CNC Cabinetry Luxor White L10
A two and a half inch shaker rail is wider than the standard, and that one measurement changes the whole door. The CNC Cabinetry Luxor White L10 uses it around a flat center panel with a half inch reveal, cut with mortise and tenon corners and finished with a slab drawer front. HM Cabinetry keeps the Luxor White L10 door at the East Brunswick showroom, where you can hold it against a narrower shaker and see the difference.
What is built into the CNC Cabinetry Luxor White L10
The Luxor door comes two ways, and that choice matters more than the color does. The white version is MDF, which takes a painted finish with no grain to telegraph through it, while the birch version is solid wood in the same profile. The CNC Cabinetry Luxor White L10 keeps the half inch reveal either way, hung on a framed hardwood box.

More about CNC Cabinetry Luxor White L10
A wider rail reads as heavier, and on a white kitchen that is usually the point. The two and a half inch Luxor frame gives the door more face and the flat center panel less, so the run looks built rather than like a flat sheet with a groove cut into it. HM Cabinetry uses CNC Cabinetry Luxor White L10 in Middlesex and Monmouth county kitchens with tall ceilings or long uninterrupted runs, both of which swallow a narrow shaker frame.
MDF against solid birch is the question that comes up at the counter, and the answer depends on the finish. For a painted white door, MDF is the steadier choice, because it has no grain to raise under the paint and no joint movement at the corners through a dry winter. Solid birch earns its place when the door is stained and the grain is the point. Either way the cabinet behind it is the same framed box, with a quarter inch back in a three inch plywood surround, half inch plywood ends, and a kiln dried hardwood face frame glued and nailed under clamp pressure.
The half inch reveal means a strip of face frame shows between every pair of doors, and on a white kitchen that line is a design feature rather than a fault. HM Cabinetry sets the six way hinges on the Luxor White L10 after the first heating season so those reveals stay even across the run, and orders replacement doors out of the same batch.
