PU, done properly.
One finish rather than twenty. Polyurethane is what we spray, cure and polish in our own booth, so it is the surface we will stand behind at arm's length and under a client's hand.
PU
Polyurethane paint, sprayed onto a prepared substrate and cured, then flatted and polished. The result is a continuous surface with real depth of colour and no visible edge banding.
Specify PU when the client will stand close to it. It holds a colour match, it takes both a high gloss and a true matte, and the edge reads as part of the panel rather than as a strip applied to it.
Where it wins
- Flat and grooved fronts where surface quality is the whole point
- Colour matched to a client reference
- High gloss, where any unevenness would show
- Seamless edges with no banding line
Gloss or matte, and they are not the same decision.
A finish is chosen twice: once for colour, and once for how much light it gives back. That second choice is the one that gets made carelessly, and it is the one a client notices.
A shutter is a surface and an infill.
The finish covers the panel. What sits inside the aluminium frame is a separate call, and on a sliding front it changes the weight, the price and how the room reads.
If a project needs a surface we do not spray ourselves, say so in the enquiry. We would rather source it and tell you we sourced it than pretend the booth did it.
Send a drawing and we will tell you what the surface wants.
Including the cases where the sheen you have specified will fight the room it is going into.
