A kitchen apron with the picture "Fruit and Ice" looks very original in any kitchen. This type of decoration is used to create modern interiors. Images also look beautiful with berries, pieces of fruit and a spray of water. An apron with such an image will emphasize the uniqueness of the kitchen.

At the initial stage of creating the apron, the base is obtained - MDF boards. For its production, crushed coniferous wood is used. The most difficult production processes in the factory are delivered to the conveyor, because of this they are done in a short time and with high quality. Now the resulting disc is cooled for 30 minutes, then sent to a special workshop where decoration elements are applied. This happens as follows:

• The required image is scanned.
• They place photo printing on a layer of special glue treated with ultraviolet light. This action is repeated 14 times. The principle of operation is that the subsequent layer is as if baked in the previous one. The result is a three-dimensional image. It seems that the picture is hidden inside.
• The size of the manufactured products is 2.8 * 0.6 m, the thickness is 0.5 cm.

Laying the apron - the process is not so complicated. She does not need any special tools. When purchasing ready-made panels, everything that is required is included in the package. Of the necessary additional parts, a connecting strip will be needed. She is chosen based on the characteristics of kitchen furniture. From below the apron is without fail attached to the table. In the space under the hanging cabinet, the shape of the herringbone bar is suitable.

Product responses are mostly favorable:

• the panels are easy to clean from dirt, which indicates their comfort in use and practicality;
• MDF panels are much better than products from other materials, they are lightweight and low cost.

When choosing products for an apron, you must pay attention to the following characteristics.

• The size of the apron. The standard sizes are - height 0.5-0.6 m, it depends on the growth of family members and the type of stove.
• Working surface should pass along the entire perimeter of the room, and not be limited to the place behind the stove and sink. Although these places are most often polluted, the rest are also at risk.
• When the sink is located in the corner of the room, then it’s better to lay the apron on the perpendicular side, as the places around the sink get dirty quickly.

Simple and easy installation, beautiful views, low cost - all these characteristics attract the attention of users, and the use of glossy panels in the kitchen is becoming more popular every day.
