Elements cabinetry

Choose a surface.
Change the room.

A practical guide to gloss, supermatt, and textured cabinetry—and how to compare the surfaces 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 LUXE, SYNCRON, and ZENIT. Start with the surface effect you prefer, then explore the colors and patterns that make sense in your room.

01

Reflection

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

02

Texture

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

03

The whole palette

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

Surface Collections

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.

01

Compare the amount of reflection.

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

02

Choose where texture belongs.

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

03

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 LUXE, SYNCRON, and ZENIT differ?+
LUXE emphasizes a high-gloss mirror effect. SYNCRON offers textured surfaces, while ZENIT has a silky supermatt finish. 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.
