Holding cabinets can have several door configurations available to suit any kitchen’s needs. The first thing to consider is whether or not you want glass or solid doors. Energy efficiency is usually a consideration when deciding between glass and solid, but several glass-door models are available that are just as energy efficient as their solid counterparts. This efficiency is achieved by using double pane tempered glass.
Full, half and three-quarter height cabinets can also have doors on both the front and back so pans can be accessed from either side. For these models, you can even mix-and-match the door type, with solid on back and glass on front, or all glass or all solid. Full-height cabinets have one more configuration option, Dutch doors. Split doors offer a little more energy efficiency because only half of the cabinet is opened at a time.
Cabinet height is another important consideration. The can range from full-height units all the way down to small undercounter units. There are even very large banquet cabinets available that are designed to hold a number of covered plates and other items. As a final consideration, some models allow you to add humidity to the cabinet. This can help keep stored foods from drying out.
