Cabinet Care

You can be assured that your new kitchen cabinets have been built to last. Our kitchens are manufactured from cabinet board, which complies with British Standard BS EN 312-P2 and all cabinets are tested and pass the FIRA Gold product certification. This is the ultimate mark of product excellence within the furniture industry and provides a solid assurance that our kitchens meet all the necessary standards.

Built to withstand wear & tear

All doors, drawers fronts and cabinets have been made to withstand the normal wear and tear associated with everyday kitchen life, through it should be noted that cabinets are not resistant to water and will swell if wet, so any spillage should be dried immediately.

Cabinets are supplied on adjustable legs to cater for uneven floors and to protect against moisture ingress. Vulnerable cabinet edges are lipped to resist moisture seepage into the panels.

For general cabinet cleaning

Clean your cabinets with a slightly damp soft cloth and a little liquid soap, dry throughly.
Avoid the use of abrasive cleaner or strong chemical (such as vinegar. Any spillages should be dried immediately.
Always wipe off off any water with a soft cleaner rather than leaving it to stand. Any spillages should be dried immediately.
Avoid placing electric kettles, steamers and toasters directly below wall cabinets, and on worktop joints to minimise condensation.
We recommend that you do not use steam maps in close proximity to the cabinets.

Surface Consistency

Direct strong sunlight onto a gloss surface will potentially cause discolouration, gloss lacquered surfaces will naturally mellow in colour over a period of time.

Melamine PVC, foil and laminates are synthetic materials and so have a very stable finish, however they are liable for changes in colour over time.

Surface Consistency - Veneered Timber

Timbers and veneers are natural materials and are subject to the variations in colours and grain differences that nature promotes. All timbers feature small graining marks and knots. These are part of the timbers natural properties and do not represent faults in the door or drawer.

It is virtually impossible to guarantee a totally accurate match between timber and veneered frontals and accessories. Notwithstanding the difficulties involved, Symphony endeavours whenever possible to produce the closest match that manufacturing and finishing technology allow.

These timber variations are also apparent on our painted veneered timber doors. It should also be noted that painted products (both veneered timbered and foil wrapped doors) are subject to variations in colours/tone over time due to the effect of ultra violate light on the doors painted surface.

Free charge plugs (pack of 20) are available to cover the shelf peg holes in the inside of wall cabinets if desired. To order simply contact our additional units team on 01226 446610, ask for COVCAP5 and state the cabinet colour required.
