2026-11-10 0 Leave me a message

Short answer: VSME makes cabinet doors in twelve material families: melamine-faced panel, PET, acrylic, painted (lacquer), wood veneer, vitrified board, sintered stone, glass, leather, fabric, stainless steel and aluminium-frame doors. Our selection catalogue lists more than 2,900 door colours, swatches and door styles (count as of November 2026). Every door is made to the project drawings. The material, colour code and door style for each cabinet are written into the quotation and confirmed on a physical sample before production.

This page is a map of what we can supply and where each material fits. It does not rank materials by price or durability: the same material name can cover very different doors, so we compare options for your actual project in the quotation.

Flat colour and wood-grain doors

Melamine-faced panel

A decorative melamine surface pressed onto board. It is the largest range in our catalogue and the same colours are used for cabinet carcasses, so doors and cabinet interiors can match. Doors are usually flat, with edge banding on the edges; curved and shaped styles are listed separately. Ask to see the edge banding beside the face colour, because the edge is what you see when a door is open.

PET

PET panels give a smooth, even face in super-matte or high-gloss finishes and suit handle-free modern kitchens and wardrobes. Our range includes nano-coated (NCT) panels and six-side seamless panels, where the finish continues around the edges instead of using a separate edge band. See White PET Kitchen Cabinets: A Closer Look at Finish, Layout and Lighting.

Acrylic

Acrylic is used mainly for high-gloss flat doors, including six-side seamless panels. As with any high-gloss surface, view the sample under your own lighting before approving it.

Painted doors

Painted (lacquer) doors are the choice when the colour itself matters most, or when the door has a profile: shaker frames, molded doors, carved panels and curved doors are all made in paint. Colours can be specified by RAL Classic or NCS code, alongside our own matte, gloss, metallic and artistic paint finishes. Because paint is sprayed for each order, we confirm the colour on a painted sample, and the sample approval should state which colour, sheen and door profile it covers. See Approving a Cabinet Finish Sample Without Overstating What It Covers.

Wood veneer

Wood veneer is a thin layer of real wood over a board, so the door has a real wood surface without being made from solid wood. We offer natural veneers and engineered veneers. Engineered veneer is made from real wood that has been recomposed to give a more regular grain and colour. Natural veneer shows the variation of the species. On a run of tall doors or an island, decide how the grain should flow from door to door before the order is priced. See Veneer Matching for Cabinet Doors: Approve the Whole Elevation.

Glass, vitrified board and stone

Glass doors

Glass doors are usually made as aluminium-frame doors with a glass insert. The range covers clear, tinted, fluted, coated and wicker-pattern glass and glass with decorative inlays, with frames in many colours. They are used for display cabinets, walk-in closets and bar units, often with lighting inside. The drawing should define the glass type and thickness, frame profile, hinges or sliding hardware and lighting before quotation. See What Must a Glass Cabinet Door Drawing Define Before Quotation? and Glass Wardrobe Door Specification: Safety, Weight and Edge Protection.

Vitrified board

Vitrified board doors (shown as Glazed Panel in our product brochure) have a glass-look face in solid colours and are offered in flat and framed styles, with matching panel handles. They suit modern kitchens and wardrobes where a reflective or soft-matte colour surface is wanted.

Sintered stone

Sintered stone doors let the cabinet fronts continue the look of a stone worktop or back wall. Stone-faced doors are heavier than board doors, so door size and hinge selection are checked on the drawing.

Leather, fabric and metal

Leather and fabric doors bring texture to wardrobes, walk-in closets and dressing rooms. They are better suited to dry rooms than to areas beside a sink or cooktop. Stainless steel doors come in a range of surface colours for kitchens that want a metal face. Aluminium-frame doors combine a slim frame with an insert in almost any of the materials above.

What we confirm in the quotation

For every cabinet, the quotation lists the door material, colour or veneer code, door style, edge detail, handle and hinge. Before production, the main finishes are confirmed on physical samples. Samples are usually ready in 7–14 days, and sample freight is paid by the buyer. Production takes about 45–55 days after payments reach 50% of the order value.
