Why High-Gloss Finish Kitchen Cabinets Matter in Singapore
Singapore’s humid climate demands cabinetry that resists moisture, stains, and wear. High-gloss finish cabinets combine timeless elegance with practical durability, reflecting the island’s love for modernity and functionality. At MRETTY, we specialize in bespoke high-gloss cabinetry using advanced materials like ENF-grade OSB and aerospace aluminum honeycomb.
5-Step Guide to Choosing the Perfect High-Gloss Cabinets
-
Assess Humidity & Ventilation

Singapore’s tropical climate requires cabinets resistant to mold and warping. Opt for waterproof OSB panels and moisture-proof seals.

ENF OSB Panels: Formaldehyde-free, 50% more moisture-resistant than standard OSB.

E0-Grade Coating: Zero-VOC, scratch-resistant, and available in matte or high-gloss finishes.

-
Design for Compact Spaces
-
Choose J-slot handles and hidden hinges to maximize vertical space.

Opt for 25mm-thick dividers to support heavy countertops.
-
-
Prioritize Low-Maintenance Features

Aerospace Aluminum Honeycomb: Reinforces panels without bulk, ideal for high-traffic kitchens.
