Question:
Will I be able to match a new replacement door to my existing kitchen doors?
Answer:
Matching Existing Cupboard Doors with New Replacement Kitchen Doors
We often get asked if one or more of our new replacement doors can be matched alongside existing cupboard doors.
In short, we do not recommend this for the following reasons:
1. Colour matching issues:
- Manufacturing variations: Manufacturing techniques evolve, causing even the same range to vary year by year.
- Environmental effects: Existing doors may have sun damage or light exposure, altering their appearance.
2. Replacement door range purpose:
- Our replacement door service is designed to reface your entire kitchen, offering a fresh look without a full, and costly kitchen reinstallation.
3. Additional fittings:
- You may need to replace panels, cornices, pelmets, and kick boards to ensure a consistent look.
What we do recommend:
- Ordering a sample: If you want to try matching a door, order a sample to compare it directly with your existing doors. Read more about ordering samples here.
- Complete replacement: Replacing all your kitchen frontages is an easy and cost-effective way to transform your space, often without needing tradespeople.
