About Scavolini Kitchens
Scavolini is internationally recognized for Italian-made kitchens that combine refined aesthetics, precision manufacturing, and integrated design systems. Scavolini is a top Italian kitchen cabinetry company that has been in business for over 60 years, continually improving its products across three generations (for official collections, finishes, and product specifications, visit the official Scavolini website). These kitchens often feature:
Handle-less or integrated handle profiles
Tall cabinet wall systems
Custom finishes and veneer panels
Precise appliance integrations
European dimensional standards
Modern, innovative approaches that adapt to changing market trends
Highly customizable cabinetry available in a vast range of styles, colours, finishes, and accessories, suitable for all areas of the home—not just kitchens
Commitment to environmental protection, sustainability, and the use of responsibly sourced high-quality materials
100% Italian origin, renowned for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail
Strong appeal to the luxury housing market in Vancouver, with collaborations with designers to create unique, tailored kitchen designs
Because of this, the renovation must be planned around the kitchen system, not the other way around.
Scavolini is a highly customizable cabinetry brand which caters to all areas, regardless of size, while keeping its luxurious and functional appeal.
Renovation Planning for Scavolini Kitchens
A Scavolini kitchen cannot be treated like off-the-shelf cabinetry. Renovation planning must begin before cabinetry is ordered. Professional interior design services are essential in the planning phase, helping clients visualize and plan their kitchen renovation for optimal aesthetics and functionality.
As of 2026, permit processing times in Vancouver can range from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the municipality.
Key planning considerations include:
Structural wall modifications and load considerations
Exact appliance specifications and venting paths
Electrical layouts aligned with cabinet tolerances
Plumbing locations that respect European cabinet depths
Ceiling heights, bulkheads, and lighting integration
The value of fixed timelines and efficiency in the renovation process, ensuring less downtime and optimized project delivery
The long-run benefits of a full-service renovation approach, including cost savings and a seamless experience from start to finish
Use of interactive 3D design renderings to help clients visualize their kitchen before work begins
Consulting with professionals familiar with local building codes to understand the necessary permits
Our role is to ensure the space is renovation-ready for the kitchen design provided by the showroom.
Installation & Coordination Considerations
Scavolini kitchens rely on tight tolerances. Even small deviations in walls, floors, or ceilings can compromise the final installation. Italian cabinetry, such as Scavolini, requires precise assembly, unlike standard North American cabinets.
Grand Renovations manages:
Subfloor levelling and floor flatness
Wall straightening and plumb correction
Ceiling preparation for full-height cabinetry
On-site coordination with cabinet installers
Protection of cabinetry during finishing stages
This level of coordination significantly reduces delays, damage, and costly revisions.
Common Mistakes Homeowners Make with High-End Kitchens
Homeowners often encounter issues when the renovation is not aligned with the cabinetry system:
Renovation starts before final kitchen drawings are approved
Electrical and plumbing are roughed in too early
Ceiling heights are not verified against cabinet specs
Flooring thickness is not factored into cabinet heights
Our process avoids these problems by sequencing the renovation around the kitchen brand requirements.
Working with Scavolini Showrooms in Vancouver
Grand Renovations does not sell or distribute Scavolini kitchens.
Cabinetry is supplied through an authorized Scavolini showroom in Vancouver, where clients receive design services, product selection, and ordering. Our role is to:
Coordinate renovation timelines
Review technical drawings before construction begins
Prepare the site for seamless installation
Execute the renovation for kitchen cabinets specifications
This collaborative approach benefits both the homeowner and the showroom.
