The increased prominence of texture as a key design element in tandem with the enhanced reproduction quality, has led to growth in the use of Melamine Faced Chipboard as frontals.

With contemporary design furniture, consumers are increasingly looking for sleek ‘slab’ styles where the colour or grain pattern in combination with the texture does not require shape as a third dimension, such as a shaker style door. 

“We are seeing more and more companies manufacture their own doors from MFC, especially since the introduction of a number of eye-catching designs over the past 2 years. There is also a growing trend to mix and match uni colours with woodgrains for door frontals. This trend has been particularly prominent in the kitchen market” explains Andrew Sanderson, EGGER’s Product Marketing Manager.

Within kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and office spaces they are becoming a winning formula. The main reason behind its success is that it offers a premium look for an entry level price, something the German and Italian kitchen manufacturers have been doing so well for years. This allows furniture manufacturers to potentially increase their sales margins in a challenging market.
