Door profile
Slab cabinet doors
One uninterrupted face. No frame, no panel, nothing to catch the eye.
What a slab door is
A slab door is a single flat face with no frame and no panel. It is the whole vocabulary of a modern kitchen in one component: the cabinetry stops competing for attention, and the countertop, the backsplash and the hardware carry the room instead.
Because there is no frame to break up the surface, a slab door shows whatever the material is doing across its full width — a continuous run of grain on a wood door, or a completely uniform field on a painted one. That makes the material choice more consequential here than on any other profile.
The honest part
What you are accepting
A slab door is the least forgiving door there is. Any bow, any variation in colour between doors, any inconsistency in the finish has nothing to hide behind. It also shows fingerprints more than a profiled door, particularly in a dark or a gloss finish.
And there is nowhere to put a traditional knob without it looking like an afterthought. Slab kitchens almost always want a long bar pull or an integrated edge pull, which is a hardware decision you are effectively making at the same time as the door.

Lincoln Road
SlabFull overlay
The slab door in real wood. With no frame to interrupt it the grain runs unbroken across the whole face, which is the entire reason to specify it in quartersawn white oak.
Available in Oak, Maple, Cherry, Quartersawn White Oak

Wood species vary in grain and colour from piece to piece — the rustic species deliberately so — and printed and on-screen colour never matches a finished door exactly. Order a sample door before you commit to a kitchen.

Put one in your hand
A door front in your hand under your own kitchen lights tells you more than any screen will. We keep samples of both lines at the Granby showroom — bring a countertop chip and a photo of the room and we will put them together.
