Samples

See it and feel it before you commit.

Two sizes, two jobs. An 80 × 160 mm finish sample settles the colour. A 400 × 200 mm drawer front — a real one, made the way your order is made — settles the profile, the edge and the scale.

Screens lie a little. On-screen colour varies with your monitor, phone and screen calibration — a white can look warm on one screen and blue on another. Always check a physical sample before you order.

Customea finishes and samples

Two kinds of sample

Not a bigger sample. The actual door.

The Full Size Profile Sample is a real 400 × 200 mm drawer front, made on the same line, in the same material, with the same edge and profile as the doors we would ship you. The 80 × 160 mm finish sample settles the colour before you get there, and its value comes back to you as a unique discount code.

Full size profile sample

The real thing

A 400 × 200 mm drawer front — the real thing, made the way your order is made.

Same material, same profile, same edge and same finish as the doors we would ship you. It is not an enlarged sample of the finish — it is the drawer front.

It answers what nothing else can: whether a 60 mm Shaker frame suits your cabinet width, how a groove reads at real scale, how the edge meets the handle.

It ships straight away, and the value comes back to you as a unique discount code — so narrowing your shortlist costs you nothing in the end.

FAQs

Common questions.

How long does delivery take?+

Ready to ship samples usually leave within one to two business days. Made to order samples are built with the same process as your doors, so allow the lead time shown on the card.

How does the sample credit work?+

The value of your finish samples comes back as a single-use discount code, emailed to you automatically after payment. It is valid for 12 months on orders of $1,000 or more, and does not apply to Full Size Profile Samples.

Can I get a sample in a custom Dulux colour?+

Yes. Order the Full Size Profile Sample (Colour) and give us the colour code and name — any Dulux, Taubmans or Porters colour. It is sprayed to order, so allow 4 weeks.

Do samples show the profile shape?+

Only the Full Size Profile Samples do. The 80 × 160 mm finish sample is for colour and texture; the 400 × 200 mm drawer front shows profile, edge and scale.

What is the difference between the two sample types?+

A Full Size Profile Sample is a real 400 × 200 mm drawer front, made the way your order is made, for judging profile shape, edge and scale, from $30–$100, and it is not credited back. A Finish Sample is an 80 × 160 mm colour sample in the real material, from $5–$10, and its value is credited back.

Can I order several samples at once?+

Yes, and we recommend it. Comparing two or three finishes side by side in your own light is far more useful than judging one on its own.

When do I get my code?+

It is emailed to you automatically as soon as your sample order is paid. One use, valid for 12 months, on orders of $1,000 or more.

Start with the colour.
