Piano-Lacquer MDF Smart Doors

The high-gloss surface is not ordinary paint. Doors Dublin can produce bespoke Smart Door faces from high-grade furniture-quality MDF using a controlled multi-stage preparation and lacquer process aimed at exceptional flatness, depth and reflection.

The finish starts before the colour.

High-gloss work exposes every imperfection. The substrate is therefore machined, prepared and repeatedly refined before the final lacquer layers are considered. The working sequence can include staged sanding, specialist priming, correction, colour build-up, further surface refinement and lacquer finishing. The exact workshop sequence is kept project-specific.

Furniture-grade MDF

For this design language, MDF is chosen for stability, machinability and the ability to create a controlled seamless surface. Edges, cut-outs, service provisions and frame interfaces are planned before the finishing stages so the final face remains coherent.

Colour is not the limitation

The examples show black, white, deep burgundy and navy, but bespoke colour matching can form part of the brief. What matters is the relationship between colour, gloss level, surrounding wall, lighting and frame form.

Care and maintenance

Gloss finishes should be cleaned with suitable non-abrasive methods. Periodic inspection is sensible where the door is high-use or contains integrated controls, because alignment and concealed hardware matter to both appearance and operation.
