Why use Vacuum Pressed wrap doors instead of other options?
Wrap doors is the only budget option for moulded (with a design on the face or side) doors and panels, except for solid wood which is expensive. Advantages of wrap doors:
• Wrap doors are modern, stylish and practical used internationally by interior designers, architects and contractors to achieve excellence and express beauty and taste in homes all over the world.
• The quality and density of MDF/supawood used to manufacture wrap doors is much higher than that of cut-and-edge Melamine (made of chipboard) boards which also makes it ideal for areas with high humidity for example at the coast.
• Wrap Doors designs choices; one of the biggest benefits of vinyl wrap doors is the fact that there are so many designs available. The MDF/supawood panels that the vinyl is bonded to, can be cut into a large number of profiles, from simple flat doors through to doors with ornamental deep routing/profiling.
• More colour choices: Wrapped MDF has a huge variety of colours +-400 compared to the 50/60 in melamine/chipboard available in South Africa. The vinyl comes in a large range of colours including solid- and wood grain colours with smooth, textured, embossed, satin and gloss finishes. In some cases, you’d have trouble telling a vinyl wrap door apart from a painted door! What this means is that you can choose a vinyl wrap door to suit any style kitchen and in any colour that you want, practically.
• Wrap Doors are Durable and Low Maintenance: Another reason why wrap doors are such a great choice for the kitchen is the fact that they are both durable, low maintenance and easy to clean, which is what you want of any materials that you use in such a high traffic area. Vinyl wrap doors are more scratch and chip resistant than painted doors. They also seal out moisture in normal use applications, so you don’t have to worry about the doors warping or swelling. Vinyl wrap doors need nearly no maintenance at all – just wipe them clean and check the hinges occasionally. They never need to be repainted or anything like that.
• Wrap Doors are Easy to Clean: Another benefit of vinyl wrap doors is the fact that they are so easy to clean. All you need to do is to give them a wipe with a soft sponge and some soapy water, and then dry them off afterwards. There is no need to use heavy or harsh cleaners at all – in fact, doing so may actually damage the door! If you have stubborn stains or marks that won’t come off with the soapy water, just gently wipe these off using diluted methylated spirits.
• Hygiene and looks; unlike cut-and-edged slab or panel doors, Wrap doors does not have a glue line on the front edge because it is wrapped around the sides, making it more practical in areas where hygiene is important. Unlike the cheaper melamine/chipboard slab type doors where edging on the sides leave micro gaps on the edges where dirt, grime and germs can accumulate.
• Design freedom; available in various thicknesses (12mm, 16mm, 19mm, 22mm and even 30mm) which makes it ideal for a wide range of applications.
• Decorative and finishing products on offer; a large range of shaped/moulded decorative doors, faces, CNC panels, cabinet cornices, lightshields and filler panels/strips available to beautify and finish cabinetry installations.

Can I re-wrap (re-surface) my existing cupboard doors or panels
Our 3D foiling process allows us to only wrap flat furniture/cabinet components, not assembled cupboards or furniture.
Re-wrapping or the restoration of existing doors/panels is not worthwhile due to the increased logistics and labour costs. Re-wrapping invariably delivers poor results for the following reasons;
- Old doors have to be re-heated to 110 degrees C in order to re-activate the glue and tear-off/remove the old foil, this leads to damaged doors that probably will deform and buckle or bend.
- More time is spend finishing/sanding the old doors, trying to create a clean smooth surface. We very seldom, if ever, get the old "rubbery" glue off successfully. In cases where you get de-lamination on old doors, it was sub-standard glue to start off with, to try and save a bad job is just not worth it!
- Results or quality cannot be guaranteed due to probable damage to the supawood when tearing off the old foil.
The only sensible options left are:
- To have the old doors painted
- Replacement, in which case we can quote for the manufacture of new wrap doors. Most customers are pleasantly surprised at the price of new doors, where the quality and workmanship is guaranteed. All that we require are the sizes, colour and Design/pattern to quote.
What is a wrapped door or panel?
A wrap part (door, panel etc.) is made of Supawood that is covered with pvc sheet that comes in a huge variety of colours. How is it made?
• We cut and shape/CNC router MDF to our customer’s size and design specification.
• The parts are then sanded and finished
• Heat activated glue is then sprayed onto the surfaces where the foil must be wrapped onto
• The glue is left to dry. Once dry it is sanded again to get a smooth finish
• The doors are packed alongside each other in a vacuum press. We then cover the doors with the required foil. The press heats up the foil and glue, after which we apply vacuum to pull/suck the foil snugly onto and over the doors and into the pattern profiles. Similar to covering something snugly with a blanket.
• The doors are then trimmed, washed and packed, ready for shipping and installation.

Wrap Doors and Melamine Board Matching
The decision to match is generally driven by budget, door style/design and colour. When matching Wrap doors with Melamine exposed panels it is important to understand some of the differences between, and the characteristics of, Wrap and Melamine. A Wrap door, panel or decorative item is manufactured from Supawood/MDF that is covered with pvc foil during a high pressure process. Wrap comes in a large variety of designs and many more colours than melamine board. Melamine on the other hand is chipboard covered with an overlay, made from a combination of wood pulp and fibres impregnated with a formaldehyde resin for durability, applied during a low pressure process. Melamine is only available as flat material in a single flat sheet design. These materials are therefore not the same although there are some very good matches in colour and texture.
• first of all determine whether there is a match in melamine for the wrap colour that you have in mind.
• If there is a match, ensure that you physically compare samples of both materials right next to each other to determine whether you are happy with the match. Photos can be deceiving due to camera quality, lighting conditions, screen resolution etc.
• Use photo’s only as a reference and as a final decision tool.
• if there is no match, order exposed panels from your wrap supplier.
Additions and Alterations to Existing Cabinetry
PVC foil used on our kitchen wrap doors may exhibit slight colour variations when ordering additions and/or extras, at different points in time, due to:
• the natural ageing process
• slight differences in foil batches that were manufactured at different times
• it is imperative to let us know when orders are additions to previous orders and/or existing cabinetry, so that we can try our utmost to match the foil batches as best we can. Matching depends on the availability of stock, from specific batches, from our suppliers.
*PLEASE NOTE*
While we strive to maintain consistency, these variations are sometimes unavoidable and do not affect the quality, performance, functionality or aesthetic appeal of the doors.

How to do a quick kitchen revamp or re-face at a fraction of replacement cost?
Reface rather than Replace. Replacing the cupboard doors and draw fronts will have an enormous impact on your kitchen’s look and feel. Quite often the kitchen cupboards (carcasses) themselves are in good condition and don’t need to be replaced, but the doors are tired, worn or outdated. Simply getting new doors and exposed panels for your kitchen cabinets is an inexpensive way to freshen up and revamp your kitchen for a completely new look. If you keep to a colour roughly the same as your existing kitchen you don’t even have to worry about the existing edging or exposed panels. Some customers opt to go for a modern mixed colour look.
Simply follow these steps:
• Choose the door design you like
• Choose the colour/wood effect you like
• Measure your doors and draw fronts
• Measure your exposed panels if required
• Send us an email that includes your sizes and we will quote you on a new set of doors which is ready to fit.
Your kitchen will look fresh and renewed with little cost and low effort.
How to clean and take care of Wrapped Doors
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care of Wrapped Cupboard doors
• Cleaning and general care
- Wipe with mild dishwashing soap. Avoid pouring water onto the doors, and the use of excessively wet cloths
- Wipe cooking splashes immediately, they are easier to clean when wet
- Use soft lint free cloth or soft sponge to clean and wipe dry
- DO NOT use steel wool, sand paper, abrasive sponges, commercial cleaning materials, scouring pads
- DO NOT apply or clean with any Acids or Ammonia based products.
- DO NOT use thinners, turps/turpentine, petrol, alcohol, bleach, acetone or furniture oils
• Keep excessive heat away from doors, panels and edging:
- Pull high heat items like your toaster or kettle out from under wall cupboards when in use
- Turn your kettle around so that steam projects away from cabinets
- If you have cupboards installed directly above the stove, always install a cooker hood / extractor
• Keep doors away from excessive moisture/ standing water
- Wipe water or liquid spills off the surface of the doors immediately
- Never allow the doors to be immersed or in direct contact with standing water/liquid
- Frequently check for water leakages in sink and vanity cupboards
• Avoid striking the doors with heavy or sharp objects
• Keep door knobs, handles and drawer runners securely fastened
• Check the hinges are properly installed, fully engaged and clipped in
- Over time hinges and screws can work loose, take the time to tighten up the screws if you notice they are getting loose. Consider checking the fittings every 6 months.
- When screws are loosely fitted they easily tear out damaging the cabinet and door.
• Children (And Adults) climbing or leaning on doors or handles will damage and break the doors and fittings. Draws, Doors and Door handles and knobs are not steps for climbing up.
• Always close draws and doors when not in use. Walking into a door or over-extending the doors may lead to injury to persons and damage of the hinges and doors
• Never force a door to open further than the hinges would allow.
• Avoid slamming doors and draws. Avoid leaving doors and draws open in windy areas.
Which is better for Kitchen Cupboard doors, MDF (Supawood) or Melamine (Chipboard)?
These two most commonly used materials in cabinetry door and panel design each have their important place in cupboard and kitchen design, however when design freedom, attractive style, practicality, quality and cost are important the following needs to be considered:
• Classy and attractive Designs; MDF or supawood can be routered, carved and machined and therefore offers a large variety of attractive designs for doors, panels and decorative and finishing mouldings, only equalled by solid wood. Melamine (chipboard covered with an overlay) cannot offer this versatility and is only available in flat doors and panels with edging that leaves a glue line on the sides/edges.
• MDF or supawood is available in various thicknesses as opposed to melamine’s 16mm. MDF or supawood can be painted or wrapped and is more moisture resistant, dense and therefore more durable and of better quality. In fact architects and interior designers prefer MDF or supawood at the coastal areas where humidity is high.
• MDF doors are fractionally more expensive than Melamine/chipboard. Melamine is mainly used as carcass material and cheap contractors slab doors, ideal for budget complex developments where low cost is the highest priority.

What is a vinyl wrapped door (3D Thermofoiled cupboard door)?
• A vinyl wrap door is one where the door is made up of an MDF panel that has been cut, routed and profiled as desired and then glued and covered with a vinyl form that is pressed to the door using heat and vacuum. The back of the door is usually pre-laminated.
• This process is not similar or comparable to car wrapping.
• Most cupboard doors you encounter in homes across Southern Africa will be either chipboard with melamine or wrapped Supawood/MDF doors.
• This process can only be applied to doors and panels, not existing cabinets.
• CNC cutting of doors, panels and cabinetry related finishing products
• Doors, panels, lightscreens, scotias/ cornices.

What Kills Kitchens and Cabinetry?
Please comply to the following advice to prevent serious damage by water/heat to your kitchen or built-in units:
*WATER
• Insist that your tiler/sub-contractor seals between the workstops and tiles with silicone (NOT GROUT).
• Water spillage on worktops, floors and inside cupboards must be dried immediately to prevent absorption (ESPECIALLY IN THE SINK AREA). When spillage occurs that run down the doors, dry the bottom of the doors and underside of the worktop immediately.
*HEAT
• Toasters and fryers placed under wall units will cause damage to doors, lightscreens/shields and other cupboards, move these to the front of the worktop or under an extraction unit to allow heat to dissipate.
• Kettles must not be used under wall units as heat and steam will damage the product, face the spout outwards from the wall
*PLEASE NOTE
