Frameless construction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frameless construction in cabinetmaking refers to the construction of cabinets using flat panels of engineered wood — usually particle board, plywood or medium-density fiberboard — rather than the traditional frame and panel construction.
It is becoming increasingly popular due to its simplicity of construction, clean lines and low cost.
A common construction method for frameless cabinets originated in Europe after World War II and is known as the 32mm Method or 32mm System[1] This nomenclature is derived from the 32mm spacing between the system holes used for construction and installation of hardware typically used for doors, drawers and shelves. In North America it is also often referred to as "European Cabinetry".
