What are inset cabinets and what does inset mean? Inset cabinets are constructed with doors and headers that fit inside the cabinet frames. This type of look is more elegant and high-end, with tight and consistent spacing. ​

Inset cabinets are constructed with two types of frame profiles: flush and beaded. Flush frames are standard with square edges (no profile), and create a “flush” look to the face of the cabinet. Beaded frames have a single beaded edge on the inside of the cabinet openings that create a more decorative look.
