Built in cabinetry is divided in two types:

1. Faceframe–Where a frame, with members of varying widths,  is applied to the face of the box, to which are attached the doors.  The doors/drawer fronts can either lie on top of the faceframe (Overlay)  or they can fit flush within the frame showing a small (or in low quality, large) crack (referred to as “reveal” ) between the frame and the door/drawer front. (Full Inset)  The Faceframe style represents the traditional look because the frame was necessary to receive the old hinges and support the drawer boxes before the advent of relatively new “European” hardware.
2. Frameless–sometimes referred to as European is as “frameless” suggests.  It consists of the box alone with the exposed edges being covered with relatively thin material  but completely covered by the doors and drawer faces with a space/gap/reveal from door to door a consistent 3mm (good craftsmanship, to inconsistent 6mm and more in low quality work).

The above is a very basic primer.  I have labeled many of the photographs below so you can decide the pros and cons of both styles.  Many cabinet companies will promote one over the other largely because they have specialized machinery and processes to do “their style” of cabinetry.  D’Ireys has machinery and capabilities to produce both styles  equally and believes there are benefits to both.
