Choose a surface.
Change the room.

A practical guide to engineered panel finishes in gloss, supermatt, and textured wood grain, and how to compare them in your own space.

Start with how
the surface feels.

Compare reflection, texture, and color before you narrow your finish shortlist.

Explore the Finishes

Three surfaces. Different ways to live.

Elements brings together twenty-four engineered panel finishes from Egger, AGT, Lujo by Wilsonart, Cleaf, Syncron by Alvic, and Tafisa. Start with the surface effect you prefer, then explore the colors and patterns that make sense in your room.

Reflection

Compare a reflective finish with a quieter surface in the light your room receives.

Texture

Look closely at the grain or pattern, then feel a real sample before deciding.

The whole palette

Consider your cabinet surface beside the floor, countertop, and hardware.

Surface Collections

Gloss, texture, or a softer reflection.

The twenty-four Elements finishes fall into three kinds of surface. These images are a starting point; compare the actual finish samples in person.

High Gloss

Reflective solids, such as Gentle Grey 6016 HG

Textured Wood Grain

Egger Casella Oak, Syncron Ida, Lakeland Oak and more

Supermatt and Soft Touch

Low-sheen solids, such as Snow White 3012 Supramat

Look a Little Closer

Look at the surface.
Then change your angle.

Reflection is part of the design. View a sample straight on, from the side, and under the lighting you will use at home.

For texture, compare a larger area as well as a small sample. Ask to see the edge detail and how the pattern will be arranged across doors and drawers.

Plan Your Palette

Make the surface part of the plan.

You do not need to arrive with every answer. A few thoughtful comparisons are enough to start a useful design conversation.

Compare the amount of reflection.

Place gloss and matt samples together so you can see how each responds to your room’s light.

Choose where texture belongs.

Decide whether a textured finish will lead the room or add contrast to quieter cabinetry.

Consider the touchpoints.

Compare handles, edges, and the feel of each surface before approving your selection.

Before You Decide

Elements questions, answered.

A few useful details before you turn a favorite finish into a plan.

How do the Elements surfaces differ?+

High-gloss panels reflect light and brighten a room. Textured wood grains, such as Egger’s Casella Oak or Syncron’s Ida, add depth you can feel. Supermatt and soft-touch solids, such as Snow White 3012 Supramat or New Gray 729 Soft Touch, have a quiet, low-sheen surface. Compare samples to see and feel the differences.

Are all Elements finishes solid colors?+

No. Along with solid colors, Elements includes wood-look and textured surfaces. Compare the samples to see the full range of colors and patterns before you choose.

Can I combine more than one surface?+

Yes. Pairing a gloss run with a matte or wood-look surface, or giving an island its own finish, is a common way to add contrast. Your designer can show you which combinations work well together.

How do I look after the finish?+

Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and a little mild soap, then dry it. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh or solvent-based cleaners, which can dull a gloss surface or mark a matte one.
