Hey Anita - what did you decide?

Thanks Luke... after much deliberation, and they kind of both have their pros and cons, we have settled for the polyurethane as it has a longer warranty and we'll also be able to match the kitchen cabinets to our walls colour, Lexicon Quarter

Hi Safi, i'm currently in the same dilemma - what cabinet material did you end up going with in the end? Thanks in advance!

Unless you are looking at flipping your house in the short term the question of what is in fashion today isn't really that important. What is important is the durability and lifespan of the finish, and how long until you can afford to renovate or resurface your kitchen doors. If you are planning on a renovation that has to last a long time then I would go for a product that has proven to be a durable long-stayer, that is not affected by heat and moisture. The cabinetwork doors are a key visual element of your kitchen so spend the money on making sure that they look good and last the distance. If vinyl wrap doors were less than half the price of a 2-pack finish it may be a different story, but as they are not I would go for the two-pack everytime, and get what you like, and not what fashion dictates. Today's on-trend fashionable kitchen is tomorrow's dated kitchen. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls
