Where can I get a real oak end panel?

HiI'm having the solid oak kitchen from B&Q fitted and I want to cover the laminate oak-effect panels that cover the side of my tall fridge freezer and the dishwasher. I'd like to find oak/oak veneer panels. Does anyone know which kitchen companies do these, please? I could put doors on the side but they'd look really odd.Thanks

    They come in small, medium & large sort of sizes.

    Two edges are finished nice & the other two are designed to be cut, along the back to get it back to the right shape & depth of the wall & along the top/bottom.

    B&Q are a bit lax, who wants oak "effect" panels with an oak kitchen, urgh.

    Just in case B&Q do "effect" light pelments or anything, Ikeas pelmets & kick boards are nice too.

    Failing that you could continue your worktop down the side of the cupboard, down to the floor. Very fashionable and looks really smart ;)

  • Thanks for the info everyone. Doozergirl than would be lovely but the layout of my kitchen would mean that it would look strange.Just for anyone who does a search in future, Tidaholm/Urikstall (sp?) oak kitchens in Ikea colour match qite well with B and Q solid oak.The end panels have solved the problem and look the business.Thanks againx
