Hello!
I need your help. We are planning to move and would like to take our Faktum kitchen with us.
From what I’ve seen, there is a parts replacement service. For the new apartment, we still need to buy 2-3 additional cabinets.
Am I correct in understanding that the cabinet carcasses haven’t changed?
So, I could simply order the cabinet carcasses and get the Faktum fronts from the parts replacement service, right?
My only concern is that the colors might no longer match, since ours have slightly yellowed after 9 years. Have you had any experience with this?
Is there a noticeable difference between Faktum and Metod?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards, Patty

Hello,

No, Faktum is not compatible with Metod (the carcass has different dimensions, hinge holes, drawer fittings, etc.).
Color differences between aged fronts cannot be ruled out, and how noticeable this is also depends on the front type.

Hello, the FAKTUM reorder will soon no longer be possible. Initially, it was said to be available until June 2016, then I heard the webshop will be shut down by the end of the month...

Many important items are already no longer available. Unfortunately.
In addition, partial deliveries may be made, meaning if you order four doors, you might only receive three.
