Brand: Zenit
SKU: ZNT-GRISPLOMO

Question 1

How dark is Gris Plomo?

Accepted Answer

Gris Plomo is a true medium grey — darker than Gris Nube and Gris Perla, but distinctly lighter than Antracita. It sits at the midpoint of the grey scale, with an industrial-leaning character.

Question 2

Does Gris Plomo work in a two-tone kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Exceptionally well. Gris Plomo on lower cabinets or the island paired with Blanco or Cashmere on uppers is a classic contemporary European combination.

Question 3

Is Gris Plomo too dark for a small kitchen?

Accepted Answer

For a full kitchen in a small space, Gris Plomo can feel heavy. However, as a lower-cabinet or island accent paired with lighter uppers, it adds depth and character without closing the space in.

Question 4

What panel sizes does Zenit offer?

Accepted Answer

Zenit panels by Alvic are available in 1220 × 2750mm (48" × 108¼") format at 19mm (¾") thickness. Panels are single-sided with a supermatte anti-fingerprint lacquer finish and color-matched backing. The oversized height (taller than standard 8' panels) allows full-height European cabinetry without horizontal seams in tall pantry and wardrobe units.

Question 5

What edge banding options are available for Zenit panels?

Accepted Answer

Zenit panels pair with supermatte color-matched ABS edgebanding: 1mm × 23mm texture-matched for production edgebanders. 0.4mm × 23mm pre-glued for iron-on application. The edgebanding matches the panel's anti-fingerprint supermatte texture. PUR glue is recommended for a seamless zero-joint appearance. Alvic LaserEdge technology is also compatible.

Question 6

Are Zenit panels suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Zenit supermatte panels are specifically designed for kitchen applications. The anti-fingerprint surface is a major practical advantage — fingerprints and smudges don't show, even on dark colors that would reveal every touch in a gloss finish. The thermal self-healing property means light surface scratches can disappear with gentle warmth. Panels are not rated for direct hot-pan contact. Edges should be sealed to protect the MDF core from moisture.

Question 7

How do I clean and maintain Zenit panels?

Accepted Answer

Daily cleaning: wipe with a soft damp microfiber cloth and mild detergent. The anti-fingerprint surface resists smudges, but any marks clean easily. For stubborn stains, use diluted isopropyl alcohol on a soft cloth. Light micro-scratches may self-heal — place a warm (not hot) damp cloth on the area for 30 seconds. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, acetone, and bleach. Do not use steam cleaners. Dry after cleaning.

Question 8

What certifications do Zenit panels carry?

Accepted Answer

Zenit panels by Alvic are E1 compliant per EN 717-1, CARB Phase 2 compliant, and CE certified. Manufactured in Alcaudete, Spain by Alvic — one of Europe's largest producers of lacquered and supermatte panels. Alvic holds ISO 14001 (environmental) and ISO 9001 (quality) certifications. The supermatte anti-fingerprint technology is Alvic's proprietary development, refined over 20+ years of lacquered panel manufacturing.
