Kitchen materials in Mauritius
Materials affect the appearance, care and durability of a kitchen. In Mauritius, heat and humidity also need to be considered. Cuisine Habitat combines moisture-resistant compressed wood panels with selected ALVIC finishes to create cabinetry suited to everyday use.
What are our kitchen cabinets made from?
Our cabinets are made from moisture-resistant compressed wood panels. Unlike a standard board, this substrate is designed to withstand humid conditions more effectively. This is particularly relevant in a kitchen and in the Mauritian climate. Good care remains essential: leaks or standing water should be addressed promptly, and the room should be properly ventilated.
LUXE for a high-gloss finish
LUXE technology provides a high-gloss lacquered surface with a mirror effect. It reflects light and suits contemporary kitchens that call for a bright, clean appearance.
ZENIT for a super-matt look
ZENIT is known for its super-matt lacquered finish and silky feel. Depending on the selected reference, the technology offers surface properties developed for demanding furniture applications, including good resistance and easy care. Exact characteristics should be checked against the technical sheet for the chosen finish.
SYNCRON for a textured effect
SYNCRON offers textured surfaces that realistically recreate the appearance of wood, stone and other materials. It can bring a more natural or warm character to the room while retaining a practical furniture surface.
How to select your finish
The right choice depends on the atmosphere you want, the available light and how you use the kitchen. A gloss finish can increase the sense of light. Super-matt creates an understated contemporary look. Wood or stone textures add visual depth. Compare samples in the actual light of your home and consider your cleaning routine before deciding.
