Polytec Questions & Answers

Which polytec white sheen cupboards go well with intense white caesorstone bench tops

Good morning,
Our kitchen is about 15 years old. Obviously polytec panels that we are very happy with apart from one.
The cover is starting to come away in what looks like glue is giving away. Any thoughts please.

Hi I'm doing my new kitchen and I'm choosing Polytec melamine Bottega Oak wood Matt, is this a good choice or I'm going to have issues with cleaning and fingerprints as most of the comments, also will this be suitable for laundry and bathrooms or the water and moisture will affect it. Thanks

Is a polytec boston oak or buller stone more suitable for vanity benchtop re keeping clean . Polar white sheen looks promising but wonder about scratches and water marks thanks

Hello, we are having trouble choosing which "black" finish for our new dream kitchen. We want all the cupboards and doors the same. We like the look & feel of Venette, however it has been suggested that oily marks imprint and cannot be removed. Would appreciate some advice on what wears better for marks and fingerprints in the entire range. Our preference is a matt finish but if a textured or gloss finish fairs better please suggest.

Thank you.

I was told to clean my venette fingerprint proof kitchen doors with soapy water.....BUT ...it doesn't clean it.....even water stains are visible especially when the light hits the doors in the right angle.
It's so upsetting....after spending all that money on it ....and it's so annoying when you are cleaning it all the time

my cabinet maker has been telling you have huge backlog for benchtops. it has been over three months, and you still cant tell him what will be estimated delivery time. it utterly unprofessional, especially the color is in stock

I have vanette kitchen cupboards and just won't clean. Need to know a product to use.

Hi. We are remodeling our Kitchen and we plan on using the Ultraglaze Artic White for our cupboards doors, but i am concerned about the number of complaints about yellowing, has this been fixed, or what you recommend as the best finish.

Hi, we've just built a new house and used polytec on our kitchen cupboards and draws in the veneer white and a grey to avoid finger prints. Unfortunately I can't get marks and dirt off my white that my children leave. I've used the soft cloth and warm detergent but nothing is coming off. The finger marks on the grey is annoying too. I've looked up the care and maintenance and that's what it said to do. I rang Polytec and all they could say was look online to our care and maintenance. Some cleaning advice would be great. The kick boards are bad too as there the same as the cupboards.

I have already had a white gloss Polytec kitchen and laundry replaced under warranty for extreme yellowing after 2yrs. I am having the same devastatingly having the problem with the replacement.
Has anyone experienced this. I am desperate for help.

I have just removed the peel off protective plastic on my hi gloss black kitchen cupboards. Some "residue" is still on some of the edges.. what is the safest way to clean/remove this please?
Thanks
Karen

Has anyone worked out how to remove fingerprints from venette cupboards?

Hi has anyone built their kitchen cabinets using Oxford blue thermo can you please let us know how this product is? We are in the process of knock down rebuild and our builder has suggested this product. After reading all the review above I am quite concerned about our choices as our kitchen overhead, island, pantry, granny flat and laundry has got all polytec thermo oxford cabinets. Please advice

I am considering installing Polytec wardrobes. After reading the often poor reviews of kitchens I am wondering what if any issues have been found with wardrobes. Are there any reviews for wardrobes?

We are planning our kitchen and other cabinetry in a new build. Our cabinet-maker prefers Polytec to Laminex, so we've ordered samples and chosen a range of possibilities. However after reading the comments in this forum, I'm very concerned and now don't want to use Polytec unless I can be convinced that Laminex doesn't offer a better alternative.

I am thinking of having upper cabinetry venette oxford slimline no handles
and Angora oak woodmatt as lower cabinetry with casserstone bench top Calcutta Euro,looking at reviews, i am not sure that choosing a dark mattwood colour, is the best choose, reviews state that they are hard to clean@ fingerprint marks are very visible and hard to clean, can you recommend a better choice, i do prefer the dark @ light contrast, much appreciate you opinion thank you.

Hi everyone. In two weeks I will need to make a final decision on both, material and color for my new kitchen. I was considering to go thermolaminate Greige matt for cabinets and laminate Argento Stone Matt for the benchtop. The top cabinets would have no handles (shark tooth), and the bottom cabinets and drawers would have handles. I am hoping to have a practical, easy cleaning kitchen. Now, reading all those reviews above, I am really worried about my choices. Hopefully I still have some time to completely change my mind so I would much appreciate some advice.
Also, if someone did the same choice for colors (cabinets & benchtop), could them please tell me if the colors match? Thanks.

Hi we have chosen the Nataio walnut woodmatt finish for our new kitchen cabinets and after reading this thread, we are concerned of the marking like grease and finger marks to be very visible. Should we go for a different product range?
