Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is this enamel suitable for kitchen cabinets?
A: It is suitable for low-traffic wooden cabinets, but for high moisture and heat exposure (like near a stove), consider the superior durability of the Apcolite Premium Enamel range.
Q: Can I use this for exterior gates?
A: It can be used, but for long-term exterior durability against harsh sun and rain, Apcolite Premium Gloss Enamel or a PU system is recommended for enhanced weather resistance.
Q: What is the difference between this and Apcolite Enamel?
A: Apcolite offers superior washability, gloss retention, and toughness due to higher quality resins, making it a better long-term investment, especially for high-traffic areas.
