Which Laminex white cabinet

Walls will be Dulux Natural white
Benchtop Essastone Chalkstone
Going for a transitional look
Oak floor as pictured
Laminex ghostgum is closest colour to benchtop but it is slightly grey and sometimes weirdly cream in colour. Will it look dirty/funny with the walls and should I choose the Laminex White or Polar White instead?

Comments (8)I've decided to go for Laminex Silk Finish polar white. We don't have children just grand kids that visit so I don't have to many finger prints to worry about....See MoreKitchen cabinets - laminex- silk or Matt?
Comments (3)Glossy finishes have improved a lot over time. Fingerprints don't seem to be as much of an issue anymore,. except for the darker colours. I had white gloss in my last place and you couldnt really see any prints but everything wiped off soooo easy. A dream!...See MoreCool white that would work with laminex Polar White kitchen cabinets
Comments (13)You can certainly go either way, cool white or warm white. I would tend to opt for a slightly warm white so there is contrast between the white elements and to warm up the room, esp given your flooring choice. What a beautiful stone you have chosen. Antique White USA or Natural White are two that spring immediately to mind. Can you upload a pic of your flooring? Which white paint colours are you considering?...See MoreLaminex Silk or natural finish in White
Comments (6)No, the silk finish is not comparable to Satin 2-pac. Also when comparing surface materials, 2-pac, vinyl and melamine all require the same technical properties to be suitable for the application. (All typically scratch at <2N pressure). 2-pac is more prone to chipping than the other two options however but gives a smoother more aesthetic finish. It is marketed as a higher-end product as it involves more labour. For this reason it is common for companies to upsell 2-pac polyurethane over more affordable materials. Now with that said, the melamine will have a glued edge-tape around it. Whilst modern edge banders can achieve a very low profile join, you may be able to see it. Especially in white. The 'Natural' finish in Laminexes melamine range is their standard matt finish and therefore comparable to satin in 2-pac. However for an ultra-matt finish you could try their absolute matte product as mentioned above. This is more fingerprint resistant and of course, more expensive. Ultimately you should view the options in person then select that which is most appealing to you within your budget. Hope that helps :)...See MoreCatherine Epping
