When you\u2019re shopping for new RTA cabinets as part of a kitchen remodel, what kind of drawer glides your kitchen cabinets will have may be the last thing on your mind. Truth be told, though, something as simple as kitchen cabinet drawer hardware can make or break the feel of a kitchen, and how happy you\u2019ll be with it.<\/p>\n
Arguably the single most important question regarding drawer glides, is whether or not they\u2019re soft-close. Chances are, you grew up without soft-close drawer glides and never thought much of it. If you\u2019ve come across them since, then you know exactly what we\u2019re talking about, but if you haven\u2019t, then trust us, you have no<\/em> idea what you\u2019re missing. That loud bang of the drawer front, the clang of silverware or utensils clattering around, silverware trays sliding toward the back of the drawer every time \u2026 it\u2019s one of those little problems you might not know you need solved until it\u2019s solved.<\/p>\n Soft-close drawer glides<\/a> gently catch the drawer as it\u2019s about to close, then ease it into place quietly and smoothly. No more bang, clang, or clatter, less wear and tear on your cabinets, no more worrying you\u2019ll wake up the whole house next time you need a late night snack!<\/p>\n The other contender for \u201cmost critical drawer hardware upgrade\u201d has got to be full-extension drawer glides. Most drawers open \u201cmost of the way,\u201d and for the most part, this is good enough. Addressing another problem you don\u2019t know you have until it\u2019s solved, full-extension drawer glides let the drawer come all the way out from under the countertop. They make the back of the drawer stop being a mystery zone. Every inch of drawer space is fully available, and fully on display, so you can find the right utensil first time, every time, without having to hunt and dig and lose valuable time while your saut\u00e9 burns.<\/p>\n The rest of the options, like European-style, side-mounted, or under-mounted have more to do with the style of cabinet than personal preference, but if you do have other questions about drawer hardware or anything else to do with what cabinets and accessories to pick to make your new kitchen live up to your dreams, why not schedule a free consultation with one of our professionally trained kitchen design consultants?
