How does cabinet construction work?

Each Zonavita cabinet starts with a box, constructed from durable case material that forms the top, bottom, sides, and back. Inside, adjustable or fixed shelves or drawers are installed to fit your storage needs. 

This frameless style of cabinet construction allows the doors to fully cover the front edges of the cabinet box, creating a clean, modern look. The doors and drawer fronts are made from a wide range of thermally fused laminate (TFL) or UV lacquer materials, available in contemporary finishes and textures. 

To complete the design, matching end panels are added to exposed sides, so the cabinet finish carries through across the entire space.

Our Automated Production Line

The automated line processes raw sheet goods from a storage handling system, guiding them through various machines for cutting, edge banding, sorting, and drilling to produce finished cabinet components. This method of cabinet construction sets a new standard for custom cabinetry in North America and creates a reliable finished product.

How is Custom Cabinet Construction Different from RTA Cabinets?

RTA cabinets

RTA cabinets come in fixed sizes and limited options. That means working around standard dimensions, even if they don’t quite suit your space.

Custom cabinet construction

Custom cabinet construction gives you more flexibility. Cabinets are made to your exact specifications—so everything fits the way it should.
