What is ½" Overlay?

½" Overlay door styles are the traditional method of cabinet construction. They are called ½" Overlay because the door covers ½" of the cabinet’s face frame.

What is Full Overlay?

Full Overlay door styles give the appearance of frameless cabinetry on a frame construction cabinet. They are called Full Overlay because the door covers the entire cabinet face frame with only a 3/16" face frame reveal on base cabinets and a 7/16" reveal on wall cabinets.
