Re: Laminex silk finish 3Apr 10, 2012 12:46 pm caz_770 It's restricted to a few colours only. Though they're generally the more popular colours and you do still get a good choice of colours. Thanks, will try to have a look and maybe change selection. Re: Laminex silk finish 4Apr 11, 2012 5:17 pm Smarty pants caz_770 It's restricted to a few colours only.

How much extra do you have to pay for silk finish? Re: Laminex silk finish 5Apr 11, 2012 10:17 pm Our builder included ours for no extra charge. Our building thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=53911 Laminex silk finish 7Apr 12, 2012 12:07 am I was told by my sales rep, that it was included as standard, then got to pre-start and was told that the Formica gloss panels were included as standard, but laminex silk finish was a $370 upgrade for the whole house.

Re: Laminex silk finish 8Apr 12, 2012 12:11 am what's the difference (quality and price) between Silk and Crystal Gloss? They look same to me - shiny Laminex silk finish 9Apr 12, 2012 12:32 am From what I have seen and from what I have been told: 1) Crystal gloss is high gloss and Silk finish is more of a semi-gloss. 2) Crystal gloss scratches easily and silk gloss, not so much. Apparently my builder did a scratch test with keys to compare Formica Gloss vs Laminex Silk Finish.... Which was how they justified it being an upgrade. 3) It's my understanding that Crystal Gloss is only available in certain colours for bench tops only, while Silk Finish is available in panel "colours" only. I think the Laminex website outlines the differences between the two, actually.
