Stiles

In this section you enter widths for different types of stiles. You can enter different widths for Left Stiles and Right Stiles in the entry fields provided. The thickness of the stiles is entered under material thickness (face frame) and the length of the stiles is automatically calculated for each cabinet. Note: Stiles will be disabled in Euro.

Explanation of Each Stile Width

• Finished End Stile: Enter the width for all finished end stiles.
• Unfinished End Stile (Cab by Cab): Enter the width for the stiles of unfinished ends that are next to the unfinished end of another cabinet. Enter the width of each individual stile; not the combined width from both cabinets.
• Unfinished End Stile (by Wall): Enter the width for the stiles of unfinished ends that are next to a wall.
• Unfinished End Stile (by Appliance): Enter the width for the stiles of unfinished ends that are next to appliances.
• Extended End Stile (Base): Extended End may be a new term for some. Extended End Cabinets are the same thing as "Blind Corner Cabinets". Enter the width for the stiles of base extended ends that are next to base return ends.
• Extended End Stile (Upper): Enter the width for the stiles of upper extended ends that are next to upper return ends.
• Return End Stile (Base): Return Cabinets are simply the cabinet that is placed in the corner, adjacent to the Extended End. Enter the width for the stiles of base return ends that are next to base extended ends.
• Return End Stile (Upper): Return Cabinets are simply the cabinet that is placed in the corner, adjacent to the Extended End. Enter the width for the stiles of upper return ends that are next to upper extended ends.

Cabinet Solutions distinguishes between mullions, center stiles and mullion stiles. The distinction we make is that Mullions are vertical face frame pieces that attach between two rails. A Center Stile is a vertical face frame piece as well but it extends through the top and bottom rail. A Mullion Stile is a vertical face frame piece that acts like a mullion at the top (that is it attaches to the top rail without splitting it) and a center stile at the bottom (that is it will split through the bottom rail).
