Wood & Veneer
Philippe Hurel cabinetry reflects traditional craftsmanship, including fine veneer work that requires thoughtful care.
Maintenance:
* Use a chamois or a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean and restore sheen.
* Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Precautions:
* Do not use commercial dusting sprays, polishes, or shine-enhancing products, as they may damage the finish.
* Avoid placing damp or wet objects (such as ice buckets or glasses) directly on wooden surfaces.
* Wipe up any spills immediately to prevent damage.
Important Environmental Information:
* Traditional veneer is sensitive to humidity and moisture.
* Avoid excessive humidity or rapid changes in environmental conditions.
* Maintain a stable indoor climate to preserve the integrity of the wood.
Restoration:
* For scratches, stains, or veneer damage, professional restoration is recommended.
Lacquered Finishes
Lacquered pieces have been polished to bring depth and beauty. Although they are typically protected with a clear coat, they remain susceptible to wear.
Precautions:
* Use placemats or felt pads under objects that may scratch the surface, and coasters under any liquid containers.
* Do not allow liquids to remain in contact with lacquered surfaces.
* Avoid leaving rubber or plastic items on lacquer finishes, as they may cause damage.
Important Environmental Information:
* Do not place hot or moist objects directly on lacquer surfaces.
* Keep lacquered items away from heaters, air conditioning units, and direct sunlight.
* Avoid extreme humidity fluctuations; maintain levels between 35–45%.
* Excess moisture may cause swelling or warping, while overly dry conditions may lead to cracking.
Maintenance:
* Clean with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth, followed by a dry polish with a soft cloth.
* Avoid heavy-duty polishes or waxes, which may discolor finishes.
Restoration:
* For stains or surface damage, professional refinishing is recommended.
