Frequently asked questions
How is the skinny shaker different from the micro shaker?
The skinny shaker uses a 45mm frame — slimmer than the classic 80mm but with more presence than the 10mm micro. It's the middle ground when a micro feels too fine but a classic feels too traditional.
Does the skinny shaker work for larger doors?
Yes — the 45mm frame keeps its balance on tall larder and wardrobe doors better than the very slim frames, so it's a good all-rounder across a whole kitchen.
Does a slimmer or wider frame cost more?
No — the price is the same as a standard shaker at the same size, because it's the same board machined the same way. You're choosing the look, not paying a frame premium. Price only changes with the door's overall size.
Are these made to measure?
Yes. Every door is CNC-machined one-piece from moisture-resistant MDF to your exact width and height — these named styles are just presets you can start from and then size in the configurator.
How are they made?
From a single sheet of ultra-high-density MR MDF, so there are no mitred corner joints to open or shadow through your paint.
