exige 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Hi just wondering if anyone use laminate or fomica for their kitchen cabinet and the color is WHITE?Does it turn yellow over time due to sun and wear and tear?I was told using laminate would keep the WHITE color and not turn yellow due to sun.Please advise..Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunBun 5 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Uh.. I thought laminates need to be maintained? After all any contact with water can easily cause slight warping at the edges?? I also have white cabinets but as for how lasting, only time will tell since I've only moved in so can't really tell how long it'd will last Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheekybee 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Hi exige..My mum has fully white kitchen laminate cabinets, top and bottom! It has been more than 5 yrs since moving in and she cooks quite often. So far, no probs leh...and she doesn't wipe them often...probably every half yr or so...everybody who comes to our house always comment that she maintain them very well...hee... !! If you see fingerprints or grease...just spray a little magicclean or what...then wipe off with a paper towel...very easy to maintain...!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
