Product Description

Ultraglaze acrylic panels are intended for use in residential or commercial cabinetry such as in kitchens, bathrooms and for other vertical joinery applications.   They offer the highest level of scratch and chemical resistance available and impressive durability.

Matt Ultraglaze panels have a colour palette chosen to complement other finishes such as woodgrains, stones and concretes.   High-gloss Ultraglaze colours produce a glass-like mirror finish without the imperfections or reflection distortions associated with other finishes such as high-gloss lacquer or gloss coatings.   Easy to clean, and less prone to smudges and marks from fingerprints they come with a 10 year warranty.   Options include a premium face/premium back, a premium face/standard back or an affordable standard face/melamine back.

Installation and Maintenance

Direct sunlight should be avoided on all veneer surfaces as fading, bleaching, colour changes and damage to the surface coating may occur.

Consideration should be given to protective UV films or glazing and blinds in high sunlight situations.
