Beaded Shaker Kitchen Doors Made to Measure
Beaded Shaker kitchen doors add a fine decorative detail around the recessed centre panel. Choose this profile when you want a more traditional framed front, made to your measurements and supplied unfinished or primed.
Beaded, bevelled or plain Shaker?
All three designs use a framed outline, but the inner edge changes the character. Traditional Shaker has a plain square edge. Bevelled Shaker uses an angled edge. The beaded option adds a smaller decorative profile around the panel.
Look at the profiles at the same dimensions in the builder before choosing. Detail can feel more prominent on a small cupboard than a tall door. Your final paint colour and handles will also affect the overall appearance.
Coordinate the kitchen fronts
Measure each door and drawer front individually, and record quantities for every size. A shallow drawer may need a slab front where there is insufficient space for a framed centre panel. You can combine different front types in the same order.
Replacing fronts works best when the existing cabinets are in good condition and the layout suits you. Check the fixings, hinges, drawer mechanisms and visible end panels as part of the same project.
Finish and drilling choices
Order unfinished for your own preparation and painting, or select primed before applying your chosen final finish. Frontly's online range is supplied unfinished or primed; the kitchen photographs are inspiration for finished schemes.
For hinged doors, the builder offers no drilling or two hinge-cup positions on the chosen side. Hinge side is shown from the rear. Measure from the top edge to the upper cup centre and from the bottom edge to the lower cup centre. Contact us about additional hinges and unusual arrangements.
Start with accurate measurements
Use the measuring guide to check your list, then configure and price beaded Shaker doors. You can also compare bevelled Shaker and traditional Shaker. Professional fitters and joiners can apply for a trade account.
