LACAVA – Luxury Bathroom Collection is now available at Urban Homes, Inc.
Europe is a land of small businesses with a long history of fierce competition. Their ancient roots can still be seen today, as each one tries to distinguish itself from the others by developing original designs. This is true in all fields. Bathroom furnishings are one of them. Nowhere else in the world can you find such a variety of artistically designed bathroom furniture and accessories as in Europe.
Lacava, a company of Italian origin, located in Chicago, is dedicated to continuing this legacy in order to enrich American private homes and lifestyles as well as public facilities with ingenious and inspiring bathroom collections. As a result of Lacava’s collaboration with designers from around the world in defining the future bathroom styles, the company specializes in both contemporary and transitional styles for commercial, retail, hospitality, and residential applications in standard and custom settings. The geographical location of Lacava enables us to provide our customers with the convenience of local, personalized service, coupled with the state of the art technologies and experienced artisans creating superior quality furnishings with customization capacity. Our complete product collections are constantly changing and expanding as we restlessly strive to shape the forthcoming market trends.
What are the recommended cleaning and care instructions for LACAVA’s woodwork?
Since our wood countertops and vanities are made for use in bathrooms, they are treated with several different sealants and coats to help protect them from moisture and humidity. However, special cleaning and care instructions should be followed to ensure that the finish continues to look new and clean for years to come. The surface should be cleaned with a soft cloth using cleaning agents designated for wood care, such as Pledge, Murphy’s Oil, or soapy water. NEVER use coarse abrasive materials which will scratch and discolor the surface and always avoid using products that contain ammonia or bleach. Prolonged exposure to water can also discolor and damage the wood surface, so wiping the wood surface dry after each use is highly recommended. Damage due to improper cleaning and care will not be accepted as a valid reason for a return or exchange and may void the warranty.
How is LACAVA’s woodwork constructed?
LACAVA’s woodwork is 100% handmade in the USA by skilled master craftsmen. The frames and legs of most of our woodwork are made from solid wood; the doors, side panels and countertops are constructed of a veneered select grade multi-layer core board. We do not use solid wood for large side panels or doors, because large flat pieces of solid wood are prone to warping when used in the high humidity environment of most bathrooms. All of LACAVA’s woodwork is finished with a polyurethane top coat which makes the finish extremly durable and provides the wood with extra protection from water and humidity. We do not use any laminates or particleboard, typically used in cheap, low quality furniture. In addition, only the highest quality hardware, concealed European hinges and soft closing drawer glides of top brands are used.

LACAVA LLC provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty on its faucetry. This warrants any faucet, installed in a residential application, to be free of defects in material and workmanship for as long as the original consumer owns his or her home. Any product installed in a commercial application is covered under warranty for one year.
