Colours

We do our best to produce accurate images but there may be some slight variation between how the colour appears on your screen and how it looks on the door. We always recommend ordering free colour swatches or purchasing a sample door so you can see exactly what your colour choice will look like.

Door images

Please note that doors and drawer fronts are sold separately. Our images show doors with their corresponding drawer fronts, but this is for illustrative purposes only.

The minimum height for panels is 100mm, and the minimum width is 100mm. Maximum width is 1200mm. The grain direction of panels will match the doors - except panels below the height of 282mm, which will be supplied with horizontal grain unless stated otherwise. The backs of panels will match the backs of the doors. Unless specified on order panels will automatically be supplied as 18mm.

Drilling for hinges and handles

All doors come undrilled as standard.  However, we offer a hinge hole drilling service at a modest cost.

Please let us know your hinge hole measurements and we will drill them accordingly. Measure from the top or bottom of the door to the centre of the hinge hole. If you need any guidance on measuring for hinges, watch our DIY help videos or give us a call.

You can have your hinge holes drilled from 60mm from the bottom and top edge of the door.

We are unable to drill for handles.

Matching door backs

The term 'matching back' means that the door will have a similar coloured melamine back, rather than a vinyl back and as such the colour and texture may be different from the front of the door. In particular textured and high gloss colour doors will be supplied with a matt smooth finish back.

All doors are supplied with matching finish backs with the following exceptions:

Horizontal grain

Horizontal grain is available in all woodgrain colour options up to 1245mm high.

Standard wood grain colours are available up to 1245mm high.

The same applied to wine rack fronts, modern canopies, plain canopies, T&G canopies. PVC panels and are made as specified.

High gloss colours

High gloss finishes are manufactured using a heavier gauge vinyl and as such definition can be less sharp on items which have more detailed designs.

Please refer to our Care and Maintenance guide for information on how to protect and care for your doors.
