Chalon
Extends its Range of Handcrafted Wine Racks
Chalon
UK Ltd,
designer and manufacturer of hand crafted kitchens, bathrooms and freestanding
furniture has announced the extension of its distinctive range of exclusive
wine racks.
Available in the full collection of over 60 Chalon hand painted or polished
finishes, with a further option of four different levels of distressing
should it be desired, these wine racks make an ideal accompaniment to
any room of the home with relaxed living in mind. The range now extends
from the smallest four bottle capacity product to the largest, with space
for 120 bottles, along with convenient drawers for storage.
The company is marketing these new wine racks via its showrooms and website,
not only as the perfect finishing touch to a new Chalon kitchen, dining
room, living room or study, but also as an affordable but premium value
Christmas present, given the company’s short production lead times
and recommended retail price starting from just £500. Indeed these
smaller wine racks make the ultimate corporate Christmas gift, for those
companies really looking to impress, and stand out from the norm.
New images (featured) show the 4 bottle wine rack with drawer, the 6 bottle
vertical without drawer, the 6 bottle horizontal with drawer, and the
6 bottle vertical with drawer. With the smallest of these new wine racks
measuring 483mm high by 270mm wide by 272 mm deep, there is likely to
be room for more than one in every household. Furthermore, these new products
can remain freestanding, standalone items of occasional furniture, or
they can be wall-mounted.
Future Chalon developments
The past couple of months have been productive ones for the company. The
recent launch of its new St Albans showroom is already proving a good
decision given current levels of prospect interest, and the company’s
increasing push into the Bathroom market being highlighted by new displays
in both its flagship King's Road, London showroom, as well as at its Harrogate
store. A series of new paint colours are the next item due for launch.

Shape
is a key theme in contemporary kitchen schemes and PWS
has introduced an extended range of curved options into the company’s
popular Fresco, American Walnut and hi-gloss Avant ranges.
Included in the new line-up are wide curved drawer packs offered in additional
widths of 800mm and 1000mm.
The expanded product range aims to broaden the appeal of curves, joining
the already successful 1200mm wide curved drawer but offering smaller
alternatives to bring shape into kitchens where space may be more limited.
Supplied in sets of 3 drawers (1 x 139mm height and 2 x 283mm height)
these combinations are expected to be extremely popular. New 's' shaped
plinths have also been introduced to co-ordinate with the 800mm and 100mm
drawer fronts.
Comments Andrew Langford, Marketing Manager at PWS, 'Wide curved drawers
are perfect for storing everyday items and are great for seeing everything
at a glance, making for an organised and clutter-free kitchen. However
their appeal is not solely in their function but also their exceptional
sleek looks which are right on cue for the current trend for using curves
to create a flowing kitchen design.'

Five
New Kitchen and Bathroom HD Ready Televisions
To
satisfy the ever increasing demand for high technology in every room inside
and outside the home, Aquavision has
introduced five new waterproof HD Ready LCD televisions. The Series 4
high-performance range will consist of 17 (4:3), 19, 26, 32 and 40in widescreen
sizes, ideal for bathrooms, showers and kitchens.
Now you can have a soak in the bath and watch your favourite soap or even
cook as you watch and take instruction from one of the many cookery programmes.
A new feature, which is unique to waterproof televisions, is the RS232
control port, enabling the television to be controlled from a compatible
touch panel anywhere in the home. These complete home entertainment televisions
feature integrated Freeview digital and analogue tuners, a component video,
S-Video and analogue PC input, HDMI inputs, full scart connection and
built in games.
Aquavision
says that image quality is far more superior than any other waterproof
TV available offering a contrast ratio of 1600:1 on the AVF-32-4C for
outstanding reproduction of detail and depth of images and 1,366 x 768
pixel resolution on most of the new models.
The new screens accept both industry standard 'High Definition' video
formats (1080i and 720p) perfect for watching the latest HDTV and high
definition movies. Two remote controls (one master and one waterproof)
are provided with all the new waterproof televisions.
Even though these televisions are installed in steamy rooms - bathrooms,
showers, saunas etc, the heated screen will never mist up in humid conditions.
Installation is very simple and straight forward for a qualified engineer
as Aquavision is supplied with an easy to fit fixing frame, with a polished
steel bezel, which can be mounted into the wall without the screen. All
the messy work such as tiling, plastering and finishing of the wall can
be done with the Aquavision LCD screen safely out of the way. Then when
completed, fit the Aquavision screen, connect the cables, seal the surround
and it's ready to go!
The
Series 4 range is available in three finishes:- polar white and black
with 'optically clear' glass which enhances the picture quality and eliminates
picture degradation caused by normal 'green' glass and also Mirrorvision
- when the television is off, the glass takes the form of a mirror that
is perfect for shaving, make-up etc.
Also available from Aquavision is the Heated Towel Rail / Television -
incorporating a 17" LCD into a bespoke, state of the art towel rail
and a kitchen range - designed to be installed into a kitchen cabinet
door.
'Aquavision is the original bathroom television company and has been manufacturing
waterproof televisions since 1999. The televisions are not just restricted
to wet room installations and many are finding their way into living rooms
and bedrooms as the company is also the original in-wall television manufacturer.'

Eclipse From Häfele - Now With Soft Close
Häfele's
worktop standing Eclipse carousel unit, designed originally to complement
the best selling Mondo base unit module, is now being supplied with a soft
close mechanism to transform the convex door closure system.'We are selling more and more of these Eclipse kitchen storage systems,' says Häfele Sales Director Ray Fisher, 'because there really is nothing else in the market place to touch it for neatness, efficiency, storage volume capacity and ease of access.
And, of course, it's the access that Ninka, who designed and who manufacture these brilliant devices, have now made so much better and more stylish.'
The three circular storage carousel trays each measure 590mm in diameter to give 600 x 600mm planning dimensions - spacers included with the kit make Eclipse suitable for 630mm square corners.
Eclipse carousel shelves provide enormous storage capacity for frequently used items - herbs and spices, sauces, general cooking ingredients and even implements.
Everything is carried at eye level and each of the carousel trays rotate to bring the entire contents to the front for the simplest of access - Eclipse cabinets are now even lit from within. And the base of the cabinet at worktop height represents usable storage space effectively increasing the storage tray levels to four.
The finish effect of Eclipse is clean and modern stainless steel for both the cabinet and the convex closure panel, which is designed to be pushed inwards and rotated to one side for easy access. And now, of course, closure can be effected by the lightest of touches ... and then left to drop silently into place.
