Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 May 23, 2015 6:37 pm Trying to select as much of our colours as possible BEFORE our colour appointment and having some what of a hard time trying to get a black laminate for our base cupboards. We are wanting to do a "Black and White" theme throughout the house and the Kitchen area will be White porcelain tiles, Black base cabinets, White stone tops and White overhead cupboards. Building with Clarendon and they only have a plain black in a Matt finish and not in a Sheen. Spoke to a chap in a kitchen shop near home today and he explained why... The standard black sheen apparently has swirl like marks that looks like it's badly scratched. He had a cabinet in store done in this so we had a look and yeah.. it looked bad!! Anyhow.. I have seen a timber grain look laminate in black that sort of looks ok but have only seen it in small samples. Its a Polytec product called "Mombasa" Sheen.

We could get a Gloss Black in Createc but from what I understand it's very very expensive!!

Re: Anyone With Black Cabinets? 3May 23, 2015 6:47 pm Sorry not much help but if you are going for a woodgrain look on drawers it looks nicer in a horizontal pattern. Wish we paid to make ours horizontal! Costs a bit more but might be worth it if you use it like in the picture Re: Anyone With Black Cabinets? 4May 25, 2015 9:04 am Roomeat Building with Clarendon and they only have a plain black in a Matt finish and not in a Sheen.

When you say standard black sheen what are you talking about?? I haven't come across a product that has swirl like marks in it. Sounds like an excuse to me!!

Re: Anyone With Black Cabinets? 10May 28, 2015 9:19 pm Formica Cuban Wood Gloss - quite dark but not black although looks nice with white, we are going this bottom with white gloss top cupboards Re: Anyone With Black Cabinets? 12May 29, 2015 11:06 am xxkatxx Hahaha that's my kitchen! If you want something really dark I wouldn't recommend the cuban wood...doesn't give that effect. It does have black bits in it but overall looks grey in person. Oh wow!! Your kitchen was our inspiration for using it!! Re: Anyone With Black Cabinets? 14May 29, 2015 3:03 pm Thanks guys. Not as dark as I'm wanting but it looks great!

Re: Anyone With Black Cabinets? 17Jun 15, 2015 11:19 pm A friend has a gloss black kitchen and it looks really good. Also seen a couple of kitchen in 'Licorice Linea' -- very nice.
