Malzeme rehberi

Yedi malzeme, sade sözlerle.

Her biri nasıldır, nerede en iyi çalışır ve nasıl bakılır. Genel rehberlik: kendi yüzeyiniz için üreticinin talimatları her zaman önce gelir.

01 · Timber

Oak

Karakter: Open-grained, warm and quietly varied. Oak takes oil well, hides small marks in its grain and deepens gently towards honey with light and time. It sits comfortably beside pale surfaces, plaster and brass.
En iyi kullanım: Cabinet fronts, drawer interiors, open shelves, oiled worktops and panelling. Veneered oak on a stable board suits large doors and tall units. Solid oak suits edges, shelves and worktops.
Bakım: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry. Keep standing water away from sinks and dishwashers. Refresh the oil from time to time on worktops, and sand light scratches along the grain.

02 · Timber

Walnut

Karakter: Darker, richer and more formal, with a grain that moves like water. Walnut gives a room weight and depth, and looks best against pale surfaces and soft light.
En iyi kullanım: Tall units, feature walls, islands, niches and shelves, where its depth can be read against calmer surfaces.
Bakım: Keep it out of long, direct sun, which lightens it slowly. Wipe spills quickly and dust often, because dark timber shows fine dust. Oil lightly if the finish is oiled.

03 · Porcelain

Sintered porcelain

Karakter: A dense, fine-grained ceramic slab, made in looks that follow marble, limestone and travertine, in matt and satin finishes. It reads as one calm, even surface, with the veining and tone of the look you choose.
En iyi kullanım: Islands, worktops, splashbacks and full-height back walls, where one long surface carries the room. Large slabs mean fewer joints.
Bakım: Wipe with a soft cloth, warm water and a mild soap, then dry to avoid streaks. Use boards and trivets, and keep abrasive pads and harsh cleaners away from matt finishes. The maker's instructions for your slab come first.

04 · Quartz

Quartz

Karakter: Engineered quartz is made from crushed quartz bound with resin. It comes in plain colours and in veined looks that follow marble and stone, and it is consistent from slab to slab, which suits clean, modern rooms.
En iyi kullanım: Worktops, islands and splashbacks in busy family kitchens, where a consistent surface that is easy to keep clean matters most.
Bakım: Wipe with a soft cloth and a mild soap, then dry. Use a trivet under hot pans, because the resin can be damaged by high heat, and keep solvents and abrasive pads away. The maker's instructions come first.

05 · Painted finish

Lacquer

Karakter: A sprayed, painted finish in matt, satin or gloss, in almost any colour. It is smooth and even, and gives large flat fronts a calm, uniform surface. Gloss shows fingerprints, matt feels soft.
En iyi kullanım: Handleless fronts, tall units, wardrobes and deep colours that timber cannot give, such as charcoal, forest green or chalk.
Bakım: Use a soft cloth with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive pads and solvents. Keep edges away from standing water. A damaged panel can often be re-sprayed.

06 · Glass

Glass

Karakter: Clear, tinted, reeded or fluted. Reeded glass softens what lies behind it and catches the light, and smoked or amber tints add warmth. It hides fingerprints better than a smooth pane.
En iyi kullanım: Display cabinets, sliding doors, splashbacks and lit niches.
Bakım: Clean with water and a drop of mild soap, or a glass cleaner, and a lint-free cloth. Brush the ribs gently to lift dust. In hard-water areas, wipe dry to avoid limescale spots.

07 · Metal

Metal

Karakter: Brass, bronze, steel and aluminium sharpen a design. Brass and bronze darken to a soft patina, steel stays cool and precise, and powder-coated finishes are the most stable.
En iyi kullanım: Fine details: grip profiles, shelf edges, glass frames, niches, taps and handles.
Bakım: Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap and dry afterwards. Polish brass if you want it bright, or let the patina develop. Avoid abrasives on brushed finishes and acidic cleaners on any metal.
