While we make every effort to deliver your products within the specified timeframe, it’s crucial to recognise that various factors beyond Customkitchen’s control, such as material availability, transportation conditions, or unforeseen circumstances, may impact delivery times.
Should any alterations to the delivery schedule occur as a result of these circumstances, we will promptly notify you. Please be aware that we cannot be held responsible for delays in delivery or any associated extra expenses arising from such situations.

5.2. If you need your items later than the agreed delivery time, please let us know promptly. If your items have already been shipped, and you can’t receive them within five business days from when the shipping company gets in touch with you, there will be an additional charge. This charge will be 10% of the shipping cost for each day the items are stored at the terminal.

We recommend that you plan for this when receiving the delivery.

10.1. Our painted fronts are coated with 2-component polyurethane paint from Sayerlack or AkzoNobel. If a color is desired outside the standard color range (e.g., from Jotun, Becker, or Farrow & Ball), a spectrometer is used to match the color to the manufacturer’s catalog or sample. If the color is not found in any catalog that we possess, you must send us a sample piece of at least 5×5 cm with a smooth surface and an even layer of paint.

10.2. Please note that color codes are used solely as an indication of shade/color, and complete match with a sample piece or other colors in the same color code cannot be guaranteed due to various factors including application method, paint manufacturer, and different gloss levels.


10.3. If needed, you are welcome to order a color sample from us to compare it with the walls or other surfaces in your room you want to match. The price for each sample is 30€ per color and sheen.


10.4. Unless otherwise specified, we use semi-matte paint with a sheen level of 25 for our painted products. This sheen level is recommended for furniture and other carpentry.
For veneered products, we use a matte finish with a sheen level of 5. This ensures the right finish and provides a natural appearance.

10.5. The available sheen grades are 5, 10, 25 or 35. If you wish to order a sheen other than our standard, as stated above, you must ensure that the desired sheen grade is indicated on the order!

 

11. Color and Pattern Deviations for Veneer products

11.1. Veneer is a natural material and can exhibit variations in pattern and color, even on small surfaces. This is due to the natural characteristics of the material and is considered part of its charm and character.

11.2. It’s important to note that an ordered sample piece will not look exactly the same as the final cabinet doors or products.


11.3. By placing an order for veneer products, the customer acknowledges that they are aware that veneer is a natural material with inherent variations. The customer understands that these variations exist and accepts them.
