Is there anything to consider with solid wood and stone patterns?

The colour and pattern of your kitchen worktop may differ from those on the samples and pictures. These deviations are due to the natural differences in the source material and make your worktop truly unique.

Products

Which materials are particularly robust?

Our most durable materials for worktops and back walls include ceramics, Dekton and frosted glass. You can find more information on the robustness of the individual worktop materials on our product pages

How cut resistant are the different materials?

The cut and scratch resistance varies with the surface finish of the individual materials. For worktops made of solid wood, laminate and Compact, it is essential to use a cutting mat or board to avoid damage to the surfaces. Worktops made of glass, ceramics, Dekton, natural stone or quartz stone are extremely cut and scratch resistant. However, to protect your knives and maintain the perfect condition of your Lechner worktop for the long term, we recommend using a suitable cutting surface even with these materials. You can find more information on the properties of the individual worktop materials on our product pages

What goes under the worktop?

A so-called substructure plate is placed under the worktop. This can be selected in varying thickness, depending on the material. 

Are Lechner products sustainable/eco-friendly?

Yes, our products are sustainable. This is confirmed by the PEFC™ and FSC® certification for our wood products.. You can read more about our certifications here

Does the colour tone of the kitchen worktops correspond to standardised colour definitions, such as RAL colours?

An exact assignment to RAL or other standard colour definitions is unfortunately not possible due to the different materials and coatings. All colour designations of the kitchen worktops stand for individual Lechner design names. However, you have the option of ordering glass worktops and rear panels separately in RAL colours, for example. 

Do you offer decor y from manufacturer x? / Who is your manufacturer?

We ask for your understanding that we cannot provide any information on this. However, we cordially invite you to visit us or your specialist dealer to have samples presented to you. Our specialist dealers will be happy to help you find a suitable Lechner decor. You can find an overview of our retail partners in your area here

Prices

What is your most expensive product? What is your least expensive product?

The price of the product depends, among other things, on the material, the design, the thickness and the different finishes. You can get a price quote from our specialist dealer in your area. You will find an overview of our dealers here. In principle, laminate offers a particularly attractive price-performance ratio. Natural stone, ceramics, glass and Dekton are in the more exclusive segment.

Where can I enquire about prices?

You can get a price quote from a specialist kitchen dealer in your area. You can see an overview of our dealers here

Why can't I get a price quote from you?

We sell our products exclusively through specialist kitchen retailers – because your kitchen worktop is as individual as you are. As a result, we are unable to give you any price information. Under Find a dealer you can display our retail partners in your area. They will be happy to prepare an individual quotation for you.

Which cleaning agents are suitable for daily use?

Any soiling or stains should be wiped off immediately to prevent stubborn colour pigments from being deposited on the surface. For daily cleaning, a household cloth or a soft sponge and a little water are generally recommended. If necessary, you can also use commercially available household cleaners, such as glass cleaner and soapy or vinegary water on all our materials. Highly abrasive or strong bleaching agents should not be used for daily cleaning. After each application, all residues of the cleaning product should be removed to prevent streaks from forming. Then wipe the surface dry.

For perfect cleaning and care of your worktop, please follow the material-specific care instructions on our product pages or download our general care instructions free of charge.

Which special cleaning agents should I use for different materials?

Depending on the material, different approaches are required to remove stubborn dirt or refresh the surface protection. Material-specific instructions can be found on our product pages and as an overview in our free care instructions

Processing of defects

Who do I contact in the event of product defects?

If your product is damaged, please contact your specialist dealer

What information does the dealer need to process the complaint?

In the event of damage, please provide a detailed description of the circumstances with photos and your order number. 

Is there a factory service centre near me or at Lechner?

Yes, however each repair case is processed by the corresponding specialist dealer. You can see an overview of our dealers here

What can I do in case of heat damage (e.g. imprint or delamination) to my worktop?

Although the surface of your kitchen worktop is extremely durable, we always recommend placing hot objects such as pots or pans on a suitable mat. If heat damage does occur, the surfaces can be treated differently depending on the respective material properties. For solid wood worktops, you can remove light heat marks with a sanding sponge (P180) or sandpaper (P240). For a solid wood worktop, you should then apply a thin coat of oil to the surface several times. For kitchen worktops made of laminate, natural stone, quartz stone or ceramics, the possibility of a repair depends on the thickness of the imprint. In this case, please consult your specialist dealer. You can see an overview of our dealers in your area here
