Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between carcass material and shutter finish in a modular kitchen?
The carcass is the internal structure of your cabinet, the box itself, which holds everything together. The shutter is the outer door or drawer front that faces you. The kitchen cabinet carcass material affects durability and moisture resistance; the shutter finish affects how the kitchen looks and how it handles daily contact. Both need to be chosen carefully, not just one or the other.
What shutter finishes are available for modular kitchens?
There are quite a few. Membrane shutters are seamless, single-piece doors with foil pressed on a German membrane press, available in wood prints, concrete textures, and more. Acrylic gives a high-gloss contemporary look. Polymer is scratch-resistant and sharp. Lacquer PU paint offers three coats of Italian paint in bold, solid colours. Then there’s lacquer glass, Glix glass, Glow glass for more premium looks, and laminate for a value-conscious, good-looking finish.
What is a membrane finish in a modular kitchen?
Membrane is a shutter finish where a high-gloss or wood-print foil is pressed onto an HDF or MDF base using a German membrane press with special adhesives. The result is a seamless, edgeless door, no visible joints, no peeling edges. It’s one of the most popular finishes because it covers a wide range of textures and looks, from woodgrain to concrete, at a reasonable price point.
What is the difference between acrylic and polymer finishes in a kitchen?
Both give a glossy, contemporary look, but they are different materials. Acrylic shutters have a supergloss surface that is particularly reflective and rich-looking; the depth of colour is more pronounced. Polymer is a composite material pressed onto MDF, giving a high-gloss, scratch-resistant finish with a sharper, cleaner appearance. Acrylic tends to feel more premium visually; polymer is tougher against daily scratches.
What is lacquer PU paint finish in a modular kitchen?
Lacquer PU paint is three coats of Italian lacquer or paint applied onto a plywood or Supertuff HDF base, giving a perfectly smooth, jointless surface. It is the finish to choose if you want a specific colour, bold shades like Aqua Blue, Tangerine Orange, Persian Pink, or classic Bright White are all available. The finish is seamless, and the colour is consistent across the entire shutter.
What is the difference between lacquer glass, Glix glass, and Glow glass?
These are three different glass-based shutter finishes. Lacquer glass uses 4mm glass pasted onto a chrome-finished aluminium frame, very modern, recommended for wall units. Glix glass is 4mm glass with an aluminium frame and composite panel backing. Glow glass is 2mm glass on a Supertuff HDF base, a softer, more subtle glass look. Each has a slightly different weight, feel, and price point.
What is a laminate finish, and when should you choose it?
Laminate is a high-gloss or wood-texture sheet fixed onto a plywood or MDF base with PUR adhesive and matched edge banding. It’s the most practical, budget-friendly shutter option and comes in a genuinely wide range of looks, wood tones, solid colours, and textured finishes. If you want a good-looking kitchen that holds up well without going into premium finish pricing, laminate is a sensible choice.
What handle styles are available for Spacewood modular kitchens?
Spacewood offers three handle categories. Edge handles sit along the edge of the shutter door, clean and minimal. Concealed handles are built into the shutter profile itself, so there’s no visible hardware, which gives the kitchen a seamless handle-less look. Surface handles are mounted on the face of the shutter in more traditional or decorative styles. The choice of handle style changes the overall feel of the kitchen quite significantly.
How do I choose the right material and finish for my modular kitchen?
Start with where the kitchen is and how it’s used. High-moisture areas near the sink or hob need better waterproofing, plywood or Supertuff HDF carcass is a stronger choice there. For shutters, think about maintenance as much as looks. High-gloss acrylic and lacquer look stunning but show fingerprints more. Wood-texture membrane and laminate are more forgiving day to day.
