Zenit is CNC's super-matte European slab-front line, built on the Alvic Zenit panel. The doors are a flat slab in a velvet-soft anti-fingerprint finish, edge-banded clean on all four sides — a deliberate move away from Shaker rails and into a true contemporary European look.
A Super-Matte Slab Built on Alvic Zenit Panels
The face material is Alvic's Zenit super-matte laminate, sealed with a soft-touch top layer that resists fingerprints and reads almost like a painted finish from across the room. The cabinet box behind the door is the same plywood construction used across CNC's standard catalog, so the durability matches the line's other kitchens.

Where Zenit Earns Its Place
High-end modern kitchens, condo and townhome remodels with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, primary baths designed around floating vanities, and contemporary builds where the aesthetic leans European. The slab face also takes well to integrated panel-ready appliances.
Spec and Care Notes
The matte finish wipes clean with a damp microfiber, but skip abrasive pads, ammonia, and citrus cleaners which can dull or compromise the soft-touch top layer. Hardware is best kept minimal: integrated finger pulls, push-to-open mechanisms, or thin linear bar handles.
Order a door sample to confirm the matte's color depth under your kitchen's lighting before locking in. Super-matte finishes can read a half-tone darker than a swatch suggests.
