Question 1

What does KITWOOD manufacture?

Accepted Answer

KITWOOD designs and manufactures a full range of premium cabinetry in Lebanon — kitchens, wardrobes and walk-in closets, bathroom vanities, and stone countertops — all from our 6,000 m² Zouk Mosbeh factory. We are also Lebanon's exclusive authorised dealer for the Doimo Cucine Italian kitchen catalogue.

Question 2

Do you have your own kitchen designers in Lebanon or use freelancers?

Accepted Answer

KITWOOD employs a dedicated in-house team of professional kitchen and interior designers based in Beirut, Lebanon. This ensures seamless communication between the design phase and the manufacturing floor — giving you a truly cohesive luxury kitchen experience from concept to completion.

Question 3

Do you offer walk-in closet and wardrobe design in Lebanon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. KLOZET® by KITWOOD is our premium wardrobe and walk-in closet line, manufactured since 1981. We design and build bespoke walk-in closets, built-in wardrobes, sliding door systems, and dressing rooms — all handleless, Italian-inspired, and tailored to your exact room dimensions.

Question 4

Do you supply and install stone countertops in Lebanon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. KITWOOD supplies and precision-fabricates a full range of countertops — engineered quartz, large-format ceramic, and natural granite. We supply kitchen worktops, waterfall islands, bathroom vanity tops, and outdoor surfaces.

Question 5

Are you the authorised Doimo Cucine dealer in Lebanon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. KITWOOD is the exclusive authorised dealer for Doimo Cucine in Lebanon. Through our partnership, you gain access to the full Doimo Cucine Italian kitchen catalogue — hundreds of configurations, finishes, and worktop combinations — delivered and installed by our local team with full manufacturer warranty support.

Question 6

Where is KITWOOD located, and do you install kitchens across all of Lebanon?

Accepted Answer

Our flagship showroom and design studio are in Sin el Fil, Beirut, and our 6,000 m² production facility is in Zouk Mosbeh — together they cover all of Lebanon. We supply and install our premium kitchens, wardrobes, and interior doors across the country — Beirut, Jounieh, Tripoli, Sidon, and beyond.

Question 7

Can I see completed kitchen and wardrobe projects before deciding?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We invite you to visit our Beirut showroom where you can experience our materials, finishes, and build quality firsthand. You can also browse our extensive portfolio of completed luxury kitchen and wardrobe installations on our Projects page.

Question 8

Where are KITWOOD's showrooms located?

Accepted Answer

We operate two walk-in showrooms in Greater Beirut: our flagship 600 m² showroom in Sin el Fil, Saloumeh (open Mon–Fri 9–18, Sat 9–13, no appointment required) and a second 500 m² showroom adjacent to our Zouk Mosbeh factory. Both display full-scale working installations across kitchens, wardrobes, vanities and countertops.

Question 9

Does KITWOOD manufacture locally in Lebanon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. KITWOOD has manufactured continuously at the same Zouk Mosbeh location since 1981. Our 6,000 m² facility houses CNC routing, edge-banding, multi-coat lacquer spray booths, veneer pressing, and a dedicated stone-cutting workshop — all under one roof, all operated by directly-employed KITWOOD craftsmen. Factory visits are available on request.

Question 10

Does KITWOOD provide wardrobes, vanities and countertops as well as kitchens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. KITWOOD is a full-category cabinetry manufacturer. Alongside custom kitchens, we produce KLOZET® wardrobes and walk-in closets, bespoke bathroom vanities, and engineered-quartz and porcelain countertops — all from the same factory, using a unified material library so finishes can be matched precisely across the whole home.

Question 11

What makes KITWOOD different from other cabinetry suppliers in Lebanon?

Accepted Answer

Four things: continuous operation at the same Zouk Mosbeh factory since 1981; design, manufacturing, installation and after-sales under one organisation (never subcontracted); Blum hardware and moisture-resistant carcasses as standard, not as upgrades; and two walk-in showrooms where you can inspect full-scale installations before committing.

Question 12

What is the difference between Italian kitchens and German kitchens?

Accepted Answer

Italian kitchens — such as our exclusive Doimo Cucine range — are celebrated for expressive design, bold colour palettes, and sculptural aesthetic. German kitchens are typically engineered for maximum functionality and precision. At KITWOOD Lebanon, we offer both: our own bespoke collections with Italian design influence, and the full Doimo Cucine Italian catalogue.

Question 13

What is the best material for kitchen cabinets?

Accepted Answer

There is no single material that is best for every application. The right choice depends on the intended use, design, budget, and environmental conditions. In Lebanon's humid climate, high-density, ecological, water-resistant E1-grade chipboard (particle board) is the right specification for carcasses, while a smooth, stable surface is what matters most for doors and finished panels.

Question 14

What is the difference between MDF and plywood?

Accepted Answer

MDF is a smooth engineered wood product that is often chosen for lacquered finishes and decorative panels. Plywood is made from layered wood veneers and is generally stronger and more suitable for structural applications, especially where dimensional stability and moisture resistance are important. KITWOOD uses neither for cabinet carcasses: every KITWOOD carcass is high-density, water-resistant E1 chipboard from EGGER, CLEAF, INNOVUS, and KRONOSWISS — not plywood, not HDF, and not MDF.

Question 15

Is solid wood always the best choice?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Solid wood offers natural character and strength, but it can also react to humidity and temperature changes. It is often used selectively in premium projects rather than as the only material throughout all components.

Question 16

Which material performs better in humid environments?

Accepted Answer

Performance in humid environments depends on the specific application and how the material is used. Water-resistant, high-density E1-grade chipboard is the right carcass specification for Lebanon's coastal humidity — dimensionally stable and resistant to swelling when properly specified and finished, unlike cheap raw particleboard. Water-resistant MDF plays the same role for doors and finished panels.

Question 17

Why is hardware quality so important in kitchens and wardrobes?

Accepted Answer

Hardware affects how a kitchen or wardrobe performs every day. Hinges, drawer runners, lift-up systems, and soft-close mechanisms all contribute to ease of use, alignment, and long-term reliability. Poor hardware can cause misalignment, failure of mechanisms, and a noticeably lower-quality daily experience.

Question 18

What affects the lifespan of a kitchen?

Accepted Answer

The lifespan of a kitchen depends on multiple factors, including material selection, hardware quality, manufacturing precision, installation quality, and the way the kitchen is used and maintained over time. No single factor determines longevity — it is the combination that matters.

Question 19

Are technical specifications more important than appearance?

Accepted Answer

Appearance is important, but technical specifications play a major role in long-term performance. A project that looks good initially may not perform well over time if materials, hardware, and installation are not properly considered. At KITWOOD, both are given equal attention.

Question 20

What is the difference between factory-made and carpenter-made kitchens?

Accepted Answer

Factory-made kitchens typically benefit from greater precision, consistency, and controlled production processes. Component dimensions are accurate, finishing is consistent, and hardware installation follows a defined process. Carpenter-made kitchens may offer flexibility, but quality can vary significantly depending on tools, methods, and execution standards.

Question 21

What is the best material for wardrobes?

Accepted Answer

There is no single best material — the right choice depends on the component. Structural carcasses are best built from high-density, ecological, water-resistant E1-grade chipboard (particle board) for their dimensional stability and moisture resistance. The same water-resistant panels provide a smooth, consistent base for lacquered and decorative door surfaces. Each material performs best in the role it is selected for.

Question 22

What is the difference between wardrobe structure materials and door materials?

Accepted Answer

Structural components such as carcasses require materials that resist load, humidity, and dimensional change over time — making high-density, water-resistant, E1-grade chipboard the right choice for these areas. Door and panel surfaces prioritise smoothness, finish compatibility, and visual consistency — well served by water-resistant MDF. Selecting the right material for each specific function is part of what determines overall wardrobe quality.

Question 23

Are sliding wardrobes better than hinged wardrobes?

Accepted Answer

Both systems have distinct advantages depending on the space and lifestyle. Sliding wardrobes require no swing clearance, making them suitable for rooms with limited floor space. Hinged wardrobes typically provide fuller access to the interior in a single movement. The right choice depends on room dimensions, access requirements, and the overall interior design direction.

Question 24

What affects the durability of a wardrobe?

Accepted Answer

Wardrobe durability depends on several coordinated factors: the quality of structural materials, the performance of surface finishes, the grade of hardware used, and the accuracy of installation. A wardrobe built from quality materials but fitted with low-grade hinges or runners will degrade in operation before it fails structurally. All components contribute to long-term performance.

Question 25

Why is internal wardrobe planning important?

Accepted Answer

Internal organisation determines how well a wardrobe functions in daily use. A well-planned interior accommodates different garment lengths, provides accessible drawer and shelf space, and makes efficient use of available volume. A wardrobe that looks refined from the outside but lacks a logical internal configuration fails as a functional storage solution.

Question 26

How does hardware quality affect wardrobe performance?

Accepted Answer

Hardware directly determines how smoothly and reliably a wardrobe operates over time. Premium hinges, drawer runners, soft-close mechanisms, and sliding systems provide consistent alignment, smooth movement, and long-term ease of use. Lower-grade hardware may function adequately at first but deteriorates faster, requires more frequent adjustment, and affects the overall quality of the product experience.

Question 27

What makes a custom wardrobe more functional than a standard wardrobe?

Accepted Answer

Custom wardrobes are designed to match the specific dimensions of the space, the storage requirements of the user, and the visual language of the interior. They use every available centimetre efficiently, can be configured for specific storage needs, and integrate cleanly with walls, ceilings, and floors. Standard wardrobes are limited by fixed dimensions and predefined internal configurations that rarely match a real space with precision.

Question 28

Why is installation important in built-in wardrobes?

Accepted Answer

Built-in wardrobes rely on accurate installation to deliver the intended result. Plumb alignment, clean ceiling and wall integration, smooth door operation, and correct hardware adjustment all depend on execution during the installation phase. Even high-quality components will underperform if the installation is not precise. Installation quality is as important as the production quality of the components themselves.

Question 29

Is KITWOOD a premium kitchen company in Lebanon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. KITWOOD is one of Lebanon's leading premium and luxury kitchen and wardrobe companies. Since 1981, KITWOOD has designed and manufactured premium custom-made kitchens, walk-in closets, vanities and countertops in its own state-of-the-art Lebanese factory, using European hardware (Blum) and premium surface materials. KITWOOD is also the exclusive Doimo Cucine Italian kitchens dealer in Lebanon.

Question 30

What makes KITWOOD different from imported European kitchen brands?

Accepted Answer

KITWOOD combines European-inspired design with locally controlled custom manufacturing. Imported European kitchens are built to fixed module sizes and shipped, while KITWOOD measures every space individually and manufactures to the millimetre at its 6,000 m² Zouk Mosbeh factory. The result is the design DNA of an Italian or German luxury kitchen, with full local customisation, faster lead times (typically 4–10 weeks), and direct Lebanese after-sales service for the lifetime of the kitchen.

Question 31

Does KITWOOD work with architects and interior designers in Lebanon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A significant share of KITWOOD's work is delivered with or for architects, interior designers, and luxury residential developers in Lebanon and the region. KITWOOD provides architectural-grade documentation (3D renders, technical drawings, service requirements), full premium material library access at the Sin el Fil showroom, and trade-friendly project coordination — including consolidated kitchen and wardrobe packages for multi-unit luxury developments.

Question 32

Why choose a custom luxury kitchen instead of an imported kitchen?

Accepted Answer

A custom luxury kitchen is built to the exact dimensions of your space, with materials and finishes selected for your project — no filler strips, no module compromises. KITWOOD's custom luxury kitchens are made in Lebanon using premium European hardware (Blum) and surface materials, typically deliver in 4–10 weeks (vs 10–14 weeks plus customs for imported kitchens), and are supported locally by the same team that built them.
