Elevate Your Space with Onyx Black’s Matte Finish

Compac Panels update 14 September 2026

Onyx Black demonstrates how advances in surface technology can elevate even the simplest colour. Developed using electron-beam technology, it combines a smooth matte finish with low sheen, anti-fingerprint properties and a neutral, uniform black tone. The result is a refined surface that gives simple joinery a clean, elegant and architectural character.

Low-gloss surface

Low Gloss

The low-sheen, low-gloss surface is consistent under most lighting conditions, retaining the neutral black. The lack of glare makes spaces more visually calming, avoids the extra work of cleaning and buffing out streaks, and keeps visual consistency.

Everyday practicality

Anti-Fingerprint-1

Onyx Black’s anti-fingerprint, smooth matte finish helps minimise the visibility of fingerprints, grease marks and smears. Easy to clean and less prone to showing every touch, it maintains a cleaner, more consistent appearance between wipes, an advantage in busy kitchens.

Scratch Resistant-1

Wear-and-tear resistant

As one of the most heavily used areas of the home, the kitchen demands joinery surfaces that can withstand everyday wear. Onyx Black’s electron-beam-cured finish creates strong molecular bonds within the surface coating, enhancing its resistance to scratches, marks and everyday knocks.

Onyx Black has a unique finish and feel, and it’s something you need to see for yourself.
