What Kind of Finishes Are Available on European Kitchen Cabinets ?

Thermofoil

Thermofoil is an extremely hard-wearing type of smooth plastic/vinyl coating that's bonded to a modern cabinet door using heat.

A cabinet that's had a thermofoil coating applied will be very low maintenance - requiring no additional protective coating. Thermofoils are also highly moisture resistant - ideal for busy kitchens! Foils are perfect if you're looking for that contemporary high-gloss look that many people opting for a modern European design want.

Melamine

Melamine is a specialist type of laminate used to create a huge range of textures and wood grains - and, like thermofoils, it's durable, scratch-resistant, and waterproof; making it perfect if you want a tough kitchen cabinet.

Melamine is actually the name of just one layer of the coating that's used to finish a modern kitchen cabinet. Layers of paper are saturated with melamine resin; they have pressure applied to them to create a solid surface. When bonded to a high-quality cabinet, the result is an attractive and versatile surface.

Lacquer Paint

Traditionally, lacquer paint is another way of achieving a highly reflective finish on a kitchen cabinet - although we also use specialist lacquers to create stunning matte finishes for your kitchen design too.

Lacquer itself doesn't have a color - but instead provides an extremely tough coating to a layer of paint underneath. When we finish our doors with paint and lacquer, each layer is slowly built up in a temperature-controlled environment to ensure the highest-quality, tough finish.

One of the biggest factors in the way your kitchen looks will be the finish of the cabinetry, doors and drawer fronts. As we create bespoke kitchens, we can help you to create an exciting new fusion with various designs or revival of a classic style or something else entirely unique with your own flair. Whether choosing a classic shaker door or a sleek slab front, the door style will bring your design together and Snimay can create them all in a variety of finishes to suit.
