Warranty & care
We provide up to 10 years of manufacturer warranty on the film and 5 years of warranty on our application work (3 years for restored kitchens) — for your wrapped kitchen, doors or furniture. This page tells you exactly what the film can and can't handle, how to clean it, and what the warranty covers. We'd rather be honest and specific than make it sound better than it is: this way you know exactly where you stand.
Our warranty: 10 years on the film, 5 years on our work
Our warranty has several parts, for a deliberate reason:
- 10-year warranty on the film (material). This warranty comes from the manufacturer — only they can give a 10-year material warranty. The films we use (Cover Styl', SOIF, Bodaq, 3M DI-NOC) carry up to 10 years of product warranty against cracking, delamination (layers coming apart) and yellowing (discolouration). This warranty covers the material itself. The warranty terms are on each film's datasheet.
- 5-year warranty on our work (the application). This is our own warranty: that the film stays properly in place and doesn't come loose because of how we applied it. An application fault almost always shows up within the first weeks to months — an edge lifting, an air bubble. The adhesive layer is fully bonded after a minimum of 24 hours. If the film still sits tight after a few years, it was applied properly. We give 5 years of warranty on our work for a kitchen in good condition, so you have ample time to feel confident about our work.
- 3-year warranty for restored kitchens. If the kitchen first needs preparation — sanding, filling or removing old film — we give 3 years of warranty on our application work. Why shorter? See the"Restored and prepared kitchens" section further down this page: on a treated surface, factors come into play that are beyond our control. We do our part to the maximum.
- Good to know — how the two work together. Say the film still looks great after 5 years but a material issue develops (the film discolours or cracks)? That falls under the manufacturer's material warranty. It covers the film itself — not re-applying it. Replacing and re-wrapping is then work we carry out for you for a fee. This way you know exactly where you stand in advance: the material is covered for up to 10 years by the manufacturer, our application work for 3 years by us.
Heat: exactly what's fine and what isn't
The film handles normal kitchen warmth well, but it's still a plastic top layer. Specifically, depending on the film chosen:
- A cup of coffee, tea or a warm plate — no problem. These aren't extreme temperatures.
- A kettle or coffee machine — fine to stand on the wrapped kitchen. Just keep it a little away from the edges: steam and heat underneath can have an effect over time.
- Brief heat exposure up to roughly 110°C — that's the manufacturer's lab test value, measured under controlled conditions. In a real kitchen we recommend staying below 80°C: that's safer and more reliable in the long run. Above that threshold, or with longer contact, a mark can appear in the top layer.
- A hot pan or oven dish straight from the stove or oven — never directly on the film. A pan like that quickly reaches 150 to 250°C and that damages the film immediately. Always use a trivet or pan stand.
- Around the hob, oven and dishwasher — it gets warmer there and steam is released. The film on the fronts handles that fine, but keep some distance from direct flame and ventilate well. Let the dishwasher steam out before you open it.
Cleaning: what's allowed and what isn't
Cleaning is easy, and the warranty stays valid throughout:
Use:
- Lukewarm water with a mild washing-up liquid (Fairy, for example).
- An ordinary all-purpose cleaner.
- A soft cloth, microfibre cloth or soft sponge.
Don't use (damages the top layer and voids the warranty):
- Scouring pads and abrasives.
- Acetone, white spirit and other solvents.
- Chlorine and bleach.
- Aggressive, strongly acidic or strongly alkaline products.
Tip: wipe up spills promptly. The film is tested against coffee, cola, vinegar and even mild acids and holds up for up to 48 hours — but the sooner you wipe it off, the better.
Scratches: the honest story
The film has a protective top layer and is scratch-resistant, impact-resistant and UV-resistant — built for daily use. But scratch-resistant doesn't mean indestructible.
Honestly: we tested a scratch-resistant film ourselves by running a metal pen across it — it didn't leave a scratch. We didn't push it to the absolute extreme, but against normal daily use the film holds up fine. Cut with a knife directly on the film, though, and you will cut through it — just like on a plain worktop. So always use a cutting board, and don't press a sharp object into the film with force.
Fronts and worktop: the difference
- Fronts — for these we use a beautiful, durable interior film. They mainly face touch and light use.
- Worktop — this takes the heaviest beating: heat, moisture, knives and intensive use. That's why we choose a sturdier, smooth, non-porous film here (worktop film). A trivet for hot pans and a cutting board are mandatory here, not just advice. A wrapped worktop wears faster than the fronts and so needs a bit more care.
Want a worktop that can take absolutely anything without a second thought? Then a new worktop is sometimes the better choice — we'll tell you that honestly during the on-site measurement.
Which kitchens can we wrap?
We can wrap almost any kitchen. If the kitchen is damaged, we prepare it first. Depending on its condition, that can mean:
- sanding and filling damage,
- sometimes priming for good adhesion,
- sometimes it's enough to remove the old film and apply new film.
This way, older or damaged kitchens also get a crisp end result.
One exception, and we're honest about this too: if a panel has swollen from water (for example near the dishwasher or sink), restoring it usually isn't worthwhile. In that case it's more cost-effective to replace just that component and wrap the new panel. We'll advise you on what's smartest and most cost-effective in your situation.

Applied with care
We assess every surface individually and prepare it where needed. On a smooth, lacquered surface the film bonds excellently; in spots that call for it — edges, corners or places where the film gets stretched — we use a primer for extra adhesion. Not standard everywhere, but exactly where it benefits quality. That's how we lay the groundwork for a crisp result that stays in place.
Restored and prepared kitchens
We also take on kitchens that first need preparation: sanding, filling, or removing old film. On this work we give 3 years of warranty on our application (on a kitchen in good condition it's 5 years).
Why shorter for restoration? We're honest about it: when re-wrapping after removing old kitchen film, the cause of any possible lifting cannot always be established with full certainty. It may be due to ageing of the original adhesive layer underneath, excessive humidity in the home, persistent cold, or other factors beyond our control.
What we do about it — our part, to the maximum:
- After removing old kitchen film, we apply a special professional primer, specifically intended for re-wrapping after removal.
- We follow the correct application process and the correct temperature during the work.
- This gives the best possible foundation for a lasting result.
As long as no external factors act on the kitchen — such as excessive humidity or persistent cold — the film lasts as the manufacturer indicates.
What is NOT covered by the warranty
To avoid misunderstandings, here's an honest list of what the warranty doesn't cover:
- Cutting damage (cutting without a cutting board).
- Melt or burn damage (a hot pan directly on the film, too close to a flame).
- Mechanical damage (a hard impact, scratches from a sharp object).
- Damage from incorrect cleaning (abrasives, aggressive chemicals).
- Pre-existing damage to the surface underneath.
This is standard across the industry — the warranty covers the film and our work under normal use, not damage that occurs during use.
The first few days after wrapping
Give the film at least 24 hours to rest after application, so the adhesive layer can fully bond. Avoid intensive use, water and heat on the freshly wrapped surfaces during that time. After that, your kitchen is ready for daily use.
How to keep your kitchen looking good for years
- Use trivets for hot pans and a cutting board on the worktop.
- Clean with a mild soapy solution or all-purpose cleaner and a soft cloth.
- Wipe up spills promptly.
- Ventilate during and after cooking; let the dishwasher steam out first.
- Keep the kettle and coffee machine a little away from the edges.
- Check the edges every now and then. Notice something lifting? Call us in good time and we'll fix it while it's small.
Your warranty, publicly recorded
Afterwards we ask you for a short Google review. As a thank-you, we publicly confirm there which film was applied and the warranty that comes with it. That way you always have a handy, dated confirmation of your wrap to look back on — public and easy to check.
Note: this is a handy extra, not a condition. Your warranty applies regardless, even without a review.

Frequently asked questions
Can I put a hot pan on the wrapped kitchen?
No, never a hot pan or oven dish straight from the stove — it quickly reaches 150 to 250°C and damages the film immediately. Always use a trivet or pan stand.
What about a cup of coffee or a warm plate?
Yes, that's fine. Those aren't extreme temperatures.
Exactly how much heat can the film take?
Manufacturers lab-test the film up to roughly 110°C without leaving marks, but that's under controlled conditions. In practice we recommend staying below 80°C — that's safer in the long run. Hence: trivets for anything genuinely hot.
Can a kettle or coffee machine sit on it?
Yes. Just keep it a little away from the edges — steam and heat underneath can have an effect over time.
Can I clean it with Fairy or an all-purpose cleaner?
Yes. A mild washing-up liquid such as Fairy or an ordinary all-purpose cleaner with a soft cloth is fine — the guarantee stays valid. Avoid scouring pads, acetone, white spirit, chlorine and bleach: these damage the top layer, and that voids the guarantee.
Can spilled food or drink damage it?
Barely. The film is tested against coffee, cola, vinegar and even mild acids, and holds up for up to 48 hours. Still, wipe it off as soon as possible for the best result.
Can I cut directly on the wrapped kitchen?
No, always use a cutting board. A knife will cut through the film, just as it would on a plain worktop.
Does the film scratch easily?
The film is scratch-resistant and made for daily use. Honestly: we tested it ourselves with a metal pen and it didn't leave a mark — though we didn't push it to the absolute extreme. Against normal use the film holds up fine; press a sharp object into it with force and you will damage it, just as you would lacquer or wood.
What's the difference between film for the fronts and for the worktop?
For the fronts we use a beautiful, durable interior film. For the worktop we choose a sturdier, non-porous film, because it takes more heat, moisture and wear. A trivet and cutting board stay necessary there too.
Can the film come loose?
With expertly applied film this almost never happens. If you do see an edge lifting or an air bubble, that's down to the installation — and we fix that free of charge under warranty.
Which kitchens can we wrap?
Almost any kitchen. If the kitchen is damaged, we prepare it first: sanding, filling, sometimes priming, or removing the old film. Only with panels that have swollen from water is replacing that component usually more cost-effective than restoring it — we're upfront about that. Not sure? Send us a photo.
How long should I wait to use the kitchen after wrapping?
Give the film at least 24 hours to rest so the adhesive fully bonds. After that, the kitchen is ready for daily use.
How much warranty do we give exactly?
Three kinds: up to 10 years on the film (the manufacturer's material warranty), 5 years on our application work for a kitchen in good condition, and 3 years for a restored kitchen (after sanding, filling or removing old film). So both the material and our work are well covered.
What if the film discolours or cracks after a few years?
That falls under the manufacturer's material warranty — which covers the film itself. Re-applying it is then work we carry out for a fee. If a problem occurs within our work-warranty period (5 years, or 3 years for restoration) because of the application itself, we fix that free of charge.
Does the warranty also apply to a restored kitchen?
Yes. On a restored kitchen (after sanding, filling or removing old film) we give 3 years of warranty on our work; on a kitchen in good condition that's 5 years. When re-wrapping after removing old film, the cause of any potential lifting can't always be established with full certainty — it can also be down to the old surface underneath, moisture or cold. We do our part: a special primer for reuse, the correct process and the correct temperature. Without external factors such as high humidity or cold, the film lasts as the manufacturer indicates.
How long does a wrapped kitchen last?
With normal use and proper care, for years. The film carries up to 10 years of material warranty; around heat sources it can be shorter. Trivets, ventilation and gentle cleaning get you the most out of it.
