1. ‣What is Euro-style/frameless cabinetry?
   

2. Frameless cabinetry, also referred to as full access or Euro-style, is an open box configuration that lacks a face frame. This cabinet style offers enormous flexibility in configurations providing a more customized space. With the lack of a face frame, there is less space between doors from cabinet to cabinet, resulting in clean lines with flush doors and hidden hinges.
   
   

3. ‣Are Euro-style cabinets for me?
   

4. If you are looking for cabinets that are a bit roomier and mailed traditional door styles offered in our Clean Classics. Additionally, our cabinets are modular and come in a variety of sizes, allowing great flexibore accessible, Euro-style cabinets is the perfect choice. Frameless cabinets offer clean lines with either contemporary door styles or the richer detility in designing your cabinet layout.
   
   

5. ‣What types of woods do Demetra Cabinetry cabinets come in?
   

6. Currently our cabinets are all maple but we are developing our line of bamboo cabinets, expected this year. If you would like to be updated on the status of our bamboo line, just let us know.
   
   

7. ‣Do you have other colors and styles?
   

8. Currently our line consists of four door options, 2 contemporary and 2 clean classics options, as shown on our Cabinets page. We are continually developing our product offerings however. If you would like to be updated on developments in our product line, just let us know.
   
   

9. ‣How does Demetra Cabinetry compare to other cabinet options like “off the shelf” or custom?
   

10. The materials and construction techniques used in Demetra Cabinetry cabinets are superior to those used in “off the shelf” or RTA (ready-to-assemble) cabinets. At Demetra Cabinetry, we use 3/4" formaldehyde-free (CARB-certified) furniture grade plywood and real wood veneer facing. Lesser cabinets are made with particleboard or 1/2" plywood. To cut cost and prices, many companies use camlock fasteners to save money in the short run. Over time, these short cuts tend to loosen and fall apart. Our products come fully-assembled and are built-to-order; all you have to do is arrange for the installation of the cabinets and selected door hardware.
    
    

11. When your budget isn’t quite ready for custom cabinets, Demetra Cabinetry offers the next best solution. Our cabinet bodies are finely crafted and built to custom shop standards. The biggest difference is that our cabinet bodies come in pre-defined sizes versus custom sizes. Additionally, our doors and drawers are standard - which helps reduce the cost as doors can typically be the most expensive part of your custom purchase.
    
    

12. ‣Do I have to assemble my Demetra cabinets?
    

13. No! When you purchase Demetra Cabinetry, you are buying high quality, built-to-order cabinets ready for installation.

1. ‣What is pre-fab granite?
   

2. Pre-fab granite counters are the same natural, quarry-mined granite as raw granite. The only difference is that the counters are provided in pre-cut, pre-edged pieces, saving you the cost of fabrication.
   
   

3. ‣How come some pre-fab granite counters are more expensive?
   

4. The biggest considerations in the price of the pre-fab granite options are:
   
   

5.     The location of the quarry: Transportation costs from the quarry to the factory contributes to the price of the pre-fab piece.
   
   

6.     The uniqueness of the stone: This refers to the colors, shades, and patterns of the stone that are unique to each quarry. Demand for a
       particular stone can command a higher price. Additionally, the more widely available stones are, the greater the supply and the lower
       the price.
   
   

7. ‣Will my granite look exactly like the sample slabs in the showroom?
   

8. Variations in color, crystalline composition, veining, fossil deposits, and mineral activity are features of natural stone. Due to these natural characteristics of stone, there will be variations and deviations from one slab to another. One of the most important things to remember when considering a stone countertop is that Mother Nature does not produce dye lots. If you are interested in uniformity instead of natural, organic design and patterns, you might be happier with a man-made product.
   
   

9. ‣How do I maintain my granite countertop?
   

10. Generally speaking, mild soap and water is the best way to clean granite countertops. Please see our Granite Care Guide for information on maintaining the natural beauty of your granite countertops.

About Us

1. ‣What happened to Bay Home Concepts?
   

2. Demetra Cabinetry, Inc. was born from a fusion of two aspects of our business: a kitchen and bath retail store (Bay Home Concepts) and a modular cabinet manufacturer (Demetra Cabinetry). Both were owned and operated under Bay Home Concepts LLC. As our cabinet business grew and people were searching for more information on Demetra Cabinetry, the Bay Home Concepts name created some confusion. So we decided to change our name to better serve our customers and to build on our core strength: quality, stylish cabinets.
