Melamine —square edge
Melamine Square Edge door panels feature 1mm or 2mm ABS edges in either matching or contrasting colours. Economical, easy to clean, and robust, they are generally recommended for kitchens that expect more wear and tear.
Melamine—rolled edge
Rolled Edge Melamine faced door panels feature 2 seamless rolled melamine edges, with the remaining edges finished in matching or contrasting ABS edging colours. Slightly more expensive than melamine square edge doors, they’re available in a select number of decors, including woodgrains.
Vinyl wrapped
A vinyl wrapped door is made of an MDF panel that has been cut, routed and profiled to provide the desired style. This is adhered and covered with a vinyl foil that’s pressed to the door using heat and vacuum.
Clear finish over melamine
These doors feature a rich high-gloss clear coating over solid colours, patterns and woodgrains. Also available in opulent metallic high gloss finishes, these products are may come with matching or complementary edge finishes.
Acrylic sheet bonded
Acrylic doors offer a high-gloss and often mirror-like premium look. They’re made from an acrylic surfaced material that is adhered to a substrate. Suitable for applications where a super high gloss look is desired.
