Components Description

Drawer structure and shelves

Consisting of 18 mm thick melamine-faced chipboard panels in accordance with the US EPA TSCA Title VI standard (with very low formaldehyde emission).
The shelves are 18 mm thick and equipped with built-in shelf supports with locking device. They can also be made of tempered glass (6 mm thick), grounded on the edges.

Edge

Edge in ABS or Polypropylene (PP) glued with thermosetting polyurethane glues 1 mm thick on the front parts of the unit sides and shelves and 0.5 mm thick on the lower and upper parts of the unit sides and on the sides and rear part of the internal shelves. Made of paper for the non-visible parts of furniture (back).

Backs

Consisting of 2.8 mm thick high-density fibre panels compliant with E1 and US EPA TSCA Title VI for formaldehyde emissions, wall units with polypropylene veneers and painted bases and columns.

Worktop

Laminate worktop: 38 or 58 mm thick water-repellent wood particle board coated with high pressure laminate (HPL). For worktops in other materials, please refer to the "Useful information" section.

Sink

In sheet 18/10 stainless steel made using a single-casting or electrically welded tubs, with a smooth or "embossed" finish. For sinks in other materials, please refer to the "Useful information" section.

Brackets

Faced bracket: melamine faced wood particle board panel (class E1); ABS edging.
Veneered bracket: wood particle board panel (class E1) veneered with "slices" of wood (which vary depending on the model) and lacquered using acrylic/polyurethane products.

Frames

In pine wood or MDF (class E1) veneered with "slices" of wood (which vary depending on the model); acrylic/polyurethane lacquering.

Sink unit base coating

In chequered aluminium or lacquered plastic to protect the sink unit from water seepage.

Feet

In knock-resistant plastic material (PVC) and height-adjustable, these are screwed to the bottom of the cabinet using special bushing, without requiring any drilling in the lower part of the casing (thus completely avoiding the creation of areas in which dirt may accumulate or through which water could leak into the base and sink cabinets).
They are also available in aluminium and can be adjusted and mounted on a special base structure (also made using an aluminium profile).

Skirting

These elements may be made using anodised or lacquered aluminium, or PVC coated with decorative melamine foil, and have a rubber seal at the top and bottom.

Regrigerator unit base

In rigid plastic material (PVC), drilled in the centre to allow any leaking water to escape and to protect the main cabinet column.

Backsplash for worktops

In aluminium or rigid knock-resistant PVC with laminate decoration.

Hinges

In sheet steel and zamak alloy, copper-plated and nickel-plated for resistance to corrosion; adjustable in three directions.

Drawers and total extraction deep drawers (internal structure)

The structure may consist of a 16 mm thick wood particle base (extremely low formaldehyde emission) faced in grey laminate with side and back panels in galvanised and lacquered sheet steel for protection against corrosion. Alternatively the structure can be made entirely of solid ash and plywood; sliding takes place by means of total extraction runners with a grooved system for anti-detachment locking and automatic closure which is activated in the final 4 cm. The soft-close system (blu-motion) is also supplied as standard.

Plate draining racks and baskets

In electrically welded metal wire; they may be plasticised with polymer resin, nickel-plated or chrome-plated and coated with a transparent plastic sheath (Crominox finish).

Tables

Top: may be a wood particle panel (class E1) coated with HPL plastic laminate (see laminate worktop) or veneered with "slices" of wood and lacquered with water-based, polyurethane or acrylic shades, or it may be made using glass, granite or natural stone.
Borders and base structure: these may be made using metal or plywood panels, faced or veneered with "slices" of wood (these vary depending on the model).
Legs: these may be made using metal or solid wood; lacquering is carried out using acrylic/polyurethane products.

Chairs and stools

Structure: this may be in tubular metal lacquered with thermosetting powders, or in solid wood lacquered using water-based (impregnating) and acrylic/polyurethane products (base).
Seat and Backrest: these may be made using synthetic material (methacrylate), solid wood, plywood, upholstered fabric or simulated wicker.

Note: each type of chair or table is identified at the site of purchase by the relevant adhesive label on the packaging.
