As their name suggests, high gloss kitchen doors are distinguished by, a highly glossy shiny surface. They effect a stylish, clean and modern kitchen appearance, whilst a range of colour and finish options ensure that your high gloss kitchen can be tailored to your exact taste and specification. Yet far more than their beautiful kitchen look, high gloss kitchen finishes have many other benefits to offer, including:

Its light reflective quality represents the defining characteristic of a gloss kitchen finish, and influences how a kitchen looks and feels. Reflected light will frequently make a space feel light and bright for an inviting and uplifting kitchen atmosphere. At the same time light reflected off a gloss kitchen door can also make a room feel more spacious. This latter occurrence is of particular note for small kitchen designs where space maximising is an essential part of the planning process. Gloss is an optical property of a material, a measurement of its ability to reflect light. This is determined by the shape and contours of the material surface, as well as the colour of the surface.

Smooth surfaces reflect more light, and do so more consistently than uneven surfaces.

High gloss is achieved by repeatedly spraying a high gloss coloured lacquer to a door. The lacquer dries by solvent evaporation to create an extremely hard wearing and durable finish. Repeated coats produce a noticeable depth of colour, and the use of progressively finer coats produces an extremely smooth glossy surface finish.
When considering gloss finishes, it is important to note that the reflective quality is of greater importance when choosing darker colours. Certain finishes may show an “orange peel” effect within darker colours on doors and work surfaces will highlight surface marks more easily that wouldn’t be so evident on lighter colours. Lacquered surfaces are durable and rarely show scratches and other signs of daily wear and tear.

High Gloss kitchen doors are the pinnacle of modern interior design. Their highly reflective finish and mirror like shine provide an ultra-modern style that is unmatched.
