Fingerprintless doors

[tanneja]

We were det on DIY kitchen for our order, and got some matt door samples sent to clairfy colour.  We were a bit disapponted by how prominant fingerprints were when you touched the door. We do intend profile handles but you usually push the door slab to close.

 

What brands of kitchen will have minimal to no fingerprint on their matt finish? Howdens so a super matt which seems to claim no fingerprint.  Plan to go to one tomorrow to hopefully see an example.

 

Is there anything else I should be looking at?

I've got matt finish handleless doors from DIY kitchens and haven't noticed fingerprints with clean hands, get the odd one if I've a bit of grease/oil from cooking on, but it easily wipes off. Maybe the sample hasn't got a good coat of paint on it?

 @MikeGrahamT21 maybe, it seems that touching in normal room environment leaves quite noticable condensation  type marks (I'm no expert obviously). It is a dark (carbon) supposedly matt finish. 

 

This is with clean hands, but very streaky for minimal handling.

The dark colour won't help, but I guess if thats the one you want. Be wary on the door position, stand it upright and see if its an issue, as this will be how it is in use.
