AFTER INSTALLATION
After your cabinets have been installed, wipe down exteriors with a clean damp cloth, working on a
small area at a time. Be sure to wipe thoroughly dry. Protection can be added by using a commercially
available polish. An emulsion type polish such as Pledge Revitalizing Oil is formulated without
silicones, petroleum solvents or wax to prevent build-up that dulls your cabinet finish and won’t
smudge to the touch.
REGULAR CLEANING
Wipe up everyday spills and water marks as they occur, paying close attention to areas around the
sink and dishwasher. Do NOT use spray type polishes containing petroleum solvents. For hard to
remove stains use a mild detergent with warm water and thoroughly dry surfaces with a lint-free cotton
cloth after cleaning.
WEAR & TEAR
Daily use can result in surface damages to your cabinetry. Small scratches can be covered by using a
color matched touch-up pen . Deep scratches or gouges can be filled with the color matched fill stick.
To use the fill stick, run it firmly along the scratch, applying enough pressure to fill the scratch. Remove
excess wax
with the edge of a thin plastic card (credit card). When the wax is dry buff with a soft cloth. To keep
the door and drawer knobs clean, use mild soap and warm water. Thoroughly dry hardware surfaces
after cleaning. Do NOT use silver or brass polish.
WOOD & FINISH CHARACTERISTICS
All face frames, doors*, and drawer fronts* are constructed from solid hardwood. No two pieces of
wood are alike and differences in color or grain will be present in all exposed solid wood material.
Individual species characteristics like knots, mineral streaking, sapping or pinholes, may also be
present and are to be expected and define the beauty of solid wood. Our glaze finishes enhance the
base color and accents the unique details of each door style. Glaze hang-up will be heavy in some
areas and light in others and no two doors or drawer fronts will be exactly the same. These variations
define the beauty and character of each piece. Occasional drips, runs or checking further complete
the look.
White doors and drawer fronts have the same face frame construction with a painted finish. Expansion
and contraction of frame may cause hairline cracking at joints but the product performance will not be
affected. The doors and drawer fronts are solid, furniture grade MDF with a PVC vinyl surface finish.
Exposure to UV light over extended periods of time will alter the cabinetry color, creating a natural
colour which adds to the character of the cabinetry. Domestic humidity levels will affect the cabinetry
doors and drawer fronts. A humidity level of 45% is the ideal not only for your comfort and health, but
also for your cabinetry. Expansion and contraction will be naturally occurring and your cabinetry is
designed to handle these changes. Homes with less than 30% humidity create an environment
conducive for wood panel shrinkage which will be evidenced by the appearance of a white halo look
around door and drawer front center panels. Returning your home to the proper humidity level will
rectify this problem. If you choose to maintain your home humidity below the recommended standards,
you may elect to use a touch-up pen to cover the exposed halo area. For glazed finishes, a black
“Sharpie” pen will blend the glaze accent areas.
