Polygon Finishing - Any Clues?

[dennyon 0]

There's this ID who said that all their carpentry uses polygon as the interior instead of the normal PVC. Actually, what is this polygon thing? Anyone knows? According to what I know, it costs more, but is it better? Some say it's paper... though it doesn't sound like paper to me.

Hi,

It is actually polyken. It is the internal finishing.

I actually got to know while going to carpenter work. He explains that if those cheap-cheap cabinet usually they make use of just white pvc to cover the wood. After a few yrs, u can see the wood was just covered with a white sticker or call pvc.

Just open up a kitchen cabinet, try to feel it surface. If it is rough wif air bubbles, then the cabinet is using pvc. Usually factory price, from top to bot cabinet, per sq ft is $150. But it is polyken, then the cost is $170.

We actually got to touch the polyken & pvc surface during tat trip. Tat's when we knew the diff. Just ask ur ID to show u, but just beware of the cost..

Both are plastic lamins. Dis of PVC

1. Softer

2. Poor finish at the joint (peel off somtimes)

3. Colour turn brown (somtimes)

Questions is ?

Do u mind difference colour theme in & out.

I used mine for the kitchen Cab, not the bedroom

cos I use heavier stuff that are oily & regularly.

Then again ... cost wise...is abt $20/pfr

just work your sum...

How long have you been using this? Heard from different IDs that after some time it'll bubble. And this is especially the case for moist places, like in kitchens.

Also heard that it gets moldy after some time. What's your experience like? I mean besides the aesthetic part of the material.

My 3 yrs old kitchen cab is "NOT" PVC...

Stays good... cos I pay premium...

Only PVC ones pop up .... as some of these lamins are not machine press

Actually, I've been using PVC, and it doesn't pop either, though it gets moldy in my wardobes.

According to my understanding, the industry practice is to use PVC. Only few of them would use polygen as their standard finishing, but usually you'll have to request from the ID if you are looking at this material.
