Excellent 👍 — asking about warranty on modular furniture, kitchens, and wardrobes is a must, because these are high-use items and the most common areas where problems (hinges, shutters, channels, alignment, water seepage) show up.
Here’s how warranties usually work in Delhi NCR:
✅ Modular Furniture Warranty Breakdown
🔹 Modular Kitchens
- Factory-made modular units → usually come with 5–10 years warranty (depends on brand).
- Covers:
- Structural integrity (ply/MDF/HDHMR).
- Hardware (hinges, channels, soft-close).
- Not Covered:
- Water seepage/termite (unless BWP ply is used).
- Scratches/dents from misuse.
- Hardware brands (Blum, Häfele, Hettich) → lifetime warranty on hinges & channels.
🔹 Wardrobes
- Modular wardrobes → 5–7 years warranty on structure.
- Shutter finish (laminate, acrylic, PU) → 1–2 years service warranty for peeling, bubbling.
- Sliding systems (tracks, rollers) → warranty based on hardware brand (2–5 years).
🔹 Beds, TV Units, Other Modular Furniture
- Factory modular → 3–5 years structural warranty.
- Hardware (hydraulics, channels) → brand warranty.
- Finishes (PU/veneer) → service warranty 1 year, then repolishing chargeable.
💡 What You Should Ask Your Designer
- What warranty do you provide on modular kitchens, wardrobes, and furniture?
- Is warranty from the brand (Blum/Häfele) or your company?
- Is it a written warranty card or just verbal?
- What’s covered — alignment, peeling, bubbling, cracks, termite, water damage?
- Do you include 1 free service visit within 6–12 months?
⚠️ Red Flags
- Designer says: “Don’t worry, we’ll handle it” 🚩 (no written warranty).
- No brand mention in BOQ (plywood, hardware, finish).
- Warranty only on hardware, not on carpentry workmanship.
✅ Pro Tip
- Always demand a written warranty card with brand + duration mentioned.
- For kitchens/wardrobes: Blum, Häfele, Hettich hardware = safest choice (lifetime warranty).
- Keep extra laminates/paint cans for future touch-ups.
- Ask for 1-year free service warranty for alignment/touch-ups after handover.
