Melteca is a tough melamine surface laminated to Lake Pine medium density fibre board (M.D.F.) to provide a double faced, pre-finished decorative panel. Melteca is available in two different textured finishes and a range of colours and wood grains.

Stainless steel is highly durable, heat and stain resistant but it’s easy to leave scratches on it (although the patina of scratches gives depth to the surface over time and they come to provide a depth to the benchtop). Mid-range in price, Stainless steel gives kitchens a strong, modern and functional feel.

Of all the more popular benchtop materials timber is probably the least utilitarian. It can look particularly good in a period or country kitchen yet there are designers who create great effects in contemporary kitchens.

PVC is one of the best known and most common plastics used for the manufacture of edge bandings. High impact resistant edge bandings for the furniture industry have been manufactured from PVC for over 40 years.
PVC is available from our standard stock range and special production facilities in a varied range of colours, textures, thickness and widths. The colour selection is based on the most popular finishes used in NZ with specific focus on co-ordination with our door ranges. The benefits of PVC edging include: high resistance to damage/cracking, higher resistance to UV fading than melamine, high resistance to scratching, resistance to most solvents and chemicals, strong resistance to temperature, wide choice of colours & finishes and with a more tactile & quality feel.

This is traditionally the most commonly used kitchen worktop protection and it is available in endless patterns, textures and colours. The development of new benchtop products such as Engineered Stone has had a positive influence on the laminate industry. New laminates are being launched providing depth and texture for a new luxurious look. Better abrasion resistant surfaces are being engineered to provide improved wear and scratch resistance. A wider range of edge finishes can be achieved, such as tight radius bending “Tight-Roll” simulating an Engineered Stone edge appearance. HPL is comparatively inexpensive, is non porous, resists staining and is easy to clean. Although the surface is less scratch resistant, with normal care the benchtop will last for many years.

An undermount stainless steel kitchen sink can be described as the style of sink wherein the basin is mounted under the benchtop. Commonly known as recessed sink, this style is gaining popularity amongst the masses. Undermount sinks are available in a host of materials, including fashionable copper sinks and solid surface material sinks. Amongst the wide variety of materials, the most common is stainless steel. It is the most suitable option for people who are looking forward to remodel their kitchen. Undermount sinks are a low-profile enhancement to the kitchen, allowing for the clearest view of the expanse of benchtop. Undermount sinks are most often used with high-end benchtops to preserve the visual flow of the granite or marble patterns.

Supremo Kitchens uses Mirotone 5650 2-pot paint which consists of 50% paint to 50% hardener to give you the most durable paint available.Lacquer doors are generally made from MDF or preferably moisture resistant MDF. They can be plain or profiled. The raw door is sanded and painted, usually with a 2-pot lacquer. The resulting paint coating can be in a variety of gloss finishes or matt. 2-pot lacquer is quite tough but it is still only paint. The hardness and durability will be much higher that polyurethane but less hard that that of your car.

Advantages of lacquering are that you can have any colour you like to fit in with your overall colour scheme. You also get a choice of gloss finishes from high gloss to satin. Disadvantages are that it can suffer scratching and damage, which is expensive to repair, and it might be tricky to match the colour in future, especially after fading.

Wood has always been a popular choice for kitchen doors. If you choose wood, you will have a choice of solid wood or wood veneer. The latter is cheaper and more stable, less prone to movement. Wood is a natural material and solid wood doors are likely to respond to weather, humidity and temperature. Wood mellows over time, becoming richer in colour and darker in hue.

Wood (or timber) doors can be given a number of finishes from traditional oiling to high gloss varnish. It can also be painted in any colour and gloss finish. There are specialist finishers who can produce a limed, colour-washed or even distressed finish. Advantages of wood are mostly to do with the look and feel. If you like natural products and want a traditional feel to the kitchen, then wood could be for you.

Wood can be subject to damage of course, but it can be easily repaired. Scratches for instance can be sanded out and touched up with furniture oil or varnish. An older kitchen can develop a very homely look as the timber mellows and the natural signs of wear and tear give it the distressed appearance that some people actually pay for at the outset.

Natural Stone is considered the top of the range choice for kitchen benchtops, with GRANITE as the most commonly used material, chosen for its proven durability and lasting value. GRANITE benchtops are available in polished and matte finishes, are heat, scratch and wear resistant, but require sealing to prevent staining.Engineered Stone
This is a composite product which uses granite chips as its main component and adds resins to create a uniform stone surface. It is non porous, has good scratch, heat and stain resistant properties and does not require additional sealing. 

Solid Surface
Solid Surface is a composite product which uses acrylic and/or polyester polymers as its main component and includes colorants and stone chips to create a homogenous, non porous surface. The surface is lesser scratch, heat and stain resistant, but easier to repair.

Concrete
Concrete is strong, moldable, heat and scratch resistant but requires sealing to prevent staining. It’s heavy, so requires good bracing, but gives a kitchen a strong bold statement and fits in with modern decors.

Overmount installation is designed to be built-in over the kitchen surface worktop, giving a unique combination of both old and new finishes to your kitchen.
