Are they easy to wrap?

Shaker-style kitchen doors are popular because their framed design can suit both traditional and contemporary kitchens. If you want to change their colour, you may be wondering whether they can be wrapped.

In many cases, shaker doors can be wrapped, but the door’s design, condition and surface material need to be assessed first.

Is wrapping different on shaker doors?

Yes. Shaker doors have a recessed centre and raised frame, which creates more edges and corners than a flat door.

The installer needs to work carefully around these details to achieve a neat finish. The time and material required can differ from those for flat doors.

What colours work well on shaker doors?

Popular style options include sage green, cashmere, cream, white, warm grey and selected wood-effect finishes.

The best choice depends on the kitchen’s lighting, worktops, flooring and handles. A traditional door can take on a very different character depending on its colour and finish.

Can damaged shaker doors be wrapped?

The surface must be suitable for adhesion. Loose coatings, swelling, broken corners and damaged edges can affect the outcome.

Wrapping should not be treated as a repair for a structurally failing door. The installer should assess the door before work begins.

Is wrapping shaker doors worth it?

If the doors are in good condition and you want to change their appearance, wrapping may be worth comparing with replacement.

A quotation should take account of the door style, number of doors, preparation and chosen vinyl.

What should I do before booking?

Take photographs of the doors, including close-ups of the recessed panels and edges. Ask the installer whether the existing finish is suitable and how the new vinyl will be finished around the details.

With the right preparation and material, wrapping can be an option for refreshing suitable shaker-style kitchen doors.
