requirements and budget.

Countertops for Kitchen Cabinets

Countertops form an important part of the overall kitchen specification. TAQ can provide cabinetry with different countertop materials and fabrication requirements.

Common options include:

Sintered Stone

Large-format sintered stone slabs are suitable for kitchen countertops, islands and backsplashes and are available in a wide range of stone-inspired and contemporary designs.

Quartz

Quartz offers a broad range of colors and patterns and is widely used for residential and commercial kitchen countertops.

Natural Stone

Granite, marble and other natural stones provide natural variation and distinctive patterns. The characteristics and maintenance requirements depend on the particular stone selected.

Solid Surface

Solid-surface materials, including Corian® and other brands, provide a range of colors and can be used for countertop and backsplash applications where a continuous appearance is required.

Customization for Project Requirements

Kitchens shown in showrooms, websites and catalogues can provide useful design references, but a finished kitchen rarely fits another space exactly. Every room has its own dimensions, openings, appliance positions, services and architectural constraints. Kitchen cabinetry therefore normally needs to be adapted to the actual project drawings and site dimensions.

TAQ can customize kitchen cabinetry to meet requirements including:

      •    Overall kitchen dimensions

      •    Cabinet widths and heights

      •    Door and drawer configurations

      •    Cabinet carcass material

      •    Door and surface materials

      •    Colors and finishes

      •    Wood species and veneer direction

      •    Edge treatment

      •    Hardware

      •    Internal storage

      •    Appliance integration

      •    Island dimensions

      •    Countertop requirements

      •    Open shelving

      •    Full-height cabinetry

      •    Special site or project requirements

​​​​​​​

For projects with architectural or interior design drawings, these requirements can be reviewed and incorporated into the cabinet specification before production.

From Design to Delivery

TAQ manages the kitchen cabinet supply process from initial requirements through production and shipment.

Kitchen Cabinets as Part of Whole House Customization

Kitchen cabinetry is often only one part of a residential interior package. The same materials, colors and design details may also be required for bedroom closets, bathroom vanities, laundry cabinets and other built-in furniture.

TAQ can coordinate these products as part of a broader whole-house customization package, helping maintain consistency across different areas of the home while simplifying procurement and logistics.
