Glossy cabinets

The choice of furniture is always a crucial step, because the practicality and appearance of the interior depend on it. The final decision is influenced by many factors: design, size, capacity, materials of manufacture and price. All this should be taken into account especially carefully if a cabinet with a glossy surface is selected, because the facade is one of the main characteristics.

The quality of glossy cabinets depends entirely on what material is used for the facades. The coating can be plastic, film, paint, acrylic and varnish.

• Plastic surface Is an economical option that is resistant to mild detergents and temperature changes.

• If used as a coating for glossy surfaces film, then the product itself will have a low cost. The film is easy to wash, but it absolutely does not tolerate high humidity and high temperature, since these factors can cause it to peel off.
• The most expensive gloss finish is paint or varnish... If any minor damage appears on the lacquered cabinet, it is easy to fix it. But with improper use, chips are formed that cannot be hidden. The price for paintwork is the highest, which invariably affects the cost of the product itself.

Any glossy surface requires special care. It is not enough to wipe it down with a dry cloth, as this creates a static charge and attracts dust.

The most expensive are painted facades, since labor-intensive staining technology is used for their manufacture, which makes it possible to cover the entire product, including the ends, in order to exclude moisture from entering. Glossy furniture can have straight and radius facades, which are based on moisture-resistant MDF boards.

Acrylic, which has high performance characteristics, is considered a particularly reliable coating. Acrylic facades consist of MDF boards and a plastic layer, bonded with polyurethane glue. They can be painted in any rich color that will not fade when exposed to sunlight.

Glossy cabinets have a lot of advantages that make them popular for a wide range of applications.

Their most important advantage is their spectacular and aesthetic appearance. Facades with gloss look luxurious, which undoubtedly attracts attention.

Such facades can have different color schemes, which helps to create a unique interior design and soften the influence of rough features.

It should be noted that the glossy surface is easy to care for. The main thing is not to use a dry cloth for this, which electrifies the product.

Despite the many positive qualities, gloss has and negative sides:

• Such a surface is prone to rapid contamination. Fingerprints or splashes of water easily remain on it. This can be avoided by purchasing a cabinet with a speckled finish or a dark front.
• It can easily get scratches and other damage that cannot be repaired at home.
• It requires frequent maintenance. At least twice a day, the cabinet will have to be wiped with a special cleaner.
• Conventional detergents are not suitable for cleaning glossy facades, so it is important to use specialized solutions.

Installing glossy cabinets in a room with glossy ceilings is a bad decision. Gloss looks decent in combination with matte frame and cool shades. An interesting solution is furniture in which one half has a glossy surface and the other does not.

A combination of gloss and variegated patterns, as well as protrusions on the texture, will look quite unusual.

This type of furniture will favorably emphasize the design only if there is no excess of reflective surfaces in the space. Glossy smooth facades are perfectly combined with natural stones and solid wood. Particular beauty can be achieved with glass inserts.

Reflective front cabinets can look different if you use different colors. So, white furniture will visually increase the space, especially if you install it in a small room. White looks great in any style, from classic to modern. In addition, it can be combined with wood, glass and other inserts.

The beige color is intended to create a calm and cozy atmosphere in the home. And thanks to the variety of shades, it can be used together with other colors.

An unusual color such as black is essential to add uniqueness. It is easy to combine it with different colors, even if they have variegated shades.

In addition to the primary colors, reds, greens and yellows are popular. Red invigorates and makes you act, green immerses you in a calm and peaceful atmosphere, and yellow dilutes the calm interior with its liveliness.

There are many types of cabinets, with different shapes, designs, sizes, opening method and purpose. For example, hull structures are large and large enough. All the necessary clothes, shoes and other accessories can be folded in them.

• The most economical solution is built-in model... It is designed for a specific place and will not take up a single extra meter. But it cannot be moved from place to place after installation, which is some disadvantage.
• Very convenient and economical corner cupboard, which is distinguished by its large capacity and small dimensions.

• Swing structures take up a lot of space, therefore they must be installed in large rooms. They will highlight the classic bedroom well, and the gloss will add sophistication to it.
• Sliding gGlossy models are originally intended for installation in small rooms that need to save usable space. They are best chosen in a dark hallway or small living room. Cabinets with sliding doors are easy to use and do not interfere with free movement at all.
• Hinged cabinets are more for storing kitchen utensils than clothes.

Each type of glossy surface has certain differences, and therefore they must be cared for in different ways.

To clean a product with a plastic gloss, you need to use only very mild detergents that contain a minimum of chemicals. Otherwise, it will tarnish. Alternatively, you can use a laundry soap solution that will not damage the fragile surface in any way.

To clean the lacquered facade, it is necessary to resort to specialized products. You can limit yourself to glass cleaner or soapy water. The main thing is to wipe the furniture dry so that there are no streaks on it.

Before processing cabinets, it is necessary to dilute concentrated preparations for cleaning glossy furniture. It would be nice to use a special wax or paste, which was originally intended for the care of pieces of furniture. But it is impossible to process wood with wax: under its influence, the wood will tarnish and will attract dust and dirt more strongly.

You can not resort to strong concentrated products that contain alcohol or chlorine additives. They will inevitably lead to gloss fading.
