Anti-fingerprint in the kitchen
Fingerprints on kitchen fronts are one of those things that just happen in everyday life—especially on dark, matte surfaces. No sooner have you opened the door than you see a new fingerprint. To ensure that your kitchen still looks like new every day, Nolte Küchen offers various surface solutions with an anti-fingerprint effect. Each of these ensures that fronts remain visibly cleaner, feel pleasantly velvety, and are significantly easier to care for in everyday use.
Nolte Küchen distinguishes between two surface technologies:
Anti-Fingerprint 2.0 – exclusively for FLAIR and PERFECT PLUS , and
Anti-Fingerprint surfaces – for the VELLUTO and PEARL.
Both variants ensure significantly fewer visible fingerprints, but each with its own character, its own look, and its own area of application.
What makes anti-fingerprint special?
Matte kitchen fronts create a modern and calm look, but they also place special demands on the surface in everyday use. Especially on frequently used cabinets, fingerprints or grease marks can quickly become visible. This is where anti-fingerprint technology comes in.
The specially developed surface structure reduces the adhesion of grease and dirt. As a result, fingerprints are far less visible and residues can be removed more easily. Even with intensive use, kitchen fronts retain their well-maintained appearance for longer.

- Matte fronts stay looking clean for longer
- Cleaning becomes easier and faster
- Ideal for heavily used kitchens in everyday life

Worktops with anti-fingerprint properties
Not only kitchen fronts benefit from easy-care surfaces – an anti-fingerprint worktop also offers noticeable advantages in everyday kitchen use. Work surfaces are among the most heavily used areas in the kitchen. This is where ingredients are prepared, cut and cooked, which means fingerprints or grease marks can quickly appear.
Worktops with an anti-fingerprint surface ensure that such marks are less visible and that dirt can be removed more easily. This simplifies everyday cleaning and helps the work surface maintain its well-kept appearance for longer.
The Nolte range includes several stone décors with anti-fingerprint properties, including Catania Marble and Black Mangor. They combine a striking, nature-inspired stone look with a surface specifically developed for daily use in the kitchen.
The result is easy-care worktops on which fingerprints are less noticeable and which are particularly easy to clean – ideal for kitchens where cooking and preparing food are part of everyday life.

FAQs
Sustainability and anti-fingerprint
Easy-care surfaces also contribute to greater sustainability in the kitchen. When dirt adheres less strongly and can be removed more quickly, the cleaning effort in everyday life is significantly reduced. In many cases, water and a soft cloth are sufficient to clean kitchen fronts. Aggressive cleaning agents are often unnecessary. This helps conserve resources and ensures that surfaces maintain their quality over the long term.
In addition, durable materials support the sustainable use of the kitchen. When fronts continue to look well maintained and remain resistant even after many years, they need to be replaced less often – an important aspect of long-lasting, high-quality kitchen concepts.
