Door Styles

## Six Door Styles We Build

Door style sets the per-linear-foot band: Shaker $350-$500/lf, flat-slab $400-$600/lf, paint-grade $500-$750/lf.

![Painted MDF Shaker cabinet door sample](/images/misc/painted-mdf-shaker-cabinet-door-in-warm-white-with.webp)

Classic GTA favourite

### Painted MDF Shaker

A five-piece door with a flat centre panel. Painted in Benjamin Moore Advance or Scuffx and cured in our booth. Suits almost every Toronto house from Leaside semis to new builds.

Walnut, white oak, maple

### Solid wood flat-slab

A plain slab door that lets the grain carry the design. Walnut and rift-sawn white oak are the most requested; finished in Rubio Monocoat, Osmo or conversion varnish.

![Raised panel cabinet door sample](/images/misc/traditional-raised-panel-cabinet-door-in-painted-c.webp)

Traditional, formal

### Raised panel

A centre panel profiled to stand proud of the frame. Suits formal kitchens and older homes with heavy trim.

![Mitred profile cabinet door sample](/images/misc/mitred-profile-cabinet-door-in-sage-green-paint-wi.webp)

Transitional

### Mitred profile

A frame joined at 45 degrees with a profiled inside edge. Sits between Shaker and raised panel, as in our Leaside Victorian kitchen.

![Inset cabinet door sample](/images/misc/painted-inset-cabinet-door-set-into-a-poplar-face-.webp)

Heritage, true-to-period

### Inset

The door sits inside a face frame with an even 1/8 inch reveal. The right call for Rosedale, Davisville and The Annex, and the reason laser templating matters.

![Paint-grade poplar cabinet door sample](/images/misc/paint-grade-poplar-cabinet-doors-in-deep-navy-dryi.webp)

Full custom colour

### Paint-grade poplar

Solid poplar doors built for paint, in any profile and any colour. Sprayed and cured with a 5-year finish warranty.

Species

## Wood Species

-   Rift-sawn white oak
    
    Straight, even grain that stays light under oil.
    
-   Black walnut
    
    Rich, dark grain that warms over time.
    
-   Hard maple
    
    Tight, pale grain for clear finishes and subtle stains.
    
-   Poplar
    
    Stable and smooth, our paint-grade species and face frame material.
    

Finishes

## Finish Systems

-   Benjamin Moore Advance + Scuffx
    
    Hard-curing paints for cabinets. Scuffx is our choice where doors see heavy use; Advance gives a smooth, furniture-like finish.
    
-   Rubio Monocoat + Osmo
    
    Hardwax oils that bond into the wood. Low sheen, natural feel, and simple to spot-repair at home.
    
-   UV-cured conversion varnish
    
    The toughest topcoat we spray. Resists chips, moisture and cleaners. Standard on vanities and high-wear painted doors.
    

Hardware

## Blum Standard, Plus Pulls and Organizers

Lifetime coverage on all Blum hardware we install.

-   Blum Legrabox
    
    Slim metal drawer sides on full-extension, soft-close runners. Standard on every drawer.
    
-   Blum Blumotion
    
    Integrated soft-close hinges on every door. Lifetime mechanical rating.
    
-   Blum Aventos
    
    Lift systems for uppers: HK stay-lift, HF bi-fold and HS up-and-over.
    
-   Richelieu + Top Knobs
    
    Pulls and knobs in unlacquered brass, black, nickel, bronze and leather.
    
-   Rev-A-Shelf
    
    Pull-outs for waste, spices, trays, corners and pantries.
    
-   Hafele
    
    Specialty fittings and LED lighting where Blum does not fit.
    

Box Substrates

## What Your Cabinet Boxes Are Made Of

The part you never see decides how long the kitchen lasts.

Baltic Birch plywood

Our standard box. 18 mm void-free birch ply that holds screws and does not swell. Sink bases are marine-grade.

Moisture-resistant HDF

Sealed-edge HDF for bath vanities, laundry rooms and salon wet zones.

Melamine-faced ply

Budget tier and bulk-unit programs. Plywood core with a cleanable melamine face.
