Burgundy Matt Lacquer Kitchen — Deep Oxblood Slab Fronts with Edges Lacquered Shut

Dark kitchens fail in one of two ways: the colour goes muddy under a low-sheen finish, or the door edges give the game away. This run is built to avoid both. The colour is an oxblood burgundy matched to RAL 3007 or NCS S 6030-R10B — deep enough to read almost black in a north-facing room and clearly wine-red under a window — applied as a two-coat polyurethane lacquer at 3 to 5 gloss units, which is the band where a dark colour keeps its depth instead of turning chalky. The fronts are 19mm slab doors, not shaker and not a foil: the MDF is filled and sanded flat, the lacquer wraps the edges, and the edge is finished to the same sheen as the face, so there is no ABS line, no melamine tape and no pale seam running around every door. Gaps are a uniform 3mm, held by drilling rather than by adjustment, and the only hardware is a slim brushed brass bar pull — 128mm on drawers, 160mm on doors. Behind the face it is an 18mm plywood carcass on 32mm system drilling with Blum soft-close throughout, 720mm base boxes on a 100mm plinth for a 900mm finished worktop height, 330mm deep wall units, and a 20mm white quartz top with a fine light speckle that keeps the room from going flat. It is a 20-piece OEM/ODM programme for importers, kitchen studios and project specifiers who need a colour story rather than another grey.

  • Deep oxblood burgundy in two-coat polyurethane lacquer at 3 to 5 gloss units, matched to RAL 3007, NCS S 6030-R10B or a supplied sample — the band where a dark colour holds depth instead of reading chalky under a low-sheen topcoat
  • 19mm slab fronts with lacquered edges: the MDF is grain-filled, sanded flat and sprayed on all four edges, so no ABS tape line or pale melamine seam runs around the door — the failure that makes most budget dark kitchens look budget at arm's length
  • A uniform 3mm shadow gap held by the hinge and runner drilling rather than by site adjustment, so a run of six doors reads as one plane with six parallel lines instead of six panels at six slightly different heights
  • Slim brushed brass bar pulls — 128mm centres on drawer fronts, 160mm on doors — in a PVD finish that does not wear through at the grip the way a lacquered brass does; a routed J-pull handleless variant runs on the same fronts for programs that want no visible hardware
  • 18mm plywood carcass with sealed ABS edges, 8mm back panel and 32mm system drilling — plywood rather than chipboard because a dark lacquered face is unforgiving: if the box racks, the gap opens and the eye finds it immediately
  • 720mm base carcasses on adjustable legs behind a 100mm painted plinth, giving a 900mm finished worktop height; 330mm deep wall units at 720mm high with one adjustable shelf on the 32mm system
  • 20mm white quartz worktop with a fine light speckle, 620mm deep, 20mm square edge and a 100mm matching upstand — white rather than a dark stone so the base run stays legible and the burgundy does the talking
  • Blum TandemBox soft-close drawers rated 30 to 70kg on every drawer bank and Blum clip-on concealed hinges with three-way adjustment, or a cost-equivalent Chinese runner set on the same 32mm drilling for entry price points
  • Anti-fingerprint matt topcoat available at 2 to 3 gloss units as a cost option, which is worth specifying on a dark colour in a family kitchen: it cuts the greasy bloom that a standard matt lacquer picks up around handles
  • Standard module widths of 300 / 400 / 500 / 600 / 900 / 1000mm with 570mm deep base boxes, so a run plans on a 100mm grid and still lands on standard appliance and sink apertures without a bespoke carcass
  • Flat-packed RTA or assembled, with doors and drawer fronts crated separately in door-number order and a touch-up pot in the batch colour in every crate

Specifications

Programme scopeFull kitchen run in one colour and one door style — base units, wall units, tall units and a painted plinth; module widths of 300 to 1000mm on a 100mm grid, with a 3mm door gap held across the range; supplied flat-packed or assembled, with or without worktop.
Construction18mm plywood carcasses with sealed ABS edges, glued and dowelled corners and confirmat fixings at the load points; 8mm back panel; 32mm system drilling throughout. Solid 18mm E1 chipboard available as a cost-down for dry inland projects, on the same drilling and the same fronts.
Fronts19mm MDF slab doors and drawer fronts, grain-filled and sanded flat before spraying, with all four edges lacquered to the same sheen as the face; 3mm uniform gap. Shaker, J-pull handleless and routed-groove variants are available on the same carcass and the same hinge drilling; glazed and open-frame variants on the same stile width.
FinishTwo-coat polyurethane lacquer at 3 to 5 gloss units in oxblood burgundy, matched to RAL 3007, NCS S 6030-R10B or a supplied sample; water-based primer, oven-cured. Tested to 200 revolutions Taber abrasion and a 72-hour 40 degrees C / 90 percent RH cycle with no gloss shift or edge lift. Anti-fingerprint matt topcoat at 2 to 3 gloss units available as an option; a touch-up pot in the batch colour ships with every order.
Worktop20mm white quartz with a fine light speckle, 620mm deep, 20mm square edge and a 100mm matching upstand from the same slab; 20mm quartz, 38mm solid oak, 38mm laminate or 12mm sintered stone on the same carcass. Sink and hob apertures templated from the project drawing, with the sink centre line set to the 600mm sink base.
HardwareSlim brushed brass bar pulls in PVD, 128mm centres on drawers and 160mm on doors; a routed J-pull handleless profile on the same fronts as the no-hardware option. Blum TandemBox soft-close drawers rated 30 to 70kg as the specified option, with a cost-equivalent Chinese runner set on the same drilling for entry programmes; Blum clip-on concealed hinges with three-way adjustment; magnetic catches and door buffers on all single doors.
Internal fit-outOne adjustable shelf per wall unit, cutlery inserts, a 300mm pull-out waste under the sink, a corner carousel and a tall larder pull-out available as inserts on the same box; appliance and sink bases supplied open with a service void and ventilation cut-outs to the appliance drawing.
InstallationDowel-and-cam assembly with pre-drilled panels and confirmat fixings; a 3m run assembles in roughly 3 to 5 hours with two fitters. Wall units hang on a steel rail supplied per run; the 3mm gap is set by the drilling and the hinge adjustment range, so a fitter levels the run rather than re-gapping every door. An English-language assembly drawing and a parts list by unit code ship with every order.
PackagingBoxes flat in 5-layer cartons with foam corner blocks — a 600mm base box ships at roughly 70 x 58 x 17cm and 33kg gross; doors and drawer fronts in a separate rigid face-board crate in door-number order, face to face with foam interleaves so a lacquered face is never against cardboard; brass hardware in a labelled bag inside the face-board crate.
MOQ and lead time20 pcs per model; widths, two door styles and a two-tone split may be mixed inside the 20. A custom RAL or NCS colour, or the anti-fingerprint topcoat, starts at 50 pcs in one finish with a sprayed 200 x 300mm approval panel.

Product FAQ

Why burgundy, and will it date?
Burgundy is doing what navy did five years ago: it is the dark colour that reads as a decision rather than a default. The reason it works in a kitchen is that oxblood sits between red and brown, so it holds up against both warm oak floors and cool grey tiles, and it goes almost black in a dim room while staying clearly wine under daylight — which means the same kitchen changes character through the day instead of sitting flat. On dating: any strong colour dates if it is applied to everything. The specification that ages well is burgundy bases with a white quartz top and brass hardware, which is a classic combination rather than a trend, and it can be re-sprayed or re-fronted later without touching the carcass. If a program is nervous, order the tall units in the same burgundy and the wall units in a warm white — the two-tone split costs nothing extra inside the 20-piece minimum.
How do you keep a dark matt finish clean?
Three things decide it, and only one of them is the customer's cleaning habit. First, gloss level: at 3 to 5 gloss units the surface scatters light rather than reflecting it, so fingerprints do not read as smears the way they do at 15 gloss; the anti-fingerprint topcoat option at 2 to 3 gloss units goes further by lowering surface energy, which is worth the small upcharge on a dark colour in a family kitchen. Second, hardware placement: a bar pull spreads contact over two fixing points and gives the hand somewhere to land that is not the door face, which is why this program uses 128mm and 160mm bars rather than knobs. Third, edge quality: because the edges are lacquered rather than taped, there is no absorbent line to stain. Clean with a damp microfibre and a pH-neutral spray; avoid abrasive cream and avoid silicone polish, which builds a film that shows as patches under raking light.
Why slab doors rather than shaker for a dark colour?
Because a slab face has nowhere to hide. A shaker door carries a recessed panel and a stile, and the shadow lines break up any slight waviness in the board or the spray; a flat lacquered panel shows every ripple, every sanding scratch under the coat and every uneven edge. That is why the slab here is 19mm MDF — not 16mm, not chipboard — grain-filled, sanded flat, sprayed on all four edges and cured in an oven, so the face is dead flat and the edge has the same sheen as the front. It is also why the carcass is plywood: a box that racks will open a 3mm gap on one side and close it on the other, and on a dark run that misalignment is the first thing anyone sees. If the budget does not stretch to that discipline, a shaker in the same burgundy is the more forgiving choice and costs about the same.
How is the colour approved before production?
By a physical panel, not by a screen. Every order starts with a sprayed 200 x 300mm approval panel in the batch colour on the actual board and the actual lacquer system, couriered before production; the panel is signed and the batch reference is logged against the order. Standard colours are matched to RAL 3007 or NCS S 6030-R10B, and a custom match needs a physical sample — a door, a tile or a paint chip — because a photograph cannot carry a colour. A custom RAL or NCS colour, or the anti-fingerprint topcoat, starts at 50 pieces in one finish; inside that, one of the standard colours can be mixed across widths in a 20-piece lot.
How does a 20-piece order work, and what are the lead times?
The 20-piece MOQ is per model, and because the carcass, the 32mm drilling, the hinge pattern and the 3mm gap are identical across widths, a lot can mix 300 to 1000mm units freely and split between two door styles or a two-tone scheme without a second set-up. A custom colour or the anti-fingerprint topcoat starts at 50 pieces in one finish, because a colour change means a spray run and a booth clean. Sample door 10 to 14 days, production 30 to 35 days, FOB Ningbo or CIF Felixstowe, Sydney, Melbourne and Los Angeles. The factory is 20,000 square metres and has supplied the top ten international building-material brands since 2009.
