German kitchens are known for their quality and durability. A big part of that is due to the use of UV lacquered fronts. This type of front is made by coating a wood-based panel several times with UV paint and then hardening it with a special, high-energy UV light. This creates a very hard and durable surface that is easy to clean. The all-round thick plastic edge protects the edges from damage. This makes German kitchens a great choice for households with children or for kitchens that get a lot of use.
