The short version

Do not match from a photo.

Door face

PVC MATTE SOFT-TOUCH

Doors are Shaker style with a PVC Matte Soft-Touch surface over ¾" MDF thermofoil. The matte texture is factory-applied, not a field-applied paint or an oiled wood finish.

The surface cannot be sanded and recoated.

Box interior

MELAMINE

The cabinet box is ¾" plywood with double-sided melamine, and the drawer box is ⅝" plywood with a melamine finish.

It is not the PVC door face.

Ask your dealer for care guidance.

Box interior/¾" plywood with double-sided melamine

The cabinet box is ¾" plywood with double-sided melamine. The box interior is melamine — it is not the PVC door face.

Review the colour, material and finish listed for the exact model number before ordering. Images can differ because of lighting, screen settings and normal manufacturing variation.

Order or review a physical sample when an exact colour match matters. Ask your local dealer for care guidance, any required preparation before painting, and compatibility with surrounding cabinets, trim and hardware.

Two cabinet colours

VanStro kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities are offered in White and Light Grey. These are the published colour options for this cabinet line. Other colours, stains or custom tints are not listed for these products. Do not match from a photo. Check against a VanStro sample.

White and light grey Shaker cabinet door samples
White and Light Grey are the published cabinet colours. Confirm a match with a physical sample, not a screen.

Door finish

Doors are Shaker style with a PVC Matte Soft-Touch surface over ¾" MDF thermofoil. The matte texture is factory-applied, not a field-applied paint or an oiled wood finish. Sheen and colour come from that process. The surface cannot be sanded and recoated. The surface is opaque and sealed at the factory. Cleaning products will not change the colour or correct a sheen difference.

Box and drawer interiors. The cabinet box is ¾" plywood with double-sided melamine, and the drawer box is ⅝" plywood with a melamine finish. The box interior is melamine. It is not the PVC door face. When you compare a door sample to an open cabinet, expect a factory melamine surface, not the PVC soft-touch used on the door.

Baseboard and trim

VanStro baseboard and trim, when included in an order, are finger-jointed pine with a sanded, paint-ready putty-white surface. That surface is prepared for painting. It is not a pre-finished match to White or Light Grey cabinet doors. If you need the trim to match the cabinets, confirm the paint plan with your dealer before installation.

Hardware. Doors and drawers use DTC six-way adjustable soft-close hinges and drawer slides. Finish questions for the cabinet itself do not change that hardware specification; hinge and slide appearance should be checked on the product page for the model number you are ordering.

Confirming a match

Use the colour, material and finish named on the exact model number, then confirm with a physical sample when the match has to be exact. Your local dealer is the place to ask about care, paint-ready trim preparation, and whether your existing cabinets, trim and hardware will coordinate with White or Light Grey.
