Question 1

Is Magnolia noticeably different from Blanco?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Magnolia has a visible warm cream undertone that Blanco lacks. In high gloss, the difference is clear: Blanco is clean and neutral, Magnolia is warm and golden. The choice depends on your overall palette temperature.

Question 2

Does Magnolia work in a contemporary kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Magnolia in high gloss bridges contemporary and traditional. The warm tone softens the modernity of the mirror finish, making it suitable for transitional kitchens that blend modern surfaces with classic proportions.

Question 3

Will Magnolia look yellow?

Accepted Answer

Magnolia reads as warm cream, not yellow. In cool lighting (north-facing kitchens, LED daylight bulbs), it may appear slightly warmer. In warm lighting, it glows beautifully. If you prefer no warmth at all, choose Blanco or Blanco Polar.

Question 4

What panel sizes does Luxe offer?

Accepted Answer

Luxe panels by Alvic are available in 1220 × 2750mm (48" × 108¼") format at 19mm (¾") thickness. Panels are single-sided with a UV-cured lacquered finish face and a color-matched backing sheet. This oversized format (taller than standard 8' panels) accommodates full-height European-style cabinetry without horizontal seams.

Question 5

What edge banding options are available for Luxe panels?

Accepted Answer

Luxe panels pair with color-matched ABS edgebanding: 1mm × 23mm in high-gloss finish to match the panel surface. 0.4mm × 23mm pre-glued for small runs. PUR-sealed edges are recommended for high-gloss panels to achieve a seamless appearance. Alvic LaserEdge technology is also compatible for zero-joint edgebanding.

Question 6

Are Luxe panels suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Luxe panels are designed for kitchen cabinet fronts, islands, and tall units. The high-gloss mirror finish creates a dramatic, light-reflecting kitchen. Protective film should remain during fabrication and be removed after installation. Panels are not rated for direct heat contact. Edges should be sealed to protect the MDF core.

Question 7

How do I clean and maintain Luxe panels?

Accepted Answer

High-gloss surfaces: wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. For best results, use a microfiber cloth to avoid micro-scratches. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and circular wiping motions. Never use acetone, bleach, or abrasive cleaners. Do not place hot items on the surface.

Question 8

What certifications do Luxe panels carry?

Accepted Answer

Luxe panels by Alvic are E1 compliant per EN 717-1, CARB Phase 2 compliant, and CE certified. Manufactured in Spain by Alvic, one of Europe's largest lacquered panel producers. Alvic operates with ISO 14001 environmental management and ISO 9001 quality management certifications. The company produces over 20 million square meters of lacquered panels annually.
