Joinery Finishes
Each home and project is unique, which is why we provide a variety of high-quality finishes to match your style, durability requirements, and budget. Whether you desire a sleek modern look, a warm natural feel, or a completely customised finish. Each finish brings its own character and benefits, giving you the flexibility to choose the look that best fits your space and personal aesthetic
Melamine
​Melamine is a durable, versatile finish ideal for modern living, made from a hard‑wearing decorative surface bonded to a moisture‑resistant board and available in a huge range of colours, textures, and realistic woodgrains. People choose melamine for its excellent everyday durability, easy maintenance, consistent colour and texture, and wide variety of design options. It’s also the most cost‑effective finish, offering a stylish and reliable look without stretching the budget.
Timber Veneer
Timber veneer is a natural, warm finish that brings real timber character into your space, created by applying a thin layer of genuine timber to a stable substrate so you get the beauty of natural grain without the movement or cost of solid timber. People choose veneer for its authentic timber look and feel, its unique grain patterns where no two panels are the same and the warmth and texture it adds to any room. Veneer typically falls into a mid to high‑range budget, as pricing varies depending on the species selected and the finishing required, offering a premium natural aesthetic while remaining more cost‑effective than solid timber or some fully painted finishes.
Polyurethane Painted
Polyurethane is a premium painted finish that delivers a seamless, custom look, created by applying a high‑quality painted coating in a controlled spray environment for a smooth, durable result in any colour and sheen you choose. People love polyurethane for its fully customisable colour options, and its ability to create detailed routed profiles like Shaker or V‑groove, giving cabinetry a sleek, high‑end appearance. It sits in the premium budget range, reflecting the labour, preparation, and precision required to achieve a flawless painted finish
Melamine, timber veneer, and polyurethane painted finishes each offer their own advantages depending on the look, durability, and budget you’re aiming for. Melamine is the most cost‑effective option, providing a durable, easy‑care surface in a wide range of colours and realistic textures. Timber veneer offers the warmth and character of real timber with unique grain patterns and the ability to stain, sitting in the mid to high‑range budget depending on the species selected. Polyurethane painted is the premium choice, delivering a smooth, fully custom finish in any colour or sheen and allowing for detailed profiles like Shaker or V‑groove. All three are high‑quality options — the difference comes down to materials, customisation, and the level of labour involved.
