- Push to open channel: As the name suggests all you have to do is ‘Push’ to slide it open.
Shutters(Doors of trolleys) that are used In Premium kitchen are of following types:
- Acrylic Shutters: Acrylic sheet is used to cover the wood instead of Laminate. Acrylic are considered best choice for kitchen cabinets in terms of varieties of colors available. Acrylic material provide brightness and glossy-look to cabinets. They are scratch resistant and maintain their gloss for a long time. In terms of cost, these are more expensive
- Aluminium profile shutters: These shutters are made up of aluminium frame and are very easy to clean. These are usually coupled with Glass or Frosted Glass.

Channels which are used in budget kitchen belong to local brands but yes they are also as durable as the branded ones. These channels are also called as Telescopic Channels.
