Material

Solid Wood: This is a popular choice for its natural beauty and durability. Woods like oak, maple, cherry, and birch are commonly used for their strength and aesthetics.

Plywood: Made by layering thin sheets of wood, plywood is known for its strength and stability. It's often used for the cabinet box construction and can be covered with a veneer for a finished look.

Particleboard: Composed of wood particles and resin, particleboard is an affordable option. However, it's less durable than solid wood or plywood and can be prone to damage from moisture.

Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF): MDF is made from wood fibres and resin, creating a dense and smooth material. It's commonly used for painted cabinet doors and offers a uniform finish.

Laminate: Laminate is a synthetic material made by fusing layers of paper or plastic with resin. It's known for its durability, easy maintenance, high gloss and wide range of colours and patterns.

Variety of Styles

J-Pull: They feature a recessed groove or "J" shape along the top or side of the cabinet door, allowing you to easily open and close them without the need for traditional handles or knobs. This creates a integrated handle and streamlined look in your kitchen. J Pull doors are often chosen for contemporary and modern kitchen designs, as they offer a sleek and minimalist aesthetic.

Slab: Also known as a slab door, this style has a flat, smooth surface without any raised or recessed elements. It offers a clean and minimalist look, perfect for contemporary and modern kitchen aesthetics.

Shaker: The Shaker style is known for its simplicity and clean lines. It features a recessed centre panel and can be versatile, fitting well in both traditional and contemporary kitchens.

Customised

Material: Choose from a variety of materials such as wood, laminate, glass, or even metal. Each material has its own distinct look and feel, so you can select the one that aligns with your style and preferences.

Colour and Finish: Paint or stain your cabinets in a colour that complements your kitchen's overall theme. You can go for classic neutrals, bold and vibrant hues, or even opt for a two-tone look. Additionally, consider the finish—whether you prefer a glossy, matte, or textured surface.

Hardware: As we discussed earlier, selecting the right hardware can greatly enhance the appearance of your cabinets. Choose handles, knobs, or pulls that reflect your personal style and complement the overall design of your kitchen.

How to install kitchen cabinets and doors?

Hiring a Professional: Unless you have experience with cabinetry installation, it's generally recommended to hire a professional installer. They have the expertise and tools necessary to ensure a smooth and accurate installation.

Measurements and Planning: Before installation, accurate measurements of your kitchen space should be taken. This will help determine the size and configuration of the cabinets and doors that you'll need. Planning the layout and placement of the cabinets is also crucial for optimal functionality.

Preparing the Space: Prior to installation, clear out the area where the cabinets will be installed. This includes removing any existing cabinets, appliances, and fixtures. Ensure that the walls and floors are clean and level for a solid foundation.

Assembling and Levelling: If your cabinets come unassembled, follow the manufacturer's instructions to assemble them correctly. During installation, use a level to ensure that the cabinets are perfectly level and plumb. This will ensure that the doors open and close smoothly.

Securing the Cabinets: Once the cabinets are in place, they need to be securely fastened to the wall and each other. This is typically done using screws or brackets provided by the manufacturer. Follow the installation instructions carefully to ensure stability and safety.

Installing the Doors and Hardware: After the cabinets are securely installed, attach the doors using the hinges provided. Adjust the doors to ensure they hang straight and open and close properly. Finally, install the hardware such as handles, knobs, or pulls, according to your design preferences.#

What type of hardware should I consider?

We offer a wide range or handles and hinges to suit your kitchen design and aesthetic. If you have cupboard doors with integrated J-pull it is still worth taking a look at the hard ward we have to offer for inspiration.

Handles: Cabinet handles come in a wide range of styles, from sleek and modern to ornate and traditional. They can be made of various materials like metal, wood, or even glass, and they come in different shapes and sizes. Choose handles that complement the overall design of your kitchen.

Knobs: Knobs are another common choice for cabinet hardware. They are usually circular in shape and can be found in various materials, finishes, and designs. Knobs offer a more traditional and timeless look, and they can add a touch of elegance to your cabinets.

Pulls: Cabinet pulls are longer and more elongated than knobs or handles. They provide a convenient grip for opening and closing cabinets. Pulls come in different lengths and styles, allowing you to customise the look of your kitchen. They work well with both modern and traditional designs.

Hinges: While not strictly considered hardware, hinges are an essential component of cabinet doors. They allow the doors to swing open and closed smoothly. Hinges can be concealed or visible, depending on the desired aesthetic. Make sure to choose high-quality hinges that can withstand frequent use.
