QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Is a lacquered kitchen resistant?
Lacquer is a product widely used in high-end cabinetry and is adapted to family life. The process of designing lacquered panels ends with the application of a hardener that makes the product impact resistant and prevents it from scratching or damaging the edges. Another plus: white lacquers are non-yellowing. This means that your beautiful white kitchen will remain so for years to come.
Are your products environmentally friendly?
Our Cesar kitchens are CARB phase II certified. This is the strictest Californian certification in the world. This certification guarantees that the particleboard used emits very little formaldehyde. Cesar also produces its water-based lacquers without solvents and is FSC® certified, which means that all of our wood products are responsibly sourced and harvested with an eye toward resource renewal. European manufacturing meets the strictest production standards in the world. For more details, please refer to the different product lines.
How can I manage the budget for my project?
Our products are offered in a variety of finishes that come in different grades (eg from 1 to 10). Depending on the finishes and the manufacturing details chosen, the same project can easily vary up to 40% in price. We also have great strategies at the design stage to optimize your budget.
Why are your products made abroad?
Working with Italy means being able to offer know-how passed down from generation to generation which is exclusive to our suppliers.
European manufacturing trends and methods are often at least a decade ahead of what can be found in North America. Importing from Europe therefore allows us to have access to state-of-the-art manufacturing methods and a variety of superior quality finish types. Our products are extremely durable and made to last over time.
Do you only sell kitchens?
PURE is made up of an ecosystem of suppliers, which allows us to meet all of your interior finishing needs. In addition to kitchens, we offer integrated storage systems, architectural doors, bathroom finishes and furniture.
Do you do custom projects?
Our products are made according to your dimensions for precise architectural integration into your space.
Do you sell furniture?
PURE offers, in addition to its architectural furniture, several furniture manufacturers and editors. Large built-in bookcases, tables, sofas, beds... In short, all the furniture in your residence signed PURE.
What are the most resistant materials for my kitchen?
In terms of countertops, ceramic (porcelain) is by far the most resistant material on the market. It is an unalterable material that resists high temperatures. You can therefore place a dish straight out of the oven without any problem.
Note that the resistance of materials is not always dependent on cost. For example, for facades, laminates will be the most resistant and are among our least expensive materials.
The use of water-repellent panels is also an important element. It is for this reason that all our panels are V 100 certified, which guarantees the best water resistance for indoor use
Is marble a good option for countertops?
Marble has always been an ideal solution for countertop surfaces.
It is a natural material that is porous to varying degrees depending on the mineral that composes it and which is sealed before being delivered.
One of the most interesting aspects of the product is that it can be maintained over the years if necessary. In fact, a stone counter can be repolished and, in the event of breakage, can be rebuilt by specialists. This is a latitude that some synthetic materials do not offer.
Our products are offered with the option of an acid and stain resistant sealant. In addition, there are new high-performance treatments that make natural stone countertops completely waterproof.
Do you sell countertops?
We sell the majority of our kitchens with the counters. Indeed, through our suppliers we have access to a variety of interesting options such as natural stone, stainless steel, laminate, ceramic, etc.
By ordering your counters with us, you ensure that they are made to the exact dimensions of the kitchen cabinets and without overflow on the contours.
Another notable benefit is the time saved. In fact, countertops are traditionally produced after the rest of the kitchen has been installed, which represents an additional delay of almost a month.
The fact of receiving the counters at the same time as the pedestals also allows a great saving in terms of delivery and installation costs.
When should we buy our appliances?
We advise you to wait before concluding the purchase of your household appliances. We will help you make wise choices based on the design proposed for a kitchen where furniture and appliances can exist in harmony.
Where are your products made?
Our products are mainly designed in Northern Italy, a region historically rich in manufacturers of high-end products.
