Art Deco Shaker kitchen base unit doors
Kitchen base unit doors in our art deco shaker profile, machined one-piece from moisture-resistant MDF to your exact size. Base unit doors take the most use in any kitchen, so they need to be flat, stable and dead-square. Ours are machined one-piece from moisture-resistant MDF, so there are no framed joints to loosen behind the hinges over years of slamming.
The Art Deco Shaker — also known as a stepped shaker — reworks our classic recessed panel with a terraced, art-deco surround. Instead of a single square shoulder, the margin around the panel steps down in stages: a 2mm riser, a 12mm tread, a 4mm riser, a second 12mm tread, then a final 4mm step to the recessed field — three crisp shadow lines that catch the light like 1930s cabinetry.

Frequently asked questions
What makes this an art-deco profile?
It's terraced rather than square. The margin steps down in stages — a 2mm riser, a 12mm tread, a 4mm riser, a second 12mm tread, then a final 4mm step into the field — which puts three separate shadow lines around the panel instead of one. It's the stepped detailing you see on 1930s cabinetry.
How much frame width does the stepped surround need?
The steps run to just over 34mm before the field starts, so rails and stiles need to be comfortably wider than that for the profile to read properly — the 80mm default suits it. The configurator clamps anything it can't cut.
Is there a rounded-corner version?
Yes — a radiused variant of the same terraced profile, which softens the corners of the surround while keeping the stepped shadow lines. Ask us for it by name and we'll set it up.
Are these made to measure?
Yes. Every door is CNC-machined one-piece from moisture-resistant MDF to your exact width and height — enter the size in the configurator and the price updates as you type.
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.
