Six layers in a door.
The door panel is not one thing. It is six things bonded, cured at 220 °C, and finished with a physical anti-fingerprint texture.
The outside of the pod looks like one surface. It is not.
The door panel is a composite of six layers, built up from the outside in. The face is a 3D wood-grain print — natural warmth on a material that will never rot. Under that, a formaldehyde-free colour base cured in the oven at two hundred and twenty degrees Celsius, matching the durability of automotive paint.
Then a layer of 304 stainless steel to keep water out. Then an aerospace-grade aluminium honeycomb — bionic geometry, half the weight of a solid panel, twice the rigidity. Then a second layer of 304 stainless as the interior base. Finally, a linen-textured anti-fingerprint surface — a physical texture, not a wear-off coating.
You can see none of these layers from the outside. That is the point. What you feel is a single warm-cool metallic surface that does not smudge under a wet hand and does not fade in ten summers of direct sun.
304 is not a marketing word. It is the grade of stainless that commercial kitchens have used for fifty years. It resists chloride corrosion. It weld-cleans without discolouration. It costs more than 201 or 430 and we use it because it is the correct spec, not the premium one.
You can pressure-wash the pod. You can wipe it down with a microfibre cloth. Both are fine. The layers do the work.
