Comments (7)You are more than welcome Teresa, glad I can help. I can now completely understand why changing the panels would be a real hassle - it would essentially be taking the kitchen apart and reinstalling. As the panels are Wenge effect then painting will not be an issue at all. Just make sure you give them a good clean and wipe over with sugar soap before applying any primer/light sanding. If you are struggling to get a good colour match to the doors - it might be worth hunting down a company that specialises in paint colour matching. Explain to them that you are looking to paint end panels I'm assuming they are laminated/MFC and they should be able to guide you on what base would be best as well as the prep work involved to make sure the panels are as hardwearing as they can be. I think a pop of pink would be fabulous! That's the beauty of making the kitchen your own and adding colour with accessories - you can have what you love and if you change your mind years down the line you won't have to redo the whole kitchen. What sort of pink are you thinking? Do you have any artwork in the kitchen that has a small amount of pink that you could tie in? With the colour palette you have any kind of pink would work well in there, from a nice dusty rose, blush pink to a hot pink (if you are daring enough).

Comments (7)Hi Yasmin, I'm pleased they have got in contact and confirmed they will be out to rectify for you. I am no expert on beading and laminate flooring however my understanding is that if a neat skirting to skirting finish cannot be achieved then either a 45 degree cut should be made and an adjoining piece should be fixed and connected to achieve a 'flush' run or otherwise there's something called 'quarter round' which is a type of return. (See attached picture as my explanation isn't the best). With regards to installing, they can either be installed with a sealant/adhesive or pins. It depends on what the installer uses. No doubt the installer chose to use pins so the floor can 'breathe' woods of all types expand etc so it will allow for airflow which you most likely wouldn't get using an adhesive and sealant. If you feel the pins against the white are unsightly it would be worth checking with the installer to see what he suggests - it could be using a white enamel based paint to disguise or filler but this would depend on how far the pins go in and I personally wouldn't want to knock them in any further at the risk of causing damage. Please let us know how you get on with the remedial work. Kind regards, Charlie Covey Kitchens www.coveykitchens.co.uk...See MoreMS
