Schuller Kitchens Product Information (continued)
Laminate doors – these are made of high quality chipboard which are melamine resin-coated or decor-laminated on both sides. Schuller kitchens have strived to ensure that all of the surface structures are durable and easy to care for. The majority of laminated surfaces with reproduction wooden finishes are printed with organic colours so exposure to daylight, artificial light or light of different intensities can give the impression of slight variations in colour. Identical colour continuity is not possible. Variations in colour are unavoidable and this also applies to design elements made from other materials. In that case, colour, structure and decor print will be adapted to ensure the best possible aesthetic design and match.
Polymer doors – these are MDF boards which are seamlessly coated with high quality polymer foil. The foil quality and robustness correspond to the most advanced foil manufacturing technology. The working group of European front manufacturers have issued guideline ‘EFM’ to maintain the high quality of polymer fronts and Schuller’s quality standard is based on that guideline. Any slight variations in the colour of a print are well within the accepted tolerances under those guidelines.
Lacquered doors – dull-matt finely textured or high gloss finish. Surface robustness equals the official stressed norm for kitchens DIN 68930 and the lacquer system corresponds to qualification requirements DIN 68861 and 68930.
Wooden doors – Schuller Kitchens only use selected woods and veneers. The minimum thickness is always 19mm and depends on the required finish, solid wood or veneer. All fronts are protected by PUR lacquer. Wood finishes, by their nature, always exhibit small differences in texture and colour. Note that within the units fronts the wood grain structure can vary and this is normal of the product.

Schuller Kitchens Carcase - The Schuller Kitchens carcase sides, base shelves and shelves are made of high quality chipboard, 16mm thick, melamine-resin coated on both sides. Schuller kitchens carcase front edges all have softened thick edging which gives improved edge protection. The vertical front edge is chosen according to the decor of the external side, the rear edge is laminated in a neutral colour and the bottom panel colour is defined by the manufacturer. Schuller kitchens Wall units have the same finish on external sides, top and bottom shelves. All internal shelves have a 1.3mm thick edging on the front for extra protection. Visible external sides are available in laminate high gloss, veneer, matt lacquer or high gloss lacquer at a surcharge.
Schuller Kitchens Worktops - The testing of all the multi-layered worktops performed according to DIN 68930 and DIN EN 438. The underside of the worktop is coated. The front edge receives additional coating which protects and seals against humidity. All worktop raw edges plus joints have to be sealed onsite. Each worktop delivery is provided with a high moisture resistant sealant/glue DO3 according to EN204.
Schuller Kitchens Quality
All Schuller Kitchen ranges undergo safety tests carried out by the Equipment Safety Testing Institute in Nuremberg (LGA). As a result of these tests the GS Certificate (“Safety Tested”) has been awarded to Schuller Kitchens, confirming that all quality requirements with regard to the ease of operation, stability, material consistence and safety are fulfilled. In July 2003 Schuller kitchens were awarded the QM certificate DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 which was reconfirmed by the Equipment Safety Testing Institute in Nuremberg in September 2006. The DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 monitors the customers view and the quality process in relation to customer satisfaction and demands on product and design.
