British kitchen furniture manufacturer Masterclass Kitchens has launched 6 new ranges as part of its Summer 2026 collection. This update extends full material co-ordination across the product offering and addresses one of the most consistent requests from its retail partners: genuine oak Shaker doors.

The launch introduces 2 new painted-effect and stained wood-effect Shaker doors: Portobello, a 22mm-thick door with 60mm stiles and rails, and Soho, a slimmer 35mm alternative. Both are manufactured with a lifelike grained effect, finished with continuous PUR-glued edging, and are available across 7 painted-effect colourways – Light Grey, Charcoal, Onyx, Highland Stone, Caramel, Earl Grey and Willow – alongside the brand’s 4 signature wood-effect finishes: Blonde Oak, Portland Oak, Tuscan Walnut and Espresso.

Responding directly to showroom feedback, where retailers reported growing customer demand for solid oak doors in a natural or stained finish, Masterclass has also introduced stained finishes into existing timber ranges. This change covers their Hardwick and Oslo ranges. Both are crafted from solid European white oak, and are offered in stained Blonde Oak, Portland Oak, Tuscan Walnut and Espresso finishes.

Completing the launch are Siena and H-Line Siena, an 18mm painted wood-effect flat slab door with a vertical grain finish, available within the Timeless and H-Line Collections respectively.

Every new range has been developed for full co-ordination. This means retailers can now design kitchens with doors, cabinetry, drawers, handles, handle rails, worktops, shelving, acoustic wall panelling and Signature Collection storage features in the same finish throughout the space.

Steve Tough, group sales director at Masterclass Kitchens, said: “The ability to deliver complete co-ordination across a kitchen has become one of the most powerful ways our retail partners can differentiate their offer. When doors, cabinetry, worktops, storage and acoustic wall panelling are designed to work together in a single finish, retailers can create kitchens that feel truly unique and difficult to replicate elsewhere. With the introduction of Portobello, Soho, Hardwick and Oslo, we’re giving our partners even more opportunities to create distinctive spaces that reflect the individuality of their customers and help them stand apart in a highly competitive market.”

The launch also brings new bi-fold options, including bi-fold door dressers, wall cabinets and base cabinets, to the H-Line Collection, adding further competitive advantage to the range and building on options already hugely popular within the Timeless Collection. All new products are available to order immediately.
