Black laminate.

12 years ago

Would the black laminate be easy to keep clean? It looks great with the timber.

Hi Robbie,
We chose laminate with a satin finish rather than gloss or matte which makes it easier to keep clean - it doesn't show streaks as much. Having said that, black is certainly not the easiest of colours to keep looking good. It needs to be cleaned with a non-streaking cleaner to give the best finish.
Cheers,
Auhaus
