John Lewis of Hungerford’s Paint Finishes Most Durable
Saturday, September 4th, 2010
Kitchen specialist John Lewis of Hungerford really can boast it offers the best-painted finish in the kitchen industry, after its Gloss paints were independently tested and awarded the highest rating available.
It’s official – independent tests declare:…
In tests by the Satra Technology Centre, the Gloss paint finish that the company specialises in, scored the maximum of 5 points in all 17 categories, from resistance to wet and dry heat to marking by liquids, oils and solvents, which means they are certified for ‘severe usage’, the highest possible rating.
The finish is suitable for commercial, industrial and professional kitchen environments, making the doors of the Crème de la Crème and Cool ranges the hardest wearing painted doors in the world of kitchens.
The paint finishes are applied by John Lewis of Hungerford’s expert team, based at the Wantage workshop and incorporate up to 13 separate stages, completed with hand burnishing.
The specialist uses the latest, most advanced formula available to create this expert finish, which has been developed with decades of professional knowledge and regular independent testing.
Featured here is the Cool Kitchen – a clean, modern design:
- High gloss finished kitchens were sold originally by John Lewis of Hungerford during the early eighties.
- In recent years these modern classics have made a huge comeback due to the popularity of the clean, glossy lines.
- This Cool kitchen is finished in Piano Gloss, Pure White and is enhanced with rich Walnut worktops and wrap around worktop, above a wine chiller.
- The Piano Gloss, Noir, Cool Refrigerator, is an ideal freestanding element and completes the classic working triangle, between the cooker and sink in the island.
Not only does the company offer its own collection of over 90 beautiful colours, but with excellent results in the recent testing, combined with improved processes and the application of an additional primer hardening agent, the specialist’s kitchens and furniture really are the best they have ever produced.
