Black timbergrain laminate or Veneer

Page 1 of 1
Hi All

Looking at predominately using a black / dark timbergrain loo cabinetry in our kitchen / home cabinetry but concerned about fingerprints and marks.

see below for examples









Has anyone had any good experience with a timbergrain laminate or veneer that didnt easily show fingerprints etc.

We were looking at using Polytec Black Ply Woodmatt but noticed another forum user had noted how easily fingerprints showed up.


Thanks
As a general rule,the smoother,shinier,glossy glass like finishes all show finger prints easy.
I have high gloss Uba tuba black granite and it shows finger prints easy.
I also have 2 pac in antique white usa and finger prints show up almost same as granite.
My mid coloured quartz which is no where near as shiny but with a little shine shows no finger prints.
Also have Corian which acts similar to quartz.
I'm fussy and hate finger prints marks but will clean them off, this makes the glossy surfaces not just a little more work but heaps extra if like my house there are 4 living in it with only myself hating the finger prints.

I also have Uba tuba black granite which shows finger prints. It's not a problem for me. It's easy to clean them off.
