Albico Kitchen Aprons

Modern kitchen is not only a cooking and eating area, but also an important designer component of any apartment, and Albico kitchen aprons can become a harmonious addition to it - a unique domestic development, the creation of which involved consultants and engineers from several European countries.

Why do you need an apron for the kitchen? The fact is that the non-working area behind the sink, as well as behind the stove and other components of the kitchen is a special risk zone, where every day there are huge amounts of fat drops from hot pans, water and food residues. If expensive wallpaper or fragile panels are on the walls, then the duty of any owner is to protect them, for which kitchen aprons were invented.

They are a panel of MDF or HDF with the so-called high-gloss printing - a modern method of applying a decorative pattern that has a whole set of characteristics. And before you go to the store, it is worth getting acquainted with what we are dealing with.

Reading numerous reviews of apron panels, one can single out a number of advantages that put this decorative and at the same time practical element on the special place of any kitchen.

Among such points are underlined:

• Affordable price;
• High durability and scratch resistance;
• Water repellent and neutral to detergents;
• Durability;
• Heat resistance and fire safety;
• Lack of burning out from direct sunshine;
• Eco-friendly materials;
• A variety of colors and patterns (as well as the ability to order your own image);
• The possibility of selecting individual sizes based on the room;
• Easy to install.

Separately, you need to talk about what stages of production the panel goes through before it gets its attractive and bright presentation. Before the decorated apron gets on the store shelves, the same MDF board with a thickness of 3, 4 or 6 mm is made.

The complicated process of pressing chopped coniferous wood, thanks to modern technology, has long been put on the conveyor, and drying with a primer under a varnish takes a few minutes.After that, the workpiece is cooled for 25 minutes and only then goes to the workshop for drawing a picture.

Albico kitchen apron, as well as other company products, is decorated using Hot Coating technology. The scanned image is applied on a pre-fixed adhesive layer with intermediate ultraviolet processing. There are 14 such layers in total, and each subsequent one is “baked” in the previous one, creating a corporate “three-dimensional” pattern, as if hidden inside.

As already mentioned, there are no special requirements for the installation of kitchen aprons, there is also no need for any specialized tools, all the necessary parts can be purchased with the panels themselves.

The accompanying fittings will be the connecting plate. It is selected on the basis of the nuances of a single kitchen unit. Be sure to lower mounting to the tabletop, the form of "Christmas tree" is needed for fixing under the hanging cabinets, and the remaining strips for secure mounting on the wall - on wallpaper, plaster or panels.

The total installation time takes less than an hour. There is no “construction” garbage left,and long cleaning of the room after all is not expected.

Answering shortly - all. A variety of ready-made images will help to perfectly complement the kitchen with a decorative element that can fit into the overall color scheme or, on the contrary, to contrast, forming a bright spot.

Night views of the skyscrapers of New York will surely attract the attention of men and creative people, and the refined girls will enjoy the streets of Paris stylized as watercolor landscapes. New items are constantly updated with stock photos - coffee, spices, ice cubes - and other modern still lifes, which are considered to be the perfect kitchen pattern.

The question of cleaning for owners living in the rhythm of the modern city is also not left without close attention. The glossy surface is very easily and quickly wiped, while acting as a strong shield - no spoon or other small kitchen utensils will fall down for it, and you will not have to move heavy tables away.

So what do buyers say about Albico kitchen aprons, besides confirming the manufacturer’s specifications? Opinions in the majority converge on a practicality, usability and simplicity of installation.

Comparing panels from other materials, for example, from glass, people note the advantage of MDF: they are lighter, stronger and cheaper. Even the most expensive glass remains very capricious in terms of care material, not to mention the fact that solid weight adds an extra burden on the wall.

Plastic panels are definitely losing Albico aprons because of their low resistance to temperature, which is an absolutely critical indicator for the kitchen, because of which more and more people prefer MDF panels.

Many consumers emphasize that the same apron pattern can be perfectly combined with different styles - from airy Provence to modern eclecticism with high-tech elements.

For owners of budget kitchen suites an apron panel often becomes ennoblingaddition - the furniture immediately begins to look more expensive with minimal financial investments.
