Laquer

Lacquer is medium density fibreboard panel entirely finished with a polyester paint and a polyurethane top coat that create a total and homogenous surface.

Glossy lacquer

Polished to reflect light like a mirror and brighten any space.

Matt lacquer

The elegance of this non-glossy colour finish is timeless and often used to introduce movement by introducing colour in wood kitchens.

Metal effect lacquer

This surface lacquer, containing particles of real metals, is hand scratched and successively protected by a transparent top coat to obtain a metallic look, one of the latest trends in the furnishing industry; Doimo Cucine, for example, proposes metal effect lacquers in iridium, brass, copper and titanium.

Metallized lacquer

The door panel is sprayed with a metallic paint that creates a resistant finish. Doimo Cucine, for example, offers four options in pink gold, gold, zinc and nickel.

Satin lacquer

Polyester support painted with a polyurethane based coat finish on edges and surfaces. Front face finished in acrylic paint containing metallic components, brushed to obtain a satin finish, with a matt lacquer finish on the interior face.

Crossed lacquer

Lines etched into the surface of the edges and external face trace the precise patterns of a fabric, finished with a layer of pearlescent acrylic paint; the inner face is honed and treated with matt metallic paint in the same colour.

EvoSilk lacquer

This exceptionally matt lacquer is created using excimer technology and drying under UV lamps. The result is a highly compact surface: more resistant than other lacquers and capable of absorbing light, a quality that emphasises its matt finish and gives it a soft-touch.

Lacquer is used in the kitchen industry primarily for fronts, shelves and panels.
Lacquer finishes are:

• stain resistant when cleaned immediately
• available in numerous colours
• subject to colour variations when over exposed to direct natural sunlight, an issue that is extremely reduced when using EvoSilk
• prone to a loss in brilliance in glossy and metallic finishes or, on the contrary, to the acquisition of brightness in matt and EvoSilk finishes when rubbed excessively during cleaning
• applied to raw panels with minimum formaldehyde emissions (class E1, UNI EN 13986/2005)
• in the case of EvoSilk, more resistant than other types of lacquer and characterised by a surface that feels soft to the touch

Lacquered fronts should be cleaned using a soft damp cloth, rinsed and dried carefully. Stains should be removed quickly to ensure they do not penetrate into the layers of lacquer which can cause permanent halos. Only glossy lacquers can be cleaned using a cloth and glass cleaners or neutral soap; in all cases, we recommend testing new products on inner surfaces before cleaning exposed surfaces. When lacquer is used for horizontal surfaces, such as shelves, always place trivets under hot objects.

Avoid the use of:

• abrasive sponges
• scouring pads
• abrasive products
• powder detersives
• acetone
• trichloroethylene
• ammonia
• alcohol or alcohol based products
