Inset white cabinet & farmhouse sink. Paint chipping?
Comments (6)Although I don't have an apron sink, I end up dripping water that spills down the face of the sink cabinet. While a drip rail for a new kitchen sounds like a good idea, for an existing one, is there anything to do aside from being more careful? An apron sink, does it make the drip-down-the-sink-cabinet problem worse for some reason? Just curious about that point. Thank you....See MorePainted white cabinets- how much wear and tear after 3 months?
Comments (7)Mine are white, and we have been living with them about three months. I don't have the issues you do from daily wear. I had an issue when we moved in when one of the last trades (not sure who) in the house before we moved back had made some long, deep gouges across the cab panel short end of the island. The gouges didn't damage the paint, strangely enough, but you could see it the indentations. Our painters had to come back and paint the pantry door and trim near the island so they bondo-ed the damage and re-painted it along with everything else. On the cleanup sink base, the caulk where the shaker moulding meets the flat panel is ripping apart. I don't know why. I don't spill water on the cabs at the sink so it's not from water damage. Maybe it's the weight of the sink itself? Not sure. No visible dings in the paint yet, despite two young and active kids and three young and psycho cats. No paint wearing off anywhere. My cabs are custom and were only painted with BM Satin Impervo without any type of protection over that. Do you have some pictures of the damage you could post? I was worried about not having a baked on factory finish! I'm sorry you're experiencing this....See MorePaint chipping off of white cabinets
Comments (8)As the original owner (purchaser) you have definite warranty rights here. Medallions says it stands by their cabinet finish if not induced by usual and customary wear and tear. Did you notice any scratches on installation or any chipping then? Do you feel this is above and beyond usual wear? Chipping is relatively rare so early, so something doesn't seem right. I agree with previous poster, could you post a few photos? And by all means, contact your seller and put them on notice that you feel there is a beyond normal wear problem within on year of purchase. Goodnews, I think, is Medallion is a good company, widely used, not small. So if you can take any encouragement from this post, it's call, explain, document, invite a representative out. Maybe there was a problem with the finish coat on your cabinets. Medallion is known for their conversion varnish satin finish, especially White Icing, there most commonly used white. I'm hoping for a timely investigation and resolution for you....See MorePlease keep my Chip in your thoughts
Comments (89)I feel your heartache. I had a daughter with severe asthma, it breaks your heart for sure. BTW she is 31 years old, still has it, but it is much better controlled when she became an adult....See Moreandersons21
