Finished in smoked oak, the panel is made from MDF (medium-density fibreboard) with a veneer-like appearance to provide a cohesive look with kitchen cabinetry. It is intended for use where a decorative wooden front is required to integrate a dishwasher into kitchen furniture.
Advantages
This decorative panel offers a wood-effect appearance that helps blend a dishwasher with surrounding cabinets, improving visual continuity in the kitchen. Constructed from MDF, it delivers a smooth, paintable surface and stable dimensions suitable for internal kitchen conditions. The smoked oak finish provides a neutral, modern tone that complements a range of cabinetry styles.

How to use
Measure the dimensions of the existing dishwasher front and mounting points to confirm compatibility before installation. Remove the appliance's original front where applicable, align the VidaXL Lucca panel to the dishwasher door, and secure it using the dishwasher's manufacturer-recommended mounting brackets or screws. If required, trim or adjust edges with appropriate woodworking tools and finish cut edges with sealant or paint to match the visible surface.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm the panel dimensions and attachment method match your dishwasher model
- Consider moisture protection or surface treatment if the appliance is close to sinks or steam sources
- Check whether trimming or additional hardware is needed for a flush fit
Usage recommendations
For best results, store and install the panel in a dry, temperature-stable environment; apply edge sealing or suitable finish if the kitchen is exposed to high humidity, and follow your dishwasher manufacturer's instructions for mounting a decorative panel to ensure safe and correct installation.
