Selecting a Finish For Your Kitchen
As a place of high activity, the kitchen is an ideal place to be bold with adventurous and interesting colour combinations.
The choice of finish used determines the level of sheen, so the look and feel of the space is an important consideration. Matt and eggshell finishes are classically beautiful when paired with wooden countertops and stone flooring, whilst a sleek high gloss finish can look striking and contemporary. Our Intelligent Paints are the ideal choice for kitchens, being water-based, hard-wearing, totally washable, environmentally friendly and easy to apply they are available in all colours.
For specific areas where steam or splashing may occur, our Intelligent Eggshell or Intelligent Satin finishes are perfect because they are formulated to resist moisture and can withstand cleaning on a regular basis.
For kitchen cabinets which receive a lot of daily wear and tear it’s important to select a hard-wearing, washable finish such as our Intelligent Satin, this high quality mid-sheen paint cures to a strong finish which will withstand the knocks of a busy home.
For walls, the alternative Intelligent Matt is a low sheen paint, preferred where the walls will need to be wipeable rather than washable.
When renovating a kitchen there are often many differing surfaces which need to be given a new life in colour, commonly kitchen cabinetry and furniture as well as tiles and melamine will be subject to a coat of paint. There's no need to be phased about preparation, our Intelligent Paints can now be painted direct from the tin onto almost any surface in the home, with no requirement for a separate primer.
