1. Why Magnetic Laminates Belong in Busy Kitchens
- Dual‑purpose surface – holds magnets and works as a dry‑erase or chalkboard.
- Built for Indian kitchens – stands up to daily wear, cooking splatter and high humidity with no warping or peeling.
- Instant communication zone – no drilling, no hardware; switch notes in seconds. – Samrat Laminates
2. Inside the Material
- Ferrite iron foil is embedded within a thin High‑Pressure Laminate (HPL) core—magnetism you can trust, evenly distributed, with none of the bulk of a steel panel.
- Precision‑pressed in Europe, Samrat Magnetic Laminate sheets stay flat and scratch‑proof, even after years of pen caps and spice‑jar tests. – Samrat Laminates
3. Planning Your Cabinet Layout
- Pick your “communication zones.”
- Fridge‑adjacent upper doors for shopping lists.
- Pantry doors for recipes and kids’ drawings.
- Measure & map panels.
- Standard Samrat sheets arrive at 1 220 × 2 440 mm (fits most 600 mm‑wide uppers). – Samrat Laminates
- Decide mixed finishes.
- Go full‑magnetic fronts or split—top magnetic, bottom wood‑grain laminate for warmth.
4. Step‑by‑Step Installation
- Prep doors. Remove them, wipe down with mild degreaser, and sand very lightly.
- Cut sheets. Use a 96‑tooth carbide‑tipped blade on your table saw or circular saw—leave a 5 mm gap at hinge edges for expansion. – Samrat Laminates
- Adhesive. Apply a solvent‑free contact cement evenly to both door face and laminate back. Let tack‑dry per instructions.
- Bond & roll. Press the sheet onto the door and consolidate with a J‑roller to push out any air pockets.
- Re‑hang & test. Hang the door, then try a 500 g spice jar to ensure magnet pull is snug—no falling notes.
5. Everyday Use & Care
- Quick wipe with a damp microfibre cloth—no harsh cleaners needed.
- Dry‑erase chalk or marker cleans off with water; for stubborn residue, a 70 % isopropyl swab does the trick.
- Scratch touch‑ups with Samrat colour‑matched HPL repair sticks—just a swipe and you’re back to sleek.
6. Design Ideas to Spark Your Creativity
- Graphite black magnetic – modern, hides smudges, perfect for monochrome kitchens.
- Split‑panel fun – upper half magnetic, lower half oak‑look for contrast and warmth.
- Vertical stripes – alternate magnetic and chalk‑marker laminates for a playful note board.
- Recipe‑rail – install a horizontal panel above the counter for quick‑grab shopping lists and menu prints.
With Samrat Magnetic Laminates, your kitchen cabinets become more than storage—they’re the heart of family organization, creativity, and communication. No drilling, no damage—just stick, write, display and enjoy an endlessly adaptable command‑centre that grows with your household.
