Matte melamine: It is the most popular choice for kitchens due to its fingerprint and stain resistance. In addition, it offers an elegant and modern look that adapts to any decoration style.
Glossy melamine: It brings a touch of glamor and luminosity to the kitchen. It is ideal for small spaces, as it reflects light and creates a feeling of spaciousness. However, it is more susceptible to marks and scratches, so it requires more care.
Textured melamine: Imitates the texture of natural materials such as wood or stone. It is an excellent option to create a warm and cozy atmosphere in the kitchen. Additionally, it is resistant to wear and stains, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
Melamine with high gloss: Similar to glossy melamine, but with an even more intense shine. It is ideal for modern and minimalist kitchens. However, it is important to note that marks and scratches will be more visible on this type of melamine.
Melamine for kitchen according to its use:
Melamine for countertops: It must be resistant to heat, stains, scratches and humidity. In this case, it is recommended to choose high-density melamine with a special finish for countertops.
Melamine for furniture doors: Available in a wide variety of colors, textures and finishes. You can choose smooth melamine, embossed, with printed designs or even imitations of wood or metal.
Melamine for drawer fronts: Between the front materials, it is recommended to choose a melamine that is resistant to wear and humidity. Melamines with a matte or textured finish are a good option for drawer fronts.

Endurance: Choose a melamine that is resistant to wear and tear, especially for heavy-duty areas such as the countertop or drawer fronts.

Color and texture: Choose a color and texture that you like and that matches the rest of the kitchen. Please note that natural and artificial light can affect the color of melamine.
