Distinguish among popular applications of cabinets in residential and commercial installation.

Distinction should include various applications in residential cabinetry (e.g., mudroom, home office, garage, kitchen, bath) and commercial cabinetry (e.g., warehouse, medical office, retail space, restaurant) and the relative importance of factors such as strength, appearance, cleanliness, and/or cost for each.

Process/Skill Questions:

• Why might you use plastic laminate cabinets in a commercial application?
• Why might you use wooden cabinets more often in residential applications than commercial ones?
