Polytec & Laminex Kitchen Materials – Sydney
At Sydney Cabinetry by InsideOut Joinery, we design and manufacture custom kitchens using high-quality Polytec and Laminex boards, benchtops, and decorative panels. From matte, woodgrain and textured finishes through to ultra-premium polyurethane doors, we build durable, easy-to-clean kitchens tailored to Sydney homes in the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, Western Sydney and surrounding areas.
Choosing the Right Material for Your Kitchen
The material you select for your doors, panels and benchtops will determine how your kitchen looks, feels and performs over time. We combine moisture-resistant substrates with quality laminates and finishes to suit busy households, investment properties and high-end architectural builds.
During your design consultation we will show you physical samples of Polytec and Laminex ranges, explain the pros and cons of each option, and recommend combinations that match your budget, style and cleaning requirements.

Polytec vs Laminex – What’s the Difference?
Polytec
Extensive range of melamine, thermolaminate, Venette and Woodmatt finishes, ideal for modern, handleless and feature timber kitchens. Popular choices include warm woodgrains, soft mattes and realistic textured profiles.
Laminex
Trusted Australian brand with durable laminate and decorative board options. Great for family kitchens that need impact resistance, easy cleaning and a wide selection of solid colours and stone looks.
Our Recommendation
We often mix both brands in one project – for example, Polytec Woodmatt doors with a Laminex benchtop. This lets you get the best balance of appearance, durability and cost for your kitchen.
