Propaint pre-primed edging is quickly becoming the go-to choice for joinery professionals who demand high-quality finishes. Whether it’s for kitchens, bathroom cabinets, or wardrobe doors, Propaint offers unmatched durability and ease of use.
It’s been flying off the shelves for many years now, and for good reason. We thought, why not get the inside scoop from those who know this product like the back of their hand? So, we reached to a couple of “experts in their field” to see what they’ve got to say about Propaint, and here’s what we found out:
Mark Benton’s Verdict: A Furniture Finisher’s Dream.
We first caught up with Christchurch-based furniture finisher and all-around top bloke, Mark Benton, the mastermind behind B & W Furniture Finishing. Back in 2021, we asked him where he reckons Propaint shines the brightest.
“It does and would work well in kitchens, bathroom cabinets, bookcases, open shelving units, island back panels, wardrobe doors, and laundry joinery,” says Mark.
Now, you might be thinking, “Surely there’s a catch?” But no, Mark’s got nothing but love for Propaint. “I would rate the performance as excellent and highly superior to work with compared to customwood edging,” he continues. So, there you have it – if Propaint were a person, it’d be the one who always returns your lawnmower in better condition than when they borrowed it.
Tony Kelly’s Take: Mid to high-end Joinery.
Next, we had a chat with Tony Kelly, the Director at Contemporano, an Auckland-based manufacturing partner who’s got his fingers in all sorts of pies across the North Island, particularly with mid to high-end joiners and cabinet makers.
“All our clients’ lacquered projects are now done in Propaint. We are seeing an increasing demand for it from new clients,” Tony tells us. And let’s face it, who wouldn’t want a bit of that sweet, sweet demand?
Tony, never one to shy away from the details, goes on to say, “As a preference, we will only use PUR glue on Propaint. With a thinner, near-invisible glue line, the end results are great and seem to be a lot more durable than any alternatives currently available.” So, not only does
Propaint play nice with glue, but it also brings a level of durability that makes the competition look like they’re running a three-legged race.
