4.3. When placing an order for a painted kitchen please be aware of the following:-
- 4.3.1. Due to the bespoke nature of a painted product, it is not possible to cancel or return orders once they have entered the production stage or have been delivered.
- 4.3.2. Although we strive to maintain consistency, for a bespoke painted product there will be batch to batch variances and we cannot guarantee an exact colour match between orders.
- 4.3.3. We will hold the paint batch for your kitchen for 1 month from the kitchen going into production and we highly recommend you double check your order before completing to avoid any part orders or additional extras. After 1 month all batches of paint are disposed with, if you require us to order more for additional extras there will be a charge for this and again we cannot guarantee the batch variances.
- 4.3.4. Bespoke painted products are susceptible to cracking along joints. Touch-up paints are available to order.
- 4.3.5. The paint colours on our sample doors are indicative of the colours in our bespoke painted range but may not be exact due to batch variances mentioned above.
4.4. When placing an order for a oak timber kitchen please be aware of the following:-
- 4.4.1. Oak is a natural product and incorporates features such as knots and medullary rays. Different grain structures and subtle differences in hue make each piece of oak unique. We specially select our timber to give a balance between character and consistency.
4.5 As a natural product, timber is susceptible to changes in temperature, light and humidity. The timber we use to make shaker kitchen doors is thoroughly kiln dried ready for processing to minimise any movement in the timber. When painted, environmental changes can sometimes cause very slight ‘whisper lines’ in the paint along flush joints. This is normal for a timber product and won’t affect the door when in use.
4.6 We have invested in state of the art spray lines in order to achieve a high quality, furniture finish on all our painted doors. We quality check our doors to ensure consistently high standards. Doors are inspected for defects by holding at arm’s length. This is an industry standard method for checking painted timber and timber derived materials such as MDF. The reason doors are checked at arm’s length and not scrutinised close-up is that the nature of this type of product means that sometimes very small particles may be present in the lacquered surface. These tiny inclusions are normal and won’t affect the overall look of the kitchen or the durability of the door when in use.
