It goes without saying that we all want our kitchens to last. It\u2019s probably the room in your house that\u2019s required the most investment to get it to the point where you\u2019re happy with it, so preferably you want it to remain intact!<\/p>\n

And while you can probably think of some of the most obvious ways your kitchen can get damaged, like dropped pans or tricky food stains, you might also be surprised how easy it is for an innocuous item like a kettle to cause irreversible damage to your laminate kitchen worktops<\/a><\/strong>. So here at Savoy Timber<\/a><\/strong>, we\u2019ve put together a list of a few things for you to keep in mind that could potentially damage your kitchen.<\/p>\n

Calamitous placement of the kettle<\/h2>\n

The kettle is a staple feature in most kitchens here in the UK, and not something that\u2019s largely considered a risk to your kitchen. However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind with regards to storing and operating your kettle, which are worth remembering if you hope to avoid damaging your kitchen. To start with, the boiling hot water and steam that a kettle emits, as placing it under a cupboard can cause damage to wooden shelving in the form of steam-burn. A steam-burn is basically a white film that forms on the surface of the wood, weakening its structural integrity. What\u2019s more, steam from your kettle can actually melt melamine cabinets.<\/p>\n

Issues with the oven<\/h2>\n

You\u2019re probably especially wary of the dangers to your kitchen that your oven can pose in comparison to the kettle. A few common concerns for most people include the risks presented by burning food, and the results of residue catching fire within the oven. However, there are a couple more to keep in mind which can cause significant damage to your kitchen.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the units either side of the oven can burn as a result of problems related to the door seal, or the door itself. The heat emitted from your oven can escape through any gaps, causing damage to your kitchen units. How does this happen? Well, over time, the door hinges on your oven may become warped and bent out of shape, no longer creating a clean seal. So, it\u2019s always worth keeping an eye out for any signs of burning on the units either side of your oven, as this could be a sign of a bigger problem.<\/p>\n

Overfilling the fridge<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s something oddly satisfying about a full fridge, but try not to get too carried away during your weekly shop! Overfilling your fridge can block the air vents, restricting the flow of air, and causing your fridge to burn out. This isn\u2019t an ideal situation as not only will you have to fork out for a new fridge, but you\u2019ll also need to find a place to temporarily store all your food so that it doesn\u2019t spoil. If you keep things organised and stored in a way where the cold air can easily travel around your fridge, then you shouldn\u2019t have any issues.<\/p>\n

These are just a few things for you to keep in mind moving forward to ensure that your kitchen remains free of damage that could otherwise have been avoided. However, if you do find that elements of your kitchen could do with a new lease of life, or you simply fancy a change of style for a very reasonable price, our cheap kitchen worktops<\/a><\/strong>, and made-to-measure kitchen doors<\/a><\/strong> are perfect for bringing a fresh new look to your kitchen.<\/p>\n
