So
Much in Store with PWS' Tandem Larder Unit
Maximise
storage potential in tall units with the latest tandem larder from PWS.
The 1700mm high larder is now available to suit both 500mm and 600mm wide
units, furthering the design possibilities with this useful wirework storage
system.
Manufactured
by wirework experts Kessebohmer and supplied exclusively to PWS in the
UK, the tandem larder comes complete with 6 frame baskets and 6 door baskets
in a modern chrome finish.
The system operates via a follower mechanism, when the door is opened
the baskets at the rear automatically pull to the front of the unit for
easy access.
The considerable storage space is coupled with an impressive load capacity.
The 500mm unit has a total maximum 50kg loading for the internal frame
baskets and 20kg for the door baskets, with the 600mm unit holding up
to 60kg and 25kg respectively.
Where two tall cabinets are side by side the dispensa-tandem can be fitted
as double system, creating a chef's pantry arrangement satisfying consumer
demand for well-designed and functional storage.
The unit can be enhanced with 'soft stop' to cushion the momentum of the
unit when closing.
Kessebohmer tests each unit in its range of larders to 60,000 cycles (15-20
years). Only the highest standard grade steel is used in production, reinforced
with one layer of copper to protect from corrosion, two layers of nickel
to optimise durability and a final coating of chrome for a gleaming finish.
PWS says that its larder offering is the most comprehensive available
and includes the swing, dispensa, tandem and chef's pantry options.
And for base and wall units there is a comprehensive selection of carousels,
pull-out drawers, tandem pull-outs and corner solutions ensuring no storage
opportunity is overlooked.

Ingenious
Storage Unit from PWS
'Twister'
is the latest product to be introduced to the PWS
accessories portfolio. A circular unit that rotates 360 degrees, Twister
takes away the strain of reaching high into corners for items that are
traditionally in an awkward area of the kitchen.
Manufactured
by wirework expert Kessebohmer and supplied exclusively to PWS in the
UK the unit has a high-specification and includes anti-slip shelves to
ensure items don't fall over or slide around. Twister is enhanced with
designer chrome galleries, which not only help to keep items secure in
place, but also create a modern and clean look.
The shelves are 450mm diameter and the eccentric axle maximises the space
available and for added flexibility is height adjustable so the shelves
can be positioned to suit individual requirements. With a maximum weight
capacity of 8kg per shelf Twister opens up a host of wall storage possibilities.
Comments Andrew Langford, PWS' Marketing Manager, 'the trend in internal
kitchen fittings is gathering momentum, as consumers are undoubtedly becoming
more aware of the additional benefits of smart storage and considered
kitchen planning.
Our research has revealed that the accessories for the future must assist
efficiency, comfort, productivity and health and safety in the kitchen
without compromising good looks.
More than ever before, a key priority of kitchen design is from the inside
out, with greater emphasis being placed on what is hidden behind the doors.
In a nutshell, space is precious so we need to maximise space and minimise
stress and we believe Twister fits the bill.'

French
Period Chic from Häfele
A
new range of traditional forged iron and steel cabinet and door handles
and accessories by Bouvet reflects French traditions of classical style,
says UK distributor Häfele, while
at the same time meeting modern expectations for quality and precision.
Bouvet
handles have been hand forged in France for more than 100 years and the
range of finishes - including Black Iron, Pewter (or Patine) and Rust
- reflect the timeless style and visual authenticity of the products.
Says Häfele sales director Ray Fisher, ‘these products are superb
quality and look fantastic on period style cabinet layouts.’
Black and pewter finishes from Bouvet are corrosion treated using patented
prevention techniques for durability. Their rust option is authentic in
appearance but is a powder coated appliqué finish unique to the
French manufacturer which ensures visual continuity across the entire
range of its door furniture products.
Access door furniture from Bouvet features unsprung handles on either
rose or backplate fixings with latch, lock or bathroom options and all
cut to British Standard keyway and lock case requirements; a Euro profile
cylinder option is also available. The lever handle furniture range comes
complete with all fixings, including full bolt-through options for added
security and for door thicknesses up to 44mm.
The door lever handle portfolio has a range of complementary accessories
in support including pull handles, escutcheons, push plates and door stops
- there are even matching gate latches. All come in finishes to match
any period construction or refurbishment project.

Let
Off Steam with VisaBel Heated Mirror Pads from Bohle
Bohle
has introduced a new range of own-branded heated mirror pads that promise
to banish steamed-up mirrors for good by the simple flick of a switch.
The VisaBel range offers 4 different sizes designed to cover the most
popular mirror sizes used in bathrooms and washrooms, using a safe, relatively
low surface temperature to de-mist the mirror in the steamiest bathroom.
They are inexpensive, easy to fit and economical to run at around 1p per
day, a small price for an efficient alternative to the sleeve of a dressing
gown, says Bohle.
‘VisaBel is a very simple but highly effective way of keeping your
mirrors steam-free in bathroom areas,’ says UK Sales Manager, Nelson
Graham.
‘In addition to an add-on accessory sale for which the packaging
is attractive and ideal for display in a showroom, we believe that merchants
may also offer mirrors pre-fitted with the pads for an added-value promotion,
and even a fitting service.’
VisaBel is approved to UK and International standards and comes in multi-language
packaging for worldwide distribution. A five-year warranty offers peace
of mind to complete the package.
The range comes in 5 size options and is packaged individually for re-sale
or can be supplied in bulk packaging for large installations, such as
hotels.

Jiffy's
Highly Polished Solution for Highly Polished Furniture - New Furni-kraft®
Offers a Traditional Concept with a Modern Twist
Jiffy,
the supplier of quality protective packaging has developed a new product
which guarantees protection for highly polished furniture in transit.
While traditional wrapping methods of corrugated paper, or woollen blankets
are still in use, Jiffy has developed Furni-kraft®.
Furni-kraft®, a bubble laminate that incorporates paper, represents
a logical evolution from Jiffy‚s Vanguard® and Kushion Kraft®
paper products. The latest product in the Furni range, Furni-kraft®
provides a modern protective approach with a traditional paper finish
to protect furniture with highly polished surfaces. The laminated sandwich
construction of Furni-kraft® combines Astro Bubble ® laminated
to a printed LDPE film on one side and a smooth machine glazed, high quality
kraft paper on the other side.
Lisa Booth, marketing manager, Jiffy said: 'Furni-kraft® offers a
highly presentable, protective alternative to more familiar paper wrapping
materials. While woollen blankets have been one of the most popular ways
of protecting furniture in transit, they're not 100% effective and goods
damaged in transit could result in extra costs for the company as well
as dissatisfied customers! Now companies can improve presentation, reduce
damage, increase protection and save money when packing, storing and shipping
their furniture products.'
Always
on the look out for interesting storage ideas, PWS
has introduced a collection of modern baskets.
The baskets are available in four contemporary timbers; oak, maple, walnut
and calvados to complement many of the Second Nature kitchen ranges.
In keeping with the trend for material mix, the baskets are manufactured
from solid timber combined with a stainless steel front.
The modern alternative to the traditional wicker basket, the Lindo range
offers breathable, open storage, suitable for keeping vegetables and fresh
foodstuffs.
The sculpted shape of the baskets creates an interesting focal point in
the kitchen, while providing a practical storage solution.
Sold in pairs the baskets are suitable for both 500mm and 600mm units
and the 460mm depth offers ample space. Each basket includes 2 runners
for ease of installation.
The Lindo range joins the line-up of other storage baskets from PWS, including
the tio modern beech basket and the rustic-styled wicker basket.
