Should you buy a FENIX kitchen?
When you are buying a new kitchen, you need it to be made from the best materials, as well as constructed expertly. If you go to a showroom selling mid-to-high-end German or Italian kitchens, they will often sell FENIX kitchens.
So what are the advantages and disadvantages of buying a FENIX kitchen?
Advantages of a FENIX kitchen:
Soft to the touch
The material is soft to the touch, much like a lacquered door — one of the higher quality finishes.
Very durable
Fenix kitchen doors are very durable. They are a lot more durable than lacquered kitchen doors. Therefore, they are highly resistant to scratches and almost impossible to chip.
Self healing
In the unlikely even that do scratch a FENIX door, it is self healing. So, to remove light scratches, all you need is place a cloth over the scratches and run a warm iron over it. The scratches then disappear.
Fingerprint proof
One of the downsides of buying a dark coloured kitchen, particularly a black kitchen, is fingerprints. Fortunately, FENIX kitchen doors are highly resistant to fingerprints.
Hygienic
FENIX kitchen doors are also more hygienic than most alternatives. This is because they are made out of a non-porous material, meaning that they tend not to harbour germs.
Can create a seamless finish with matching FENIX worktops
If you’re looking for a seamless finish, you can pair your FENIX kitchen with matching FENIX worktops.
Disadvantages
A FENIX kitchen is going to be high quality, attractive and long lasting, but of course everything comes with disadvantages. These are as follows.
Cost
Most of the less expensive German and Italian kitchen brands do not offer FENIX kitchens. Therefore, if you want a FENIX kitchen, you will have to buy it from one of the more expensive German or Italian brands.
Also, a FENIX kitchen will always cost more than a laminate or lacquered laminate kitchen. In most German and Italian ranges, FENIX kitchens are in price groups 4, 5 or 6. In contrast, laminate and lacquered laminate kitchens are in price groups 0, 1 or 2. Therefore, a FENIX kitchen will always cost at least 20% more than a laminate or lacquered laminate kitchen.
Visible edging
The other downside of FENIX doors is that sometimes the edging is visible. In contrast, if you go for a fully lacquered door with a rounded edge, you will not see any edging.
Limited colour choice
While laminate, lacquered laminate and lacquered doors come in a wide variety of colours, FENIX kitchen doors usually have a much more limited palette. If none of the colours available are what you are looking for, this could be a problem.
