Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 22, 2011 9:50 pm Hi everyone, I'm building in Balmoral release area, NSW with Wisdom Homes. So far so good my journey... Went to kitchen appointment yesterday, and stumbled on choices for kitchen's door. We just want white color so it will last long....but there are so many whites.. Our inclusion is Laminex in White natural finish, but I want something looks glossy like polyurethane (but can't afford), so the girl from Timpelle kitchen gave me option to choose from Formica range : which will add around $435 upgrade for the Formica Snowdrift white gloss. Is there anyone here who has used Laminex White Natural Finish or Formica Snowdrift for their kitchen ? Which one is ieasy to clean and doesn't leave stain ? Thank you all.. Re: Laminate White Natural Finish OR Formica Snowdrift gloss 2Oct 26, 2011 10:47 am I used some glossy white white but not the same brand as you. I used Polytec createc I love the look of it but I have to say it is not easy to keep clean shows every finger print, we do have a lot of windows so a lot of light on the doors at different times of the day. The white is only on the top cupboards I used a glossy finish timber look on the bottom ones , once again I love the modern look but when the daylight gets on it it shows everything, constant wiping. I think it is worth it but I don't have young children, if I did I would not have the really glossy one. It doesn't stain at all I would not think either of your choices would stain .Laminates are usually stain resistant.

I was very surprised at how minimal the difference was with them I ended upgrading the bathrooms too.

Yes, I have laminex matt finish in peach creamy colir now in my house, it's fading actually after 10 years, not as peach as before. Maybe because it's too close to windows?? But you're right, laminex is easy to clean & stain resistant. KAN, Yes I did Timpelle to quote on polyurethane too. She said poly leaves fingerprint clearly. So not that interested if I have to clean everyday... he..he... She will send me the quote soon. Thanks, Kan.. (did u get my PM yesterday?)
