Product safety

Low formaldehyde and VOC emissions

For the wood-based components in our products, we have decided to use only materials with very low emissions of formaldehyde and other Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

Tempered glass

The glass used is tempered (with the exception of mirrors, curved glass and small pieces, on which tempering technology cannot be applied), to lend them greater mechanical resistance and safety in the event of breakage (in this case, they shatter into minute fragments that are not sharp). When the glass cannot be tempered, it is treated to make it especially hard-wearing.

Anti-release and anti-tipping system

For baskets, drawers and shelves to stop them and their contents from accidentally falling.

Hinges, arms and drawer runners

All our opening systems (door hinges and arms and drawer runners) are designed to last. To this end, we constantly perform tests which, for instance, guarantee the resistance of hinges (for over 100,000 opening/closing cycles) and drawers (for over 60,000 opening/closing cycles). In addition, our hinges and drawers are fitted with mechanisms that slow down closure to eliminate the closing impacts.

Appliances

We select the best household appliance manufacturers who not only provide a guarantee on their products (all are CE marked), but can also offer outstanding support.

Hoods

We select extraction hoods that are technologically sophisticated, guaranteeing excellent air exchange when cooking food.

Hobs

All the gas hobs provided for our kitchens are fitted with a safety valve to prevent accidental gas leaks; the induction hobs comply with specific protocols for safety mechanisms (fault detection, child safety lock, etc.).

General information

Scavolini dealers and their technicians/installers have all the necessary manuals to install every element correctly to achieve a finished product that is safe for you and your entire family.
Despite the above precautions, the kitchen and bathroom could pose a safety risk so we urge you to pay particular attention to the section entitled Useful Tips.
