Peter Hay – a leading New Zealand kitchen company – embrace new ZERO JOINT technology. With the launch of a new range of laminate doors made with a special process. It implements cutting-edge technology, which ensures a seamless joint along the door surface.

Advanced technology allows for joining the edges using a high-efficiency hot air source. Thanks to this type of processing, the panel and edge merged to resemble a single piece. Permanent and gap-free welding eliminates aesthetic defects caused by glue residues. Preventing any resulting dirt build-up and yellowing.
