KITCHEN CUPBOARD FINISHES

Choose wisely

Kitchen cupboards are usually a large part of your overall kitchen spend.  It is because of this point that you need to make the decision on finish, carefully.  If you choose the wrong material or finish you may not be able to change it for a very long time.  This could leave you forever cleaning the fronts of your cabinetry after your children have put finger prints everywhere or you may have to stare at your red glass doors for the next 10 years wondering what you were thinking when you chose that colour.

There are three options for you to choose from when selecting kitchen cupboard finishes.
  1. Matt
  2. Semi-Gloss
  3. Gloss
Each material that you research will have a finish in either all, some or one of these categories.  Identifying the best finish for your household is important.  These are some of the materials that you can choose from:
  • Melamine - slightly rough finish.
  • Vinyl - a wrap that is thermoformed to MDF to make the finish timber-like.
  • Acrylic sheet - has a high gloss finish.
  • Laminate - come in many colours and patterns.
  • Two pack or 2-pac paint - doors are painted and form a glossy finish.
  • Timber - a solid wood showing natural finish including knots.
  • Timber veneer - thin layer of wood over cheaper material for a wood finish.
  • Glass - usually used to display the contents of the cupboard.  Can be frosted to add sophistication.
  • Mesh - made from steel or similar metal which allows a see through finish and stylish urban look.
  • Aluminium - comes in four different finishes.

Depending on how you use the kitchen and who uses the kitchen you will need to consider some significant factors before making your final selection.  You need to choose a kitchen cupboard finish that:
  • Is effective at hiding finger prints and soiling.
  • Is hard wearing and resistant to scratches and marks.
  • Is easy to clean and keep clean.
  • Reflects the right amount of light in your space.
  • Is protected against water damage and swelling.
  • Is hygienic and impenetrable to bacteria.
  • Can be resistant to heat.

the price tag

If you are on a strict budget and need to reduce the cost of your new kitchen you should consider Melamine and vinyl.
If cost is not an issue then you can explore other options listed above such as solid wood, glass and aluminium.
2-pac or other high gloss finishes are usually reserved for kitchen designs with an extensive budget and as they mark and show soiling they are not usually considered practical for family kitchens.
