High Gloss Laminate Vs Acrylic

And they add a visual appeal to your kitchen.

High gloss laminate vs acrylic.

A premium high gloss option acrylic is the preferred option for high end kitchens. It can add visual space and an inviting appeal to your kitchen while laminates are available in glossy options these are not as reflective as an acrylic finish. Acrylic cabinets are preferred for high end kitchens with a gloss finish. It has an extremely smooth texture and gives your cabinets a mirror like appearance.

Laminates have less gloss in comparison to acrylic. Acrylic finish is also non toxic and is in fact quite similar to lacquer. Matching edge bands are not available for the entire range and personally that has been one of my biggest complaints with the laminate manufacturers. Also as with acrylic the use of hi gloss laminates is limited to plane straight line applications.

Therefore matte finish laminates which are comparatively maintenance free are often preferred for the kitchen. Laminate cabinets are also available in gloss finish but the look is dull less reflective and less striking as compared to acrylic cabinets. Hi gloss laminates do catch finger marks as well as scratches like other hi gloss surfaces. Acrylic cabinets with premium high gloss finish are the preferred option for high end kitchens as it can add visual space and an appealing interest hence increasing the décor value of the kitchen.
