About Portofino
What it's actually like.
Portofino is a shaker door made from one piece of MDF with the frame profile cut into it, painted all round in a smooth matt finish. It gives you the shaker look without the price of a five-piece timber door.
There are five stock colours, from white and ivory through light grey to anthracite and indigo, and the paint-to-order palette is available too.

Honest view
Who Portofino suits, and who it doesn't.
Worth knowing
- A one-piece door has the shaker profile cut into it rather than a built frame, so it looks flatter up close than a five-piece timber door
- Painted MDF can chip at the edges if knocked, and is touched up rather than sanded and repainted like timber
Cost and practicality
What Portofino costs.
Portofino sits in the ££ (mid-range) price band: painted doors, the middle of the range for door cost. That compares door against door, it isn't a quote. A full kitchen from design to the final coat of paint is from £9,000 inc. VAT; if you've already bought your doors, full project management of the fit is from £3,000 inc. VAT, or a dry-fit only install from £2,000 inc. VAT. The exact figure comes at your survey.
Frequently asked
Portofino questions, answered honestly.
What does 'one-piece shaker' mean?
The shaker frame is cut into a single piece of MDF instead of five pieces joined together, so there are no joints in the door. It gives the look at a lower price than a five-piece timber door like Caldaro.
