Front finishes explained
Fronts are what you see every day. We make three ranges, each with its own character. Here is how they differ and where each one shines.

01
Plain: flat and quiet
The Plain front is a flat door with clean edges, ready for any handle. It comes in eight colours, from Chalk and Fog through Oat, Clay, Sage and Moss to Graphite. Seven are matte; Ink, a deep blue, is our only gloss finish. Plain fronts suit modern rooms and small kitchens, where a calm surface keeps things from feeling busy.

02
Frame: the classic shaker
The Frame front has a raised frame around a recessed panel, the shaker profile you know from country and town houses alike. It comes in seven matte colours: Linen, Stone, Harbour, Fern, Rust, Plum and Coal. The frame catches light and shadow, so even pale colours show depth. Knobs and bar handles both suit it.

Matte hides fingerprints; gloss makes dark colours look rich.
03
Vitrine: glass with a slim frame
The Vitrine front is a glazed door with a slim frame in five finishes: Pale oak, Walnut and Ebony wood, plus Pewter and Sand. Use it on wall cabinets for the things you want on show. It pairs with bar handles only, because a knob would sit on the glass.
04
Matte or gloss
Matte finishes hide fingerprints and soften reflections. Gloss bounces light around a room and makes dark colours look rich. Both wipe clean with a damp cloth; avoid scouring pads on either.

Handles change everything
The same front reads differently with a different handle. Slim bar handles keep plain fronts modern and quiet; small knobs make a framed front feel like furniture. Brushed steel is the neutral choice, brass warms up dark and deep colours, and matte black draws a crisp line on pale ones. Try a front with all three before you decide: it takes seconds in the configurator.

Mixing ranges
You do not have to choose only one. A run of Plain fronts with a single Vitrine wall cabinet is a classic combination. In the configurator, every front swaps in place, so you can try a few before you settle.
