Do you provide warranty on modular furniture, kitchen, or wardrobes?

Excellent 👌 — asking about warranty is very smart, because many homeowners in Delhi NCR face issues like laminate peeling, hinges breaking, or kitchen drawers jamming after just 1–2 years. A good interior designer (or turnkey firm) should always give clear warranty terms in writing.

Here’s what you should expect:


âś… Typical Warranties in Delhi NCR Interiors

1. Modular Kitchens

  • Cabinet structure (ply/HDHMR/MDF) → 5–10 years (depends on material brand).
  • Hardware (hinges, channels, lift-up systems, corner units) → Lifetime warranty if Häfele / Hettich / Blum, 2–5 years if local brand.
  • Finish (laminate, acrylic, veneer, PU polish) → Usually 1–3 years against manufacturing defects, peeling, bubbling.

2. Wardrobes & Modular Furniture

  • Carcass (plyboard/HDHMR) → 5–10 years.
  • Shutters / Finish → 1–3 years.
  • Hardware (hinges, sliding tracks, locks, handles) → 2–10 years depending on brand.

3. False Ceiling, Carpentry, Storage Units

  • Structural carpentry → 5+ years warranty (if done with branded ply & polish).
  • Paint / polish finish → 1–2 years (touch-up covered, not wear & tear).

⚠️ Things to Clarify With Your Designer

  1. Who gives the warranty → The designer? The material brand (Häfele, Greenply, Century, Asian Paints)? Or both?
  2. Written warranty card → Get warranty certificates/cards for hardware & modular furniture.
  3. What’s excluded → Misuse, water seepage, pest damage, or normal wear & tear usually not covered.
  4. Service process → If something breaks, do you call the designer or directly the hardware brand?
  5. Post-handover service → Some designers give 1–2 free service visits after handover.

đź’ˇ Pro Tip

  • Always choose branded hardware (Häfele / Hettich / Blum) even if carcass is made locally. Their lifetime warranties save you from major headaches.
  • Ask for item-wise warranty list in the contract/BOQ (e.g., “Wardrobe shutters: 3 years, Hinges: Lifetime (Hettich)”).
