Kitchen Doors
Kitchen doors are a component of paramount importance in the kitchen affecting both the visual appeal of the kitchen and the longevity or service life of the kitchen.
Danish Designer Kitchens in Sydney offer a number of options for kitchen doors but maintain strict standards of what materials and processes are acceptable.
If solid colours are the preferred finish then modern polyurethane finishes are hard to beat. If more of a natural finish is preferred then timber veneer doors or solid timber doors may suit better. There are precautions you should be aware of with polyurethane. Most kitchen companies offer polyurethane doors but they are not producing them correctly. If the coating applied is not a high build coating, then the door will not stand the test of time, particularly with knocks and bumps as a thin coating will chip and scratch easily.
Danish Designer Kitchens spray their doors with a high build coating system that includes "balancing" the doors by coating both sides of the kitchen door. Coating both sides with high build coating is necessary due to the followng reasons:
If you have a thick coating of polyurethane on one face of the door and the white melamine backing on the other, then doors warp due to the different thermal expansion properties of each material. This becomes a great test for those looking around to find quality kitchen builders. If the doors are evenly coated on both sides with proper film thickness, the doors will last. If not, beware!
A common industry option is vacuum formed doors which many companies really push. Danish Designer Kitchens stay well clear of these doors as there are so many problems associated with its use, a warranty could not even be given to such doors.(There is much litigation and dispute due to delaminating of the vinyl film around these doors).
For more information on kitchen doors, contact a Danish Designer Kitchens consultant or visit the showroom to inspect the noticeable difference that high quality production brings.
