One of the most common questions after installation is simply how to keep a PVC/uPVC kitchen looking new — the answer is refreshingly low-effort.
Key points
- Wipe shutters and countertops with a damp cloth and mild soap; PVC/uPVC's non-porous surface doesn't need special cleaners.
- Avoid abrasive scrubbers on high-gloss finishes, as they can dull the surface sheen over time, though the board underneath is unaffected.
- Check hinge and channel screws every few months and tighten if needed — this is hardware maintenance, not material maintenance.
- Wipe up oil splashes near the hob promptly to keep the finish looking fresh, even though the board itself won't be damaged by them.
- Unlike wood, there's no need for periodic polishing, sealing or anti-termite treatment.
Why this matters when you're planning cupboard
At No More Wood, every cupboard we design starts from this same material logic — everyday cupboards in humid coastal cities take a beating — shelves sag, corners swell, and once termites get in, an entire cupboard of clothes or linen can be ruined without warning. We build the cupboard to avoid that from day one, not patch it later.
