What are the Features of High-Gloss Front Panels?

High-gloss front panels are made by laminating glossy foils of various thicknesses onto melamine faced MDF. Through their shiny surfaces, which create light reflections, these front panels give a sense of depth. They are suitable for modern, minimalist, or industrial styles, providing unique interior designs. The deep color effect of high-gloss front panels also makes spaces appear larger and more open. Yıldız Entegre’s High Gloss Front Panel Collection has minimal surface waviness and offers a rich variety of colors and patterns.

How Durable are Acrylic Front Panels?

Acrylic front panels are produced by adding glossy or matt acrylic foil to raw melamine faced MDF. Known for their durability, these front panels withstand the adverse effects of time. Acrylic front panels, which have an almost mirror-like finish, maintain their color tones over time. They are easy to clean and hygienic, offering high color stability and brightness. Acrylic front panels also eliminate the problem of fingerprints, which is a common issue in kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Their smooth surface prevents liquid and solid substances from seeping into the surface, reducing stain formation. Because they are resistant to harmful UV rays, they can be used for many years without losing their color.

Yıldız Entegre’s Luxury Acrylic Front Panel Collection, which brings a striking aesthetic to designs, creates a more airy ambiance in spaces due to its surface brightness and deep color effect. Minimal surface waviness is another advantage.
