The fronts and panels in several of our collections come in painted versions. Some are made of painted veneer, while others are made of solid painted MDF. The collections featuring painted veneer are SHAKER, PLAIN, FRAME, and COLUMN. The collections with painted MDF are BASIS, SHAKER, PLAIN, PROFILE, DEGREE, UNIT, and STRAP.
Although the base materials of the painted panels differ, maintenance remains very easy. Painted veneer is generally more resistant to impact; although the paint may still chip, the veneer layers beneath are more durable and can be touched up if necessary.
Here are a few tips and tricks for regular maintenance and preventive measures.
Regular Cleaning
Cleaning should be done with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water with a mild detergent. We recommend wiping off any excess moisture and drying the surface with a soft cloth.
Preventive Measures
Although resistant, the painted surface should never be treated with products containing abrasive substances. Using abrasive sponges or harsh materials such as sandpaper or steel wool may leave visible scratches.
Refrain from using acidic or alkaline products, heavily chlorinated products, or those containing bleach, as they may stain or degrade the surface.
Lastly, we do not recommend using furniture polishes or wax-based cleaners, as these tend to form a sticky layer on the surface that attracts and traps dirt.
