Solid wood kitchens (unfinished in colour, supplied in raw state)
Kitchen units that are supplied unfinished and ready to paint or varnish will need to be sealed prior to use, either by painting or varnishing, it is recommended to do this fairly soon after fitting / delivery to reduce any movement in the wood. Our manufacturing process implements measures to allow for it but movement is a natural occurance in solid wood furniture and it is remotely possible that adjustments over time may need addressing.
Painted Wooden Kitchens (A few notes to bear in mind)
The finish of paint on solid wood is not a completely flat finish like you would expect to find on a plastic coated kitchen, the spray finish that we apply is generally smoother than applying with a brush or roller but there are limitations due to the fact that we are painting what is technically a living and maturing material.
There will be characteristics over time of grain that will become more apparent as the wood ages and moves through the seasons. Please make sure that this is the look that you are happy with.
Advantages to a Solid wood painted kitchen
As with any other painted wood it can be scuffed or knocked over time, saying this having a solid wood painted kitchen has got what we think a huge advantage over time because there is the ability to be able to touch up knocks and scuffs and also if you wanted to completely change the colour it can be re-painted over easily because the existing colour can act as it’s basecoat.
Extra considerations on purchasing a solid wood kitchen
A solid wood kitchen can not always be free from future maintenance, like any wood product over season changes it can expand and contract slightly, we do allow for these tolerances within manufacture of the kitchen units but different exposure due to placement, storing of cabinets when delivered e.t.c. can have different impacts over time, the benefit to it being solid wood is that this can be adjusted if it should occur.
Please note: Due to natural properties of oils within pine wood it can occasionaly occur in a painted finish to have slight knott bleed which can be seen through the paint colour, even though we take all modern attempts to reduce this we cannot guarantee against it occuring over time.
Usually this is a slight yellowing of the area where the knotts are situated. This is not considered a manufacturing defect, it is a natural effect due to applying paint to an ever maturing solid wood. No wooden products are stain or heat resistant, although a painted product offers slightly greater protection.
