How Batten Kitchen Cabinet Doors Are Designed

Batten doors consist of various widths of vertical wood planks which are held together on the interior of the door by battens.  Think of how a wood gate is made with vertical strips of wood on the exterior view being held together by two horizontal pieces of wood (battens) at the top and bottom and a diagonal piece extending between to hold the strips together.

Batten Design is Great for Rustic Styles

Kitchen cabinet doors constructed in batten style also work well in rustic kitchens.  Batten kitchen cabinet doors are normally constructed from quality solid wood which accepts stain and glazes well.  Kitchen cabinets with a batten design will be the perfect choice for an early Colonial American or rustic design.
