Having your entertainment system configured properly might mean the difference between enjoyable entertainment and utter annoyance. When building cabinets for entertainment units, we at Antoniou Cabinets ensure to consider the following:

Easy to Move

We consider building a cabinet with wheels so that moving your entertainment cabinet won’t be a chore. It will protect your floors while also making moving them a snap. We also ensure to install levers to prevent the cabinet from rolling by allowing it to rest on the floor and locking it in place.

Secure Glass

Thanks to its glass doors and shelves, your cabinet looks more attractive and sophisticated overall. On the other hand, Ordinary glass is more likely to break, compromising safety for aesthetics. Instead, we use tempered glass, the same material used for mirror wardrobes. Regular glass is subjected to a thermal and chemical process to make tempered glass, often referred to as toughened glass, which increases its shatter resistance. Compared to regular glass, it is often 4–5 times stronger. By creating internal tension and external compression during the glass tempering process, sufficient strength is added. As a result, instead of shattering into sharp shards as conventional glass would, the secure glass will shatter into tiny grains, protecting your heavier goods from tumbling out of the cabinets and getting damaged.

Accommodative Shelves

Components for entertainment systems are available in a variety of sizes, styles, and shapes. To fit any system, your entertainment cabinet must have adjustable shelves. You should place the shelves to accommodate a wide range of systems. We are using shelves that can be moved in small levels, like three centimetres at a time. Threaded inserts let you change the shelves’ location as needed.

Cable Management

Crisscrossing connections and tangled cables can ruin your entertainment and are frequently unsightly. Therefore, checking that your entertainment cabinet can accommodate cords without causing tangles is crucial. Some of the essential features we can include in your entertainment cabinets are as follows:

• Removable panels at the back make it simpler for you to access the components. It makes it easier for you to connect blindly without tripping over cables.
• Create more channels to give cables passageways so they can flow in a straight line.
• Connect them using Velcro closures or insulation pockets to protect cables and prevent tangling.

IR Compatible Glass

Every time you operate the entertainment system, you must go to your cabinet and open the doors, which is annoying. Many remote controllers provide infrared signals. Therefore, you’ll need a cabinet with IR-friendly glass because your devices should respond to the signal without opening the cabinet doors. We can guarantee that the glass we’ll use is compatible with IR sensors, so you may use your cabinet with ease, whether you use transparent or tinted glass.

Due to cost and the fact that, whichever option you choose, the cabinets won’t likely be replaced again for many years or even decades, choosing between store-bought and custom cabinets for your kitchen renovation is a significant decision. The installation must also be taken into account because it necessitates precise measurement and hanging to guarantee that the cabinets are lined up correctly and mounted firmly.

In this post, we at Antoniou Cabinets will discuss why custom cabinets are better than store-bought cabinets.

Cost

While buying a full set of kitchen cabinets may seem a bit pricey, you might also assume that custom cabinets would be much more expensive when compared to similarly made manufactured cabinets because they would be more expensive to construct. Our customers are often pleasantly surprised by our quotes! We are a family owned company, so we can provide you with a more affordable price because we don’t have the overhead costs of our competitors. According to your specifications, we hand-build custom cabinets. Contrasted with a manufacturing method that repeatedly produces numerous copies of the same cabinet design, custom cabinets take time.

Quality

Compared to custom cabinetry, the quality of manufactured cabinets might differ significantly. Some cheap cabinets from the store might be built of the cheapest materials imaginable, like laminated particle board with cheap hardware. When creating custom cabinets, we pay close attention to every detail and choose sturdy, gorgeous wood for your projects. The hardware, which includes roll-out shelves and drawers as well as drawer slides, is of comparable quality to the wood. Additionally, you can request certain features, like a pantry cabinet with slide-out drawers, which may be hard to find in manufactured cabinets. Since each cabinet is sold separately at stores, there are seams between each, whereas we can assemble numerous cabinets for a more appealing installation.

Perfect Fit

Store-bought cabinets offer a ready-made option that might be sufficient in one part of a kitchen. Still, buying enough cabinets to furnish a whole kitchen may be challenging because they are already created to the manufacturer’s specs rather than your kitchen’s size. By obtaining one of our custom cabinets, you can be confident that the cabinets will fit exactly where you need them to, with no uncomfortable gaps or empty spots. With custom cabinets, we can make any imaginative thoughts you have come to life, but with manufactured cabinets, you have to do what you can get.

Installation

Although you might be able to acquire premade cabinets that match the kitchen’s design, installation is another issue. If you buy the cabinets from a home improvement store, you can either do the labour-intensive installation yourself or pay extra to hire a contractor to do it.

When installing our custom cabinets at Antoniou Cabinets, we will deal with any nuances, such as an uneven ceiling line necessitating a small modification to make the cabinets appear straight.
