Forster kitchens are manufactured from powder-coated steel plate or brushed stainless steel. The sandwich-construction front panels and shelves have a noise-dampening, stabilizing cardboard honeycomb core. This enables the use of extremely thin shelves (only eight millimeter thick) with lengths of up to 1200 millimeter. Benefits of a steel kitchen: hard-wearing, hygienic, easy-to-clean, heat and moisture-resistant, non-flammable. The kitchen panel system is used for the design of the rear panel of a kitchen unit or as a free-standing item of furniture in the living area. In addition, magnetic functional elements can be individually positioned on the panels.
