A custom kitchen is a long-term investment, designed to stand the test of time without losing its lustre. To keep your cabinets looking and functioning their best, proper maintenance is essential. At Armoires Agly, we believe that a quality kitchen deserves simple but regular care to extend its life and preserve its aesthetic value.
Custom-made cabinets stand out for their precision design and the quality of the materials used. Unlike mass-produced items, each element is designed to fit perfectly into your space and lifestyle. This rigorous manufacturing process ensures greater resistance to wear and tear, humidity variations and daily use.
Each material has its own maintenance characteristics. It is therefore important to consider each type of material.
Solid wood cabinets require gentle cleaning with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive products that can damage the finish or dull the varnish. Occasional application of oil or wax nourishes the wood and preserves its natural lustre.
Melamine or polymer surfaces require little maintenance: simply wiping them regularly with a microfibre cloth is enough to remove dust and fingerprints. These materials are moisture-resistant, but it is still important to wipe up any standing water to prevent long-term deformation.
For cabinets with a glossy finish, it is advisable to use a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain their shine and avoid micro-scratches.
When you choose Armoires Agly, you are investing in cabinets designed to last, combining style, durability and easy maintenance. With proper care, your kitchen will retain its impeccable appearance year after year — reflecting the quality of custom craftsmanship and Quebec expertise.
A few simple habits will help prolong the life of your cabinets:
- Wipe up any spills of water, grease or acidic products immediately.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to heat (toaster, kettle, built-in oven).
- Periodically check the hardware—hinges, handles, runners—to ensure they are working properly.
- Maintain good ventilation in the kitchen to limit ambient humidity.
At Armoires Agly, each project is carefully designed to combine aesthetics, durability, and functionality. Our experts guide you toward the best combinations of materials and finishes to create a custom kitchen that reflects your style — elegant, timeless, and built to last.
