Parapan®, the kitchen designers' favourite high gloss acrylic - with a splash of colour.

Parapan®, the kitchen designers favouriteRobert Timmons is one of a number of kitchen designers who regard Parapan® as their material of choice when specifying high gloss acrylic for kitchen doors and cupboards.

Says Timmons: “I prefer Parapan® because it is solid colour all the way through and doesn’t fade when it is exposed to sunlight. If, by any unlikely chance it chips, Parapan® can be rubbed down and polished out unlike lacquers.  I like its versatility too, especially the fact that you can thermoform it into curves for doors and drawers and machine it like hardwood”

As kitchens become more and more part of multifunctional spaces, design has evolved so that cupboards and drawers fade into the background and link seamlessly with living and dining furniture. Here finger pulls have been used to create a minimalist streamlined modern look. 

Bright white gloss remains the dominant kitchen trend but is taken in a new and exciting direction with the introduction of accents in exotic colours.  For those looking for more individuality Parapan® comes in 19 other up to the minute colours from hot vivid brights to sophisticated neutrals.
