The Gentry Gunmetal Blue Black Glaze is Kitchen Craft's deep blue-gray finish on the Gentry flat-panel door, with a hand-applied black glaze settled along the frame edges. The Gentry runs a flat panel rather than a Shaker, which gives the door a cleaner, more contemporary read while still carrying the depth of the glazed finish.
Why a Flat Panel Holds the Glaze Differently
A flat-panel door has no inside reveal for the glaze to settle into, so the glaze emphasizes the outside frame edges and the door's outer profile rather than a panel field. The result reads more graphic and less hand-built than a glazed Shaker, but the depth in the corners still gives the finish character a flat painted door cannot match. Built on MDF, the substrate takes the multi-step finish smoothly.

Designed For
The Gentry door in this finish suits modern and contemporary kitchens that want depth without traditional ornament, primary bath vanities where the saturated tone works as an accent, and color-block kitchens where the blue serves as the focal moment. It pairs comfortably with white or light quartz tops, unlacquered brass or matte black hardware, and oak or walnut flooring.
Sample Tip
Glazed finishes vary between doors as part of the look, and saturated blues drift between daylight and warm LED. Order a door sample and view it next to your counter slab under your real evening fixtures before locking in the order, since the glaze depth and the blue saturation both read differently in person than on a photo or a flat sample card.
