Espresso thermofoil, painted white
- Thermofoil
- Espresso → white
An espresso thermofoil kitchen in Brossard, July 2026. The thermofoil film was removed, and the MDF doors underneath were primed and sprayed white instead of being replaced.
Thermofoil is often written off as “replace only”. This one was refinished instead.
