He said that he's seen many kitchens where the doors start to "unwrap" over time, and strongly suggested that we go with Laminex, as the product is hardwearing and will still look good in 15 years. We are going with luxury finishes throughout (stone vanity tops etc etc) and have taken his advice and have switched to Laminate. Don't get me wrong, I love the look of the Polytec products, and am a little disappointed not to be getting that gloss look, however we just don't want to run into trouble down the track.

All I know is we are having Parbury laminate and we can get the colours we want in gloss but no idea of upgrade costs. I realise costs will be relevant to how big a kitchen is but just need some clue to cost. you say gloss cupboards ,parburys dont make a gloss door ,if you mean the tops then we get charged an extra 10 percent of the top price ,this is mostly to cover the extra careful handling that has to go into the manufacturing process and i think it gives you a heads up as to the surfaces finish abilities Hi Tom, Maybe they use the Wilsonart that I have samples of. It seems both companies are linked somehow. Not sure, will have to wait till we do our colour selection. I just know when I checked the samples on line for Wilsonart they have gloss in the Designer White and Madagascar that we want. We are doing white cupboards and Madagascar on the oven tower and back wall of the island bench. Bench tops will be CS. Kaytee Hey Kaytee, I have had this discussion before with arms. Our cabinet maker used a Parbury product called "Panelart". The colour is "Arctic White". The cupboards are not a shiny as gloss as they have a low-lustre surface and I think that they look fantastic paired with my Cacao Umber and Ebony Macassar benchtops. If you click on my link you can see the pics of our kitchen. To have the cupboards in Panelart was no extra charge for the cupboards etc. for our cabinet maker but as you would probably know, not all cabinet makers charge the same for the same/similar products. Here is the link to Parbury - http://www.parbury.com.au/panelart/panelart.asp Kaytee, I think that the "Designer White" and "Madagascar" will look fantastic. I just love contrasting colours. PCI Done Interested in getting either the Polytec Boston Oak or Palace Peak for kitchen cabinets. Looking at the Boston Oak ones, it appears that the colour varies significantly… 0 9167 Hi Stuey, think you’ve got a couple of options here you’d just need to decide your preference/which options suits best.
