Planning to design your kitchen in style? make sure to carefully choose your door finishing that matches with the kitchen interiors. There are several finishes available in Karachi market to choose from, Let’s have a look at the prominent ones.
POLYESTER COATING
Polyester coating is the most popular material used by Karachiites to give their kitchen door a classy modern look. Not only does it give a perfect finish to your door, but the coating also goes a long way, and you don’t have to worry about giving annual fresh-up touches. Any scratch can be easily removed from the material by rubbing polish on it. Its pigmentation is so durable that it’s difficult to break.
You can select a variety of colors of polyester coating, however, it is recommended not to use white color as it fades after a period due to the polyester mutation. Once polished, this coating looks brand new as it’s usually coated on M.D.F (Medium Density Fiber) or H.D.F (High Density Fiber) for extra coverage.
P.V.C LAMINATION
You probably would have heard a lot about P.V.C lamination as its used frequently and is available in a variety of colors. The finishing of this coating is available in matt and gloss, but it is not much recommended by experts. Reason being, it can be easily scratched, peeled off and heat and water intolerant.

GLASS DOORS
Glass Doors offer a luxurious look to your kitchen and make the whole area look expensive. It is important to note that pasting M.D.F material directly on glass is not applicable as the glass is heavy and can be peeled off.
