Modern slab kitchen cabinets in New Jersey — flat-panel doors, painted, wood, acrylic and laminate

Slab in wood, paint or engineered surfaces

There are three kinds of slab door and they live differently. A painted or stained wood slab (Fabuwood Luxe, Adornus Manhattan, Shiloh and Eclipse slabs in any species) looks like furniture and touches up like it. An engineered front — gloss or matte acrylic, high-pressure laminate, textured thermally-fused laminate, reconstituted veneer — is the European look: perfectly flat, consistent, wipeable, with matching edge banding; Eclipse's Metropolitan door and Adornus Alusso and SoHo are built this way. A slim shaker such as Fabuwood Luna or Echo reads as a slab from across the room while keeping a shallow frame — which is why Luna is in more of our modern kitchens than any true slab.
