What do you consider when choosing kitchen cabinets for your new kitchen? Colour, style, size and handle types, right? And what about the cabinet finish? The cabinet finish you choose can create a dramatically different effect.
You will see a variety of laminate options available in the market, with different colours and patterns to choose from. Your consultant guide will help you in making the best decision for your home. Narrow your selection down to 3 or 4. Have a look at these samples in different lighting as this can impact how you interpret the pattern and colour.
Although laminates are durable, scratches are inevitable as kitchen countertops are used each and every day. Scratches are generally light in colour which makes them easily visible on darker colours and are impossible to hide. You need to find a pattern that may help hide the scratches a little. If you are looking for more durable options, you can opt for colour core laminates which have a much thicker layer than regular laminate sheets.
Gloss Finish
The main advantage of gloss finish laminates is that they reflect the maximum level of light, giving a bright and even finish. Fingerprints and smudge marks can be removed easily without the use of chemicals. Another advantage of gloss finish is that it provides a luxurious feel to room. It is a feature in itself and can be complemented with minimal décor.
Matt Finish
Matt finish laminates are more suitable for traditional kitchens. Marks and scratches are less visible on such laminate sheets. Many people may not like matt finish considering it too flat. But there is a wide range of patterns and colour options available in matt style.
Both gloss and matt finish laminate sheets are equally attractive for your kitchen. The finish defines style and creates overall look for home interiors.
