Direct Factory High Gloss Bathroom Cabinet
Direct Factory High Gloss Bathroom Cabinet
Product Overview
Manufactured directly at the factory, this bathroom cabinet eliminates intermediate handling, allowing tighter control over material consistency and lead times. The unit is built from moisture‑resistant substrate and finished with a UV‑cured acrylic coating that yields a measurable gloss level of 90 GU at 60°.
Construction and Materials
The carcass uses 18 mm moisture‑resistant medium density fibreboard (MR‑MDF) with a nominal density of 700 kg/m³, providing dimensional stability under fluctuating humidity. All edges are sealed with 0.8 mm PVC edge banding applied via hot‑melt adhesive, reducing moisture ingress to less than 0.2 % weight gain after 48 h exposure.
| Option | Typical Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Substrate | 18 mm MR‑MDF | Density 700 kg/m³, thickness tolerance ±0.3 mm |
| Edge Band | 0.8 mm PVC | Hot‑melt adhesion, peel strength >1.5 N/mm |
| Coating | UV‑cured acrylic | Film thickness 40 µm, gloss 90 GU (60°) |
| Hardness | 2H pencil | ASTM D3363 |
Surface Finish Specifications
The UV‑cured acrylic film is cured at 120 °C for 8 seconds, resulting in a cross‑linked hardness of 2H pencil and a gloss measurement of 90 GU (±2 GU) according to ASTM D523. Chemical resistance testing shows no visible change after 24 h immersion in 5 % sodium hypochlorite solution.
Dimensional Tolerance and Modularity
Standard modules are offered in 600 mm width, 800 mm height, and 500 mm depth, with a cumulative tolerance of ±0.5 mm on each axis. The system increments in 100 mm steps, allowing designers to configure wall‑mounted or floor‑standing layouts without custom fabrication.
- Width: 600 mm (±0.5 mm)
- Height: 800 mm (±0.5 mm)
- Depth: 500 mm (±0.5 mm)
- Door overlay: 18 mm (±0.2 mm)
Water and Humidity Resistance
The assembled cabinet meets an IP44 rating for protection against splashing water from any direction, verified per IEC 60529. After 48 h exposure to 95 % relative humidity at 30 °C, the substrate exhibits a thickness swell of less than 0.2 % and no delamination of the edge band.
Customization Options
- Overall dimensions adjustable in 100 mm increments (width, height, depth)
- Door configuration: hinged, sliding, or bi‑fold with optional soft‑close hinges (torque 0.25 Nm)
- Handle types: integrated finger pull, chrome‑plated bar, or recessed pocket (pull‑out force 5 N)
- Interior accessories: adjustable shelving (load capacity 15 kg per shelf), LED strip lighting (12 V, 4.8 W/m), motion sensor switch
- Finish colors: standard white (RAL 9010) or custom RAL/Pantone matches upon request
Quality Assurance and Testing
Each unit undergoes inline inspection: gloss meter verification (±2 GU), coating thickness gauge (±2 µm), adhesion cross‑hatch test (ASTM D3359, rating 5B), and dimensional check with calibrated calipers. Final audit includes a 2‑hour condensation cycle to confirm no blushing or delamination.

| Test | Method | Acceptance Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Gloss | ASTM D523 (60°) | 90 GU ±2 |
| Coating Thickness | Magnetic induction gauge | 40 µm ±2 µm |
| Adhesion | ASTM D3359 (cross‑cut) | 5B (no removal) |
| Dimensional Accuracy | Caliper measurement | ±0.5 mm |
| Humidity Resistance | 48 h @ 95 % RH, 30 °C | Swelling <0.2 % |
Applications in Commercial and Residential Projects
Because the coating resists common bathroom chemicals and the substrate resists swelling, the cabinet is suited for high‑traffic hotel guest rooms, healthcare facilities where frequent disinfection occurs, and luxury residential bathrooms that require a seamless, easy‑to‑clean surface. The modular system enables rapid reconfiguration during refurbishment without replacing the entire unit.
