Kitchen Units Doors The choice of kitchen unit doors is bewildering and varies from matt laminates, matt lacquers, gloss laminates, gloss acrylic, matt laminates, wood laminates, wood veneers and solid wood. Then it becomes even more confusing with foils, melamines and vinyl.Gloss kitchen unit doors are least expensive in laminate and vinyl. Laminate has a taped edge and vinyl wraps around the edges giving a one piece look. Laminate gloss are harder wearing kitchen unit doors than vinyl but vinyl is a better finish. Lacquered gloss kitchen unit doors have an MDF core which is then painted in a complex process to produce a hard gloss finish. The most expensive finish is the acrylic gloss which is the hardest wearing, most even and easiest to keep. Matt lacquer kitchen unit doors are made with an MDF core which is then lacquered in a similar process to gloss lacquered doors. You can have these doors painted in any colour you choose. Laminated kitchen unit doors are an MFC core which has a sheet of laminate applied and then is edged with a choice to suit contemporary tastes. These are ideal kitchen unit doors being very hard wearing and easy to keep. The finishes available  are extensive in woods and colours with edges to match or stainless  steel and ply effect.Foil or melamine doors are a thinner material than laminate and less hardwearing, framed constructed doors are often made from these materials as they can be wrapped around small profiles to give a 3D construction. Vinyl is a material which can wrap around the MDF core and therefore looks like one piece kitchen unit doors. Solid wood kitchen unit doors are still popular in traditional kitchens and are now readily available in painted finishes either in preselected colours or painted in the colour of your choice.

Kitchen units from German brands are usually white inside with an edge colour and visible ends matching the door. German kitchen units are made to order and you can specify exactly how you want these finishes matched. It would be no extra cost to have a light coloured door fixed to a kitchen unit with a darker edge and show end panel. This allows the flexibility to have a 2 tone kitchen if required
Handleless kitchen units are very popular now in the wide choice of finishes available. They are built with a recess in the kitchen unit running above the door which holds a continuous trim that acts as an access point for your fingers. Tall units have a vertical trim that sits behind the doors and can work for 2 adjacent tall kitchen units. 
Curved kitchen units are a recent design improvement which allows designers to create interesting shapes particularly in islands. They finish off base and wall kitchen units runs without a sharp corner. Curved kitchen units can also be used in base and wall unit corners and to create an extended area for allowing more space around a hob or kitchen sink. Matching plinths, corncie and pelmets are supplied as appropriate. These will shortly be available in handleless kitchens.
Kitchen sink units now take into account the effects of potential water damage with a metal top rail and an aluminium base tray. They also allow a larger rear void for plumbing of the sink and appliances. It is now possible to have kitchen sink units with waste bins that slide under the sink and full size drawers to make access to cleaning materials easier. The kitchen sinks unit top drawer is U-shaped internally to allow for the sink and pipes. 
The kitchen units we supply whether UK or German mainly use Blum fitments. These are a very high quality manufatcurer of hinges, drawers and accessories. All our kitchen unit drawers and hinges are soft close as standard. The range of kitchen unit accessories is extensive and all play a part in improving storage, access and ease of use of the kitchen units. Kitchen bins, corner solutions, internal storage fitments, pull out larders all play a part in making kitchen units work for you and you having to work less. During the kitchen design process we can advise on which accessories best suit your use of the kitchen and its design.
