is this a handleless door

6 years ago

I can't work out how the cabinet doors open? Are they handleless?

Hi,

Apologies for the late reply! It is a handleless door, called a push catch.

Thanks,

Trevor

Thanks for getting back to me. I thought so but dont' you think the weight inside the drawers would cause a difficulty to open at some point?

thanks again

Handle-less or Handles?????

Yes I would go 'strip handle' as above if a proper handleless was not an option. Wren or cheaper will simply not work . I have designed and helped friends who were on a budget with Howdens kitchens (I'm a qualified interior designer with over 10 years experience in very high end kitchens) , their (Howdens) top of the range collection is really good. Really good mechanisms and drawers (the dark square drawers ) I have not looked at their handleless options so can't comment if it's a 'rail' behind the door like the photo few comments above I would go for it. You would need a proper help with the design and ordering as their 'designers' are not that experienced ... Easiest option get your Wren (if you are happy with it ) quote / design and ask the Howdens designer/ sales person to copy it. ;)

If you're looking at the J profile handleless door then make sure you get a painted and lacquered 22mm thick door and not an inferior vinyl wrapped door. The differences are the painted door has a deep J profile which you can get your fingers in and open the appliance doors easily. Also you can now have a d/washer that is push/touch open doors, i know Bosch make one. A vinyl wrapped door due to manufacturing limitations has a very shallow profile and you can't get your fingers into the groove for d/washers and fr/frz to open easily. There are a few cut and edged deep J profile vinyl doors on the market now but tbh the finish of the edging around the J profile isn't the best. As for the true handleless style as previously stated more expensive to produce, more fiddly to install (more expensive), limited choice of accessories and unit sizes unlikely to find any curved doors to suit and you have to make sure any appliances will fit underneath the handle rail. An independant supplier would be able to offer more colour choices for the handle rail than one of the sheds as there's plenty of different colours on the market.

I notice in your idea book you have a number of kitchens with white top and grey bottom units. That might work for your kitchen. I don’t mind your current wall tiles. They appear to be of good quality and well installed. Replacing your flooring with something more neutral may be a good idea.

Thanks Dual Designs (and by the way that should have been "any advice", not "a advice"... typed too quickly!). The ranges I'm looking at to create this look are both PWS/Second Nature: the Alpina Natural Oak Matt and Porter Carbon bespoke paint colour - so those are the ones I'd specifically asked the designer to work with but he's not keen even though he supplies them (amongst other ranges). I can't find anything on the PWS or Second Nature websites about the doors being lacquered as well as veneered (have sent them a web query but haven't heard back). Does anyone have experience of Second Nature veneered doors specifically?

Hi Amalia,

No problem at all. It's not caused any issues for our client's at this project.

Thanks,

Trevor
