Which kitchen surfaces can I protect?

Specifically the surfaces that take a lot and are suitable for it – not every surface in a kitchen. Each surface is its own cut in its dimensions.

Main application

Kitchen fronts

The main application: cabinet and drawer fronts that are touched every day. On smooth, coated or painted fronts the film lies flat and changes neither colour nor texture.

One rectangle per front: width × height at the outer edge.

Single front, several fronts, front with handle or rounded corners – you measure exactly this front and order it in its dimensions.

  • Close-up of the side panel of a kitchen island in a dark stone finish, a black bar stool beside it.

    Side panels

    Large smooth surfaces at the end of a run or on the island – where chair backs, bags and the vacuum cleaner knock against them.

    One rectangle: width × height of the panel.

  • Close-up of a handleless anthracite kitchen front with a grip rail under the worktop.

    Handle areas

    Most marks sit around handles and handle rails. The film covers the whole front; you cut around surface-mounted handles on site, recessed grips work as a free form with a template.

    Measure the whole front – the handle is cut out, not subtracted.

  • Backsplash in a dark marble finish under a light strip, in front a herb pot, two oil bottles and a wooden board.

    Kitchen splashback and tiled wall

    Glass and ceramics between worktop and wall cabinet are suitable – clean them free of grease, then the film lies flat.

    One rectangle between worktop and wall cabinet; sockets as cut-outs.

  • Kitchen island in a dark stone finish with a waterfall side panel, black bar stools in front and a kitchen run with a light strip behind.

    Island and furniture surfaces

    Suitable smooth surfaces on the kitchen island, sideboard or bar panel – the same film, the same dimensions.

    One rectangle per surface, the shorter edge at most the roll width.

  • Close-up of the edge of a dark stone-look worktop, a hob with a pot in the background.

    Worktop – only under conditions

    Only on suitable, sealed worktops (laminate, glass, ceramics) and only as protection against signs of use: no heat protection, do not cut on it. Oiled wooden worktops are not suitable.

    Depth × length of the worktop, for corner worktops one piece per leg.

Clear or Premium Clear in the kitchen?

Both are transparent and do not change the front. The difference is what the surface has to withstand.

  • Clear

    €69.00 / m²

    Transparent everyday protection – and the lowest price per square metre when many fronts are covered.

    Good for

    • normally used fronts
    • side panels and trims
    • less used cabinets
  • Premium Clear

    €100.00 / m²

    Thicker carrier layer, fine scratches disappear again – for surfaces that are used hard every day.

    Good for

    • frequently touched fronts at the hob and at the sink
    • the top drawer and handle areas
    • suitable worktops and splashbacks

Matte – if you want a matte finish

Takes away gloss and reflections, fingerprints are less noticeable. On matte fronts the look stays matte; on glossy fronts it changes the look visibly – not invisible protection.

View Matte

High Gloss – only if you want high gloss

For piano lacquer and high-gloss fronts, when depth and gloss should deliberately remain. For normal protection in the kitchen, Clear or Premium Clear are the choice.

High-gloss kitchen: scratches and fingerprints

On high-gloss fronts, fine scratches and fingerprints are the first things you see. The film takes the signs of use instead of the front – which one fits depends on whether the gloss should stay and how often the front is touched.

The gloss should stay

Premium Clear for fronts that are touched every day, Clear for the rest. High Gloss only for individual lacquered fronts whose depth matters – for the whole kitchen usually more than is needed.

Configure with Premium Clear

Fingerprints bother you more than the gloss

Matte – but then the front becomes matte. That is a decision about the look; check it beforehand with the sample set on your front.

Care as for the front: soft cloth, water, mild cleaner. No abrasives, no rough pads, no blades.

How to measure kitchen fronts

Width and height in centimetres, accurate to one millimetre – the corner radius in millimetres, just as the configurator expects them. Each front individually: two seemingly identical fronts often differ by a few millimetres.

  • Measuring a rectangular frontA rectangular kitchen front in top view. The width is dimensioned at the top, the height on the right – each measured at the outer edge of the front.WidthHeightFront · outer edge

    Rectangular front

    Width × height

    Width and height of the front at the outer edge, in centimetres and accurate to one millimetre – two seemingly identical fronts often differ by a few millimetres. In the configurator the height is the “Length” field.

    Open the shape in the configurator
  • Measuring a front with rounded cornersA front with evenly rounded corners. Width and height are dimensioned as for the rectangle. At the bottom left corner the straight edges are extended with dashed lines to the imaginary corner point; the distance from the corner point to where the rounding begins is dimensioned as R on both edges.WidthHeightRRCorner radius in mm

    Front with rounded corners

    Width × height + corner radius

    Plus the corner radius in millimetres: mentally extend the straight edges to the corner point and measure from there to where the rounding begins. A coin or a glass helps to compare – all four corners the same.

    Open the shape in the configurator
  • Front with recessed grip: enclosing rectangle and templateA front with a rectangular recessed grip at the top edge. A dashed rectangle encloses the whole front and is dimensioned with width and height; the solid contour with the cut-out is the template that is uploaded.WidthHeightCut-outContour = templatedashed: enclosing rectangle

    Front with recessed grip or cut-out

    Enclosing rectangle + template

    Enter width and height of the whole front and upload the contour with the cut-out as a template – with “Exactly to size” we cut it exactly like that. Or “Cut it yourself”: film over the whole front, cut-out on site with the cutter.

    Open the shape in the configurator
  • Position of the film edge at the front edgeThe top left corner of a front, greatly enlarged. The film lies on the front and ends two to three millimetres behind the front edge; the distance is dimensioned. Alternatively the film edge sits flush with the front edge.2–3 mmor flush with the front edgeFront edgeFilmdashed: film edge

    Where the film edge sits

    Flush or 2–3 mm behind the edge

    The edge of the film sits at the edge of the front – or two to three millimetres behind it, then it is even less noticeable and the edge of the front stays free. With “Exactly to size” your dimensions are the final dimensions; with “Cut it yourself” an allowance of one centimetre helps, which you trim off on site.

Handles on the front

  • Handleless / push-to-openThe simplest case: a rectangle in width × height of the front.
  • Surface-mounted handleMeasure the whole front. With “Cut it yourself”, lay the film over the front and cut around the handle.
  • Handle rail at the top edgeMeasure the front up to the rail – the film ends where the surface ends.
  • Recessed grip in the panelFree form with a template of the contour – or cut around the recess yourself. Unsure? Send a photo.

Not every cut-out can be represented in the configurator. For complex fronts send us a photo – we tell you which way fits.

Allowance and limits

With “Cut it yourself” an allowance of one centimetre helps, which you trim off on site. With “Exactly to size” we cut exactly the dimensions entered – the measured dimensions are the final dimensions.

The shorter edge may be at most 180 cm – that is the roll width; the longer one is free. Larger surfaces you set up from two strips, the seam at a joint.

Several fronts? How to set up a kitchen project

You do not measure the whole kitchen as one surface. You set up each different front once; identical dimensions are added via the quantity. Each piece comes cut separately.

  1. Step 1

    Measure the fronts

    Note down the different dimensions – front A, front B, side panel. Count identical fronts, do not measure them individually.

  2. Step 2

    Configure the cuts

    Enter film, shape and dimensions, set the quantity. The “Label” (e.g. “Cabinet door left”) later appears on the piece’s sticker. Then “Configure another cut” for the next front – film and shape stay.

  3. Step 3

    Install at home

    The cuts arrive rolled and without a crease, each piece with a sticker. Each front gets its piece – laid on wet, squeegeed, done.

Seven transparent film pieces of different sizes, each with a numbered label, laid side by side on a dark worktop, a film roll behind them.Every front its own piece, with a label

Kitchen studio or joinery – many fronts for customers? Offers for kitchen studios.

Example: small kitchen run

Three different surfaces, 7 cuts – three configurations. Each row opens the configurator with dimensions, quantity and label; it calculates the same prices, with your dimensions.

Which kitchen surfaces are suitable?

The usual case in the kitchen is the laminated or coated front – smooth, sealed, suitable. Painted fronts too, high-gloss included. Glass and stainless steel are suitable; glass splashbacks and tiled walls are part of that.

Oiled or waxed fronts and oiled solid wood worktops are not suitable: oil prevents adhesion. For slightly textured fronts – fine wood embossing, soft-touch – we test adhesion on a sample.

Not sure what material your front is?

Send us a photo of the front and a detail of the edge – we help you assess it and tell you whether and which film fits.

Important in the kitchen: heat, cutting, water

The film helps reduce typical superficial signs of use – scratches, stains, abrasion. It is not protection against everything.

  • Heat

    The film is surface protection, not heat protection. Hot pots, pans and baking trays still belong on a trivet – we will only give a temperature once we have the data sheet.

  • Cutting

    Do not cut directly on the film: it is surface protection, not a chopping board – cuts remain visible. The board stays where it is.

  • Water

    Wiping with a damp cloth and splashes are everyday and fine. Permanently wet surfaces and joints are not where it belongs – the film does not seal anything.

  • Cleaning

    Like the front itself: soft cloth, water, mild cleaner. No abrasives, no blades. Do not wet-clean for 24 hours after installation.

Worktop: only under these conditions

The worktop must be sealed and smooth – laminate, glass, ceramics; oiled solid wood worktops are not suitable. The film takes signs of use from bags, boards and dishes, but does not replace a trivet or a chopping board. The edge of the film sits at the front edge of the worktop; for corner worktops one piece per leg, the seam at the joint. Premium Clear for this.

The full care instructions are under Care & removal.

Installation on kitchen fronts

  1. 1Clean the frontFree of grease and dry – in the kitchen the most important step.
  2. 2Align the filmWet the front and the film, lay it on wet – that way it can still be moved.
  3. 3Apply evenlySqueegee from the centre outwards, working out air and water.
  4. 4Check the edgesPress down the edges and let it cure for 24 hours.

Handles stay where they are: the film covers the front and is cut around the handle – or comes as a free form with a cut-out.

Questions about the kitchen

Which kitchen fronts are suitable?

Smooth, sealed fronts: laminated, coated or painted, high-gloss too, plus glass and stainless steel. Not oiled or waxed fronts; for slightly textured fronts we test adhesion on a sample. Not sure what your front is? Send us a photo.

Clear or Premium Clear for the kitchen?

Clear for normally used fronts, side panels and less used cabinets. Premium Clear for fronts that are used hard every day – at the hob, at the sink, the top drawer – and for suitable worktops.

Which film for a high-gloss kitchen – and what helps against fingerprints?

If the gloss should stay: Premium Clear for fronts that are touched every day – fine scratches disappear again, deeper ones remain. Clear for the other fronts; there fine scratches stay visible too. Fingerprints are visible on both as on the front itself. They only show less on the Matte, and that makes the high-gloss front matte – best checked with the sample set.

Can I use the film on the worktop?

On suitable, sealed worktops such as laminate, glass or ceramics: yes, as protection against signs of use. It does not replace a trivet or a chopping board. Oiled solid wood worktops are not suitable.

Can the film withstand hot pots and pans?

The film is not heat protection. Hot pots, pans and baking trays still belong on a trivet. We will only state a temperature we can stand behind once we have the data sheet.

How do I measure kitchen fronts?

Each front individually at the outer edge: width and height in centimetres, accurate to one millimetre. For rounded corners, also the corner radius in millimetres. In the configurator the height is called “Length”.

What do I do with recessed grips and cut-outs?

Either free form: enter width and height of the front and upload the contour with the cut-out as a template – with “Exactly to size” it arrives exactly like that. Or “Cut it yourself”: film over the whole front, cut-out on site with the cutter.

Can I order several identical fronts?

Yes. Configure once, set the quantity – each piece comes cut separately. For the next front of a different size, “Configure another cut”: film and shape stay, dimensions, quantity and label start afresh.
