I make a lot more money making frameless boxes. Most high-end European kitchens are frameless, but all are put together with dowels, clamped and glued. I have built a lot of frameless boxes for commercial and residential jobs and never has one come apart. They just want the cabinets to look good.
Most customers will not understand how the box goes together. My advice is to observe, learn and prosper. If you try to provoke any change you'll probably get fired. I am resistant to this, but am planning to offer the option of frameless construction as a cost-saving alternative.Īs for your employment situation, your boss has apparently had success with this method of work. On the other hand, there are those customers who have a mindset that all wood construction = quality and would not accept particleboard or melamine cabinets. But there is definitely a market for this style and method because it is fast (and saves money for the customer) and with all the investment put into good hinges and a stylish door, some customers don't care about how the box is made. I have a hard time accepting butt joints and screws/no glue, also. You and me are cut from the same traditional scrap. This goes against everything I have learned about wood. They butt the carcasses together and screw them with no glue. I have only worked with face frame cabinets, and just began working at a company that utilizes the 32mm system and frameless cabinets.
