Best Finish for your Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinets in the kitchen are the most essential components and the finish adds aesthetic appeal to your kitchen. So it’s very important to take some time to choose the best finish for kitchen cabinets.  There are a number of finishes available in the market such as laminates, acrylic, polymer etc. Laminates and acrylic are the most popular choices. They differ in terms of aesthetics, pricing and durability.

Acrylic finish is non-toxic and reflective high gloss finish which can give a perfect smooth finish to the cabinets. It is available in an array of colours and will give a mirror like resemblance to the kitchen cabinets.

Laminates are made by pressing together thin layers of flat paper and plastic resins. The upper layer is printed with a decorated pattern. Laminates for kitchen cabinets are pressed with high pressure.

You will find more variety in laminates than acrylic finishes. Laminates for kitchen cabinets are available in matt, gloss and ultra-high gloss too. Apart from colours, laminates are available in various textures like wood.

Laminates are heat and moisture resistant. They are hard-wearing and durable when compared to acrylic finish and can be treated for antibacterial properties.

Acrylic is more expensive when compared to laminates. Laminates offer durability and variety at a lower cost, making them ideal for those on a budget.
