What are acrylic and MDF?

Acrylic

Chipboard or MDF with an acrylic coating. It has a very deep gloss. The material is well suited for rooms with high humidity – kitchens and bathrooms.

Acrylic resists small scratches but does not tolerate abrasive cleaning. Use a soft cloth to clean it.

  • A glossy surface makes the room look bigger
  • Long-lasting and durable
  • High mechanical, chemical and heat resistance
  • A high-gloss surface needs more frequent and gentler care
  • Fingerprints, grease and water marks are visible
  • One of the most expensive materials

Painted MDF

MDF is a wood fiber board pressed under high pressure. The MDF surface is painted with special paints and lacquered if needed. MDF can be used to make curved parts and fronts with a milled pattern.
