What is a Slab Door

A slab door is quite literally a door that is a slab of material - as opposed to framed panel door (like a Shaker door design). This style of door used to be the domain of ultra modern kitchen design but more recently, we have seen this style integrated into in-frame kitchen designs. This just goes to show that anything goes and that its perfectly acceptable to combine traditional design with modern elements.

Its possible that a slab door could feature an external handle - although this isn’t common since to some extent, it defeats the reason behind the design, which is to present you with a clean fuss free surface. More often than not, a slab door features a push to open mechanism or an integrated handle design like a ‘J’ pull along the top edge of the door (and drawer).

At Homeinsite, you will see many examples of slab doored kitchens with all types of integrated handles and in many different kinds of finishes.
