Hi,

Have been reading through some old posts and trying to get a feel for which would be the better product to go for (I was happy with a laminated melamine, but the husband wants a gloss finish, so vinyl or 2pac it is...).

Main issues are as follows:
- lots of past discussion on vinyl wrap delaminating, but am planning on going through a local manufacturer (Mitchell Laminates, Dingley VIC) rather than imported stuff. Plus I believe the technology has moved forward a bit so not as much of an issue? PLUS as not in kitchen near heat sources etc, might not be as big a deal? Any thoughts / comments?
- we have two narrow cover panels to be made (700mmx35mm) and they are not able to manufacture smalled than 100mm, so have said we would need to cut down to size and deal with a raw edge (which is fine as will be against a wall then tiled up to) - how easy is vinyl wrap to cut cleanly?
- only real problem I've heard with 2pac (which I'm leaning towards at the moment) is that it chips / scratches more easily - how big an issue is this in reality? The doors will be in our ensuite so won't be subjected to the kids!! Given we're only doing a small number of doors, extra cost of 2pac is not much of an issue. Oh and they're the Laminex ColourTech doors, if that makes a difference.

Appreciate any opinions to help make a decision!! Thanks!
