Kitchen cabinet finishes make a large difference to the appearance of your kitchen as they are one of the most visible features. From polyurethane to timber and hand painted finishes, it can be difficult to choose which one is best for your kitchen and lifestyle. There are many pros and cons to each kitchen cabinet finish, here’s how to decide which one will suit your kitchen.
Polyurethane Finish
Polyurethane is a hard, durable and scratch-resistant paint surface that is available in matt, semi-gloss and high-gloss finishes. Polyurethane finishes are popular in modern kitchens and is a very easy surface to clean. A glossy or matt polyurethane finish is thick and scratch resistant making it a durable choice for new kitchen cabinets or bench tops. As polyurethane is available in an unlimited range of colours, your kitchen cabinets can be matched to suit any kitchen style and are able to blend in with existing materials and finishes.
Hand Painted Finish
Hand painted kitchen finishes and detailing bring out the natural texture and depth that other finishes cannot achieve. Various techniques are used to create a hand painted finish such as antiquing, colour washing, distressing and rubbing back. Hand painted antique cabinets are a prominent feature in French provincial style kitchens, giving your home a unique design and long lasting finish. Timeless and versatile in colour and shade ranges, hand painted cabinets will rejuvenate your kitchen with a bespoke design.
Timber Finish
Timber cabinets are a popular choice for traditional kitchen styles and are available in a range of colours and shades. Timber often provides a warm and welcoming feeling to your home and is both long lasting and environmentally friendly. Timber can be colour matched in a range of coats and gloss levels and can be re-stained or painted to give your kitchen an updated look. Its natural softness can add age to a country kitchen and character to your home. Timber is also a popular material used for kitchen bench tops and flooring as it offers many design options.
