Brand: Zenit

Question 1

What is the Metal Plus collection?

Accepted Answer

Metal Plus is Zenit's metallic-forward line — panels where the metallic finish is the primary design element, not a subtle addition. The range includes gold, titanium, and copper tones.

Question 2

Is Metal Plus Light Gold too bold for a kitchen?

Accepted Answer

As an accent element — feature panels, open shelving backs, hood surrounds — Light Gold adds luxury without overwhelming. It is not typically used as a full kitchen finish but rather as a complement to solid Zenit colors.

Question 3

What solid colors pair with Light Gold?

Accepted Answer

Blanco, Cashmere, and Antracita all pair beautifully with Light Gold. The warm metallic tone works especially well with warm neutrals and dark contrasts.

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.
