So before you get started on your dream kitchen designs, here are some tips to know about the different types of handleless doors to choose from:
• J-pull handleless kitchen doors: In this model, there is a J-shaped groove so you can curl four fingers in and pull the door without any difficulty. Also, the glossy or matte surface of the door does not get dirty or leaves marks from greasy fingerprints.
• True grip style: This style requires a stainless-steel channel on the top of the door which is placed between the upper part and edge of the door to allow your fingers to curl into the groove and have a safe pull or push.
• Tall cabinet kitchen doors: For all the tall units that are placed adjacent in the kitchen, a C-shaped groove is created in the middle which gives a closet like look. Commonly referred to as shadow gap channel, this groove can be replaced by a horizontal channel placed in-between two adjacent doors. Therefore these tall units are commonly utilised for the fridge-freezer unit in the kitchen.
