Complete the look of your kitchen with these end panels and back panels. Designed to match our range of units, an end panel will hide the interior of any cabinet which isn’t fitted against a wall. They will complement the colour of your doors perfectly, ensuring the smartest and cleanest appearance. If you’ve got a breakfast bar in your kitchen, you’ll also want to consider a breakfast bar back panel. Much like the end panels, it’s a fantastic aesthetic addition but is practical too – a backing panel can protect your walls from splashes, keeping your kitchen cleaner and more hygienic.

 

What are kitchen end panels and why do I need them?

Kitchen end panels are decorative boards fitted to the exposed sides of cabinet runs to cover carcass material, hide gaps and give a neat finish.
You need them when a kitchen cabinet side is open to view (not against a wall) or when the carcass finish does not match the door finish.

How do I pick the right finish and material for my kitchen cabinet panels?

• Choose a finish that matches your doors (colour, sheen, style). 
• Use the same material (or one close) for durability and consistent look. 
• Consider board thickness, edge banding and matching the plinth or cornice height so the panel sits flush.

What are common mistakes when using cabinet panels and how do I avoid them?

• Forgetting to account for the panel thickness in the run measurement (can cause doors to misalign). 
• Not trimming for uneven walls/floors leading to gaps or mis-fit. 
• Using mismatched finishes/materials (looks cheap) or cheap thin board that may warp.
