Brian No brian, they are moulded in the door and then finished in the same stuff as the door, or at least they are on mine. Dove grey with the red artificial stone surfaces makes a really nice combination. |

I have not used them yet but called into their showroom earlier in the year and as suitably impressed with the quality. And, everything is individually priced instead of an arbitrary price for the whole kitchen. Just a shame that they don't do anything true-handleless. |

Brian No, I was thinking of the type where the door does not go all the way to the top of the cabinet. Instead it stops about 25mm short and there is an aluminium channel fixed across the cabinet behind. So, no handles but access to the top of the door. Sorry Brian, hope I have explained it adequately but https://www.benchmarxkitchens.co.uk/true-handleless for anyone who can see the pictures. |

You can fit them to any door designed for handles and leave a flat surface. You can even get electric powered stuff that is handle less like my bosch dishwasher. Push door to open, but I do have a moulded handle on it as I wanted the door to match the others. |

The handless ones have moulded in "handles". The rest are flat or moulded for you to fit handles. So if you want flat slabs you don't want to look for "handle less". |

Presumably those you press to have it spring open and press again to close. The handless ones have moulded in "handles". The rest are flat or moulded for you to fit handles. So if you want flat slabs you don't want to look for "handle less". |
