Repairs on WOOD range

With time and use, the fronts may suffer small damages

The WOOD range is made with natural wood veneers, which means that each board is unique in tone and grain. If any of your fronts are damaged, it is important to consider that a replacement may differ in tone from the rest of the installed pieces, especially if some time has passed, as the wood has evolved with exposure to light and the environment in your kitchen. In most cases, a simple repair can restore them without compromising the harmony of the whole.

Light damage: scratches and small cracks

If the damage is slight, such as a scratch or small tear, a simple and effective solution is to use white carpenter's glue:

1. Application: Spread a small amount of glue over the scratch or crack.
2. Drying: Let it dry completely, until it becomes transparent.
3. Finishing: If necessary, you can lightly sand the area to achieve a uniform finish.

Heavier damage: using repair wax

For more visible dents or impacts, wood repair wax is recommended. It's available in different shades to match various wood tones:

1. Application: Fill the damaged area with wax using a small spatula.

2. Smoothing: Wipe off the excess with a cloth or the spatula.

3. Polishing: Gently rub the surface to blend the repair into the panel.
