HPL Laminate

High Pressure Laminate (HPL) is a popular choice for kitchen facades due to its ruggedness, practicality, hygiene, and affordability. This material offers limitless finish options, including matte, glossy, and embossed textures, as well as a vast array of colors and shades. HPL can emulate the natural look of wood or imitate the more textured, industrial appearance of concrete and metal.

Veneer

Veneer kitchen doors boast unique patterns and are constructed with a chipboard core covered by wood veneer sheets using a special adhesive. The panel ends are edge-banded with solid wood pieces approximately 1mm thick, and optionally, the surfaces are finished with multiple lacquer coats, enhancing aesthetics and protection against external elements. Veneers come in both glossy and matte finishes and are available in a variety of wood species, including exotic and rare types.

Ceramic

Ceramic kitchen doors are typically made from thin sheets of ceramic attached to aluminum frames, which can come in various colors. The ceramic material itself is 3mm thick. Porcelain stoneware, a specific type of ceramic containing kaolin (the main component of porcelain), has a dense and uniform structure with a highly waterproof surface. This non-porous material does not absorb or emit substances, making it extremely practical. Ceramic is resistant to stains, scratches, and is easy to clean, providing a modern and stylish look for your kitchen.

Solid Wood

Solid wood panels feature unique natural patterns and are treated with special coatings to enhance moisture resistance. These fronts can be designed with various frame shapes, usually consisting of a solid wood frame and an MDF veneer center. This construction method helps prevent microcracks due to humidity changes. To maintain optimal performance, the relative humidity level should be between 40-60%. Woods used include oak, ash, chestnut, and walnut. One notable advantage of wooden facades is their easy restorability, contributing to a long service life.

Glass

Several types of glass are used for kitchen facades, including transparent, semi-transparent, and non-transparent options. Typically, glass doors feature an aluminum frame, which can be in different colors. In some models, glass is laminated onto particle board for a non-transparent look. Available in both glossy and satin finishes and approximately 4mm thick, tempered glass is preferred for its impact resistance and safety. Glass is non-porous, making it highly hygienic, waterproof, resistant to wear and tear, and easy to clean. Using glass fronts can add elegance and sophistication to any kitchen design.

PET

PET kitchen doors are made from a decorative thermoplastic polyester coating, offering great aesthetics and durability. These doors are resistant to water, highly hygienic, and made from MDF boards with a PET film layer of 0.3 to 0.5mm thickness. PET's flexibility and dimensional stability contribute to its long-term maintenance-free performance. It features good heat resistance, durability, and thermal aging resistance, making it an innovative material ideal for contemporary interiors that require a sleek and elegant look.

Metal

Metal kitchen doors, such as those made from stainless steel, are often used in industrial-style kitchens for their modern and unique appearance. Available in various colors (gold, brass, blued steel, aluminum) and in satin or polished finishes, metal facades offer numerous high-end design possibilities. These doors are hygienic, resistant to temperature changes, and provide a striking look for upscale kitchen spaces.
