As interior designs continue to lean toward Transitional and Contemporary design styles, modern design elements like metal cabinet doors are growing in popularity. Instead of selecting a traditional mullion glass cabinet door or a standard wood glass cabinet door, homeowners are opting for Aluminum Framed glass cabinet doors for a sleeker style.

Metal cabinet doors are usually not typically used for an entire kitchen, but as an intriguing accent integrated into a larger design. Dura Supreme’s aluminum framed cabinet doors are an excellent choice for highlighting an area of cabinetry or breaking apart a long string of cabinets to add more character and interest to the space.

Harmonize a Design with Metal Accent Doors
Metal framed cabinet doors provide a beautiful surface to potentially coordinate or contrast with your home’s appliances, backsplashes, hardware, countertops, etc. For example, if your home features black accented architectural elements, like black window frames and doors, accenting your cabinetry with a few black metal cabinet doors can help tie the style of the home together.

A Versatile Design Element for Multiple Design Styles
One of the great things about metal cabinet doors is their versatility in application. They are not just for Ultra-Modern styled spaces, Transitional, Industrial, Contemporary, and Modern Farmhouse designs can also benefit from the use of this type of door style. They can also be successfully paired with stained or painted wood, Laminate, Acrylic, and modern foil cabinets.

Below is an example of a beautiful Transitional design employing metal door frames on either side of the cooktop. The metal and white slab cabinets surrounding them work well together and tie in nicely with the silvers throughout the countertop’s pattern and the silver finish of the cabinet hardware used throughout the design.

Aluminum framed cabinet doors can be used in tall cabinets, in wet bars, and of course in standard wall cabinets with either standard hinging, bi-fold, or stay-lift top hinging. For base cabinets, they can be used with tempered glass, metal mesh inserts, full stainless steel insert/slab, or other shatterproof inserts.
