INTRO

How modern French is created

Traditional French carving, gilding and columns often feel heavy in today is apartment layouts. Modern French keeps the French bones - the mullion-framed door, arches, corner mouldings, symmetry - but scales them down and halves the ornament so it fits ordinary ceiling heights and daily life.

CMITAL S2 French lacquer series is the workhorse for this style: mullion door frames 50-60 mm wide with an 8 mm recess, finished in satin lacquer - clean white from a distance, with relief-like depth up close.

FAQ

About this style

Will lacquer crack?

Cracking usually comes from uncontrolled substrate moisture content and film thickness. CMITAL uses a three-base three-top system with 48-hour curing and states the paint warranty in the contract - a rare commitment in this industry.

Will coloured doors date quickly?

We suggest a structure of cream white for large areas and Morandi tones for small ones: accent colours at the entry, sideboard or kids room while the main body stays neutral. Redoing the accent areas in a few years costs far less than renovating the whole home.

Are arched doors very expensive?

Arched doors cost mainly in the tooling and milling, but when used in only a few places - master bedroom, daughter room, entry focal point - the impact on the total price is limited while it delivers the biggest visual return in the whole space.
