Standards

Any deviations requested from Cutr Standards during quoting will be explicitly called out in the Quote / Offer and priced for accordingly. If no request is made, Cutr will default to the following:

Design

  • Cutr will use available designs to provide pricing for a job. Adjustments made through the production process may incur additional costs.
  • Cutr does not warrant that the designs submitted meet any specific manufacturing standards or intended purposes. Where engineering services are requested, the manufacturer will be responsible for checking this and providing drawings for approval prior to production.
  • The manufacturer will produce based on approved production drawings. These drawings will be available on the Cutr platform for comment. Drawings will adhere to Cutr guidelines as outlined here. The approval of these drawings is considered final.
  • Where designs deviate from standard material thicknesses, Cutr will select the closest available thickness first and otherwise layer sheet materials to come as close as possible to the desired thickness.
  • Where there are sharp inner corners, Cutr will assume a 6mm radius is allowable.
  • Where a corpus is shown without the cabinetry interior, Cutr assumes one shelf is required at 350mm intervals.
  • For double door cabinets, we assume the left door opens to the left and the right door opens to the right unless otherwise specified.
  • Cutr will specify the amount of hinges needed for doors unless specifically requested by the customer.
  • Cutr will assume base plinths of 100mm height to be used for cabinets and will deliver to the exact length of the cabinet.
  • For built in cabinets, Cutr will assume no vertical side plinths are needed unless evident in the drawing / request.
  • For wall mounted cabinets, Cutr will specify a metal rail system per 600mm cabinet.
  • For wall panelling, Cutr assumes that panels can be glued directly to the wall.

Materials

  • Cutr will clearly show the material used to quote and produce, and will not deviate from this unless otherwise approved.
  • For parts orders, Cutr assumes all edges will be edgebanded unless otherwise corrected and clearly indicated.
  • For assembled orders using melamine, HPL or veneer, Cutr assumes all visible edges (including visible edges to inner cut outs and edges touching the ground) will be edgebanded.

    • Unilin chipboard 10mm 00025 CST Front White - for cabinet backing
    • If solid wood has been requested without a specific wood type, we will select: European Oak, Rustic graded and kiln-dried for interior use.
    • If veneer has been requested without a wood type, we will select 2z oak veneered MDF.
  • Grain direction is always assumed as along the longest measurement of the part.
  • Cutr will assume continuous slats for any solid wood sheets.
  • Solid wood will have little knots (less than 3cm) or dents. The knots will not be filled by default.

  • Cutr assumes a moisture resistant core for bathroom or kitchen cabinetry or any cabinetry that is in an obvious wet area.
  • Parts that requires bending will be manufactured using two layers of 8mm thick bendable plywood, with supporting brackets behind the bend.

    • Fabric price: €30 per meter with a roll width of 1300mm
  • Parts that need to be painted are, by default, MDF with a paint carrier film if the available sheet thickness allows. Otherwise, MDF with primer will be selected.

Finishes

  • Cutr assumes varnish will have a matte finish.
  • Cutr assumes (spray)paint work will have a satin finish.
