Solid wood is taken from the innermost part of the tree trunk, called heartwood, which is the thickest part.
By selecting a trunk, you can see the growth circles of the tree which tend to curve outwards.
This phenomenon, referred to as “pulling to the centre”, explains the reason why flat doors are not produced in solid wood: in fact, wood is a “live” material that would naturally tend to bow.

GeD cucine has been producing solid wood “framed” doors since 1969, one of the oldest building techniques applied to furniture which, thanks to the overall “panel + frame” in alternating sections, is a reliable solution even if a bit limited from an aesthetic point of view.
Today, within the vast Velvet kitchen system, GeD kitchens produce “smooth” solid wood doors in Oak and Larch using a 3 layer technique (3S): the overlapping of three solid wood surfaces glued together is an equally valid solution to the “framed” door, thereby allowing use of this exceptional material for minimalist kitchen models.

Wood is the most ecological material: it can be renewed, there’s no need to recycle it and it can be reused for hundreds of years.
All wood used by GeD cucine comes from monitored reforestation.

To clean the suface, use a soft cloth soaked in alcohol diluted in water in the direction of the grain and dry with a soft, dry and non-abrasive cloth.
Clean wine or acid stains immediately. Avoid abrasive products, pads or detergents, acetone, Trilene, ammonia, chlorine, diluents, furniture wax and polish.
