Solid wood is one of the most desirable materials for kitchen cabinet doors. It exudes a warmth and elegance that is hard to beat, and is satisfyingly robust and heavy! However, solid wood doors also come with a price tag that is not suitable to everyone's budget. So it's cost effective too.

In addition, it's not always practical; while it may look great, it doesn't stand up to dents and dings particularly well. But what's the alternative?

If you want the welcoming ambience of wood, but don't have the budget or it isn't practical to your needs, it's worth checking out the next best thing: wood effect vinyl kitchen doors.

What are vinyl wrap kitchen doors?

They're made from panels of MDF that are wrapped in a layer of vinyl and glued together. In practical terms, they offer a lot more resilience than solid wood. They're highly durable and damage resistant.

So that means your cupboards will save you money in that they're cheaper than having a whole new kitchen, but they also offer a great life span. You won't need to buy new ones later on.

Vinyl is virtually waterproof, wipes clean very easily and is incredibly hardy, tolerating dents and dings to a much greater degree than solid wood.

As a result, it is becoming a popular choice for those with busy kitchens or for kitchens that offer limited space and where more accidents are likely to occur.

Can you tell the difference between vinyl wrap and wood?

There are those who suggest that anything less than solid wood is inferior, but even they would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two! We offer a large range of wood effect vinyl kitchen doors.

We do everything made to measure so your new vinyl wrapped kitchen doors fit perfectly in the rest of the room's furniture.

Our Kensington range offers a variety of wood effects, from the rustic charms of limed oak to the sleek sophistication of dark walnut. Each vinyl wrap is textured with woodgrain effects, making it virtually impossible to tell the difference between it and its natural counterpart.

Wood effect kitchen cabinets and doors

For those who want to add some depth and a feeling of space to their kitchens, cabinet doors made from alabaster ash or Swiss pear are ideal solutions.

These lighter woods reflect light softly and with subtlety, creating a comforting ambience – perfect for country-style or traditional kitchens. In addition, their paler character makes it very easy to co-ordinate with existing colour schemes and appliances.

Bolder, darker woods, such as walnut, alder and dark walnut are better suited to modern kitchens, as they interact visually with contemporary materials, such as stainless steel and glass. Darker woods also tend to work well with bolder colour-schemes, giving you the opportunity to create an air of designer sophistication.
