About Highland Grey Shaker

Highland Grey Shaker cabinets — what to know

The style

Why homeowners pick it

Grey Shaker is Highland's mid-tone painted gray — true cool gray with enough depth to read as a real color, not a tinted white. The most flexible neutral we install: it works in modern coastal, transitional, and contemporary kitchens.

Construction

How Grey Shaker is built

Highland's American face-framed construction. Drawer boxes are dovetailed solid wood with 1/2" thick sides riding on full-extension undermount soft-close steel slides — they pull out completely and lift off for cleaning. Doors are full-overlay 5-piece birch wood on a birch wood face frame, hung on 6-way adjustable hidden hinges with soft-close. The cabinet box is 1/2" plywood reinforced with metal “L” brackets, with 3/4" stretchers on the back and a 4-1/2" recessed toe kick. All interiors get a clear-coat UV finish.

South Florida fit

How it works in our climate

Mid-tone greys hold up beautifully under South Florida's bright natural light without going washed-out (the way light grays can) or gloomy (the way dark grays can). UV-cured paint locks the tone in for years of consistent color.
