Widens its Popular Al-Tec Range
Increasing
demand for streamlined kitchens combined with the continuing popularity
of aluminium accessories in the home has inspired Burbidge
to introduce a range of contemporary new frontals to its Al-Tec range
of kitchen components.

in 800mm, 900mm and 1000mm sizes to enable kitchen retailers to create

designed to complement Burbidge’s broad range of contemporary kitchen
designs, including the Zeit Peach Skin Beech ‘slab’ kitchen
as pictured.
Ben Burbidge, Managing Director of Burbidge comments: ‘Our Al-Tec
aluminium accessories are proving highly successful as are our extra wide
door and drawer frontals. As such, by combining the two, we have introduced
a range of products that we believe will be appreciated by our retailer

Start
a New Project with Classic Door from PWS
With
country living being a much sought after way of life, more and more consumers
are looking at creating the warmth and comfort of country cottages within
their homes, be it in city, town or country. With this in mind PWS
has launched the quintessentially English Eden Classic timber door. Blending
traditional warm oak tones with enduring style and design, Eden Classic
captures the rural cottage ambience.
Featuring a distressed painted cream finish, Eden Classic's rustic appeal
comes from natural imperfections found within the door styling. The perfect
solution for a truly traditional country kitchen, modern touches can be
added by way of handles or one of PWS' feature doors. These include a
glazed door with grille; a woven glazed door; and a door with a braided
steel feature.
Eden Classic is also available with a range of accessories including:
framed wall and floor quadrants; pilasters; a spice drawer set; plain
cooker canopy or a tongue and groove cooker canopy; a bottle rack; plate
racks; and a selection of end panels.
Eden Classic can also be combined with Eden Oak or Eden Sanded, other
doors within the Eden collection from PWS, to offer a more bespoke style.

Top-end
English Country Kitchen Proves Best-Seller for Burbidge
Burbidge's
Arundel kitchen featuring English Pippy Oak wood is not only proving a
huge sales success for this British manufacturer, its distinctive country
house style design combined with the traditional English Oak wood is also
attracting new customers for retailers and manufacturers.
Although
aimed at the top end of the market and priced accordingly, the Arundel
kitchen has more than quadrupled sales since it was first launched. And,
according to Burbidge's research, independent retailers and manufacturers
offering Arundel are experiencing interest from consumers much further
afield than they would normally attract, owing to their specific interest
in this design.
The key to Arundel's success says Ben Burbidge, managing director of Burbidge,
is the Pippy Oak wood and the fact that the design is of a quality and
style usually only associated with bespoke traditional English Country
kitchens. 'At the top end of the market, there is still significant demand
for authentic English style kitchens; kitchens that offer individuality
and character and to some extent exclusivity.
'Arundel combines traditional English design with a traditional English
wood. As such, it's a kitchen that cannot be supplied by importers.'
The Arundel kitchen comprises baronial style with door, drawer fronts
and panels made from estate hewn English Pippy Oak and frames in wild-grained
French Oak. The country house style is accentuated with a wide range of
accessories including spindle feature doors, wide mullioned glass doors,
wide gun barrel pilasters and open end units.
For added flexibility and in keeping with the period kitchen designs,
the doors, decorative open units, large pilasters and side panels can
also be used to create freestanding dresser units and counter top display
units. Also available are special decorative mantels and corbels which
have been designed to fit over range cookers - not only offering aesthetic
appeal but also a functional benefit in that they provide additional storage
space.
For more information about the Arundel range of kitchen frontals and accessories
and other Burbidge designs, visit http://www.burbidge.co.uk
or call 024 7667 1600. Products can also be viewed in realistic room sets
in a dedicated showroom at Burbidge's Coventry manufacturing facility.
The showroom is open 5 days a week between 8.30am and 5.00pm.

New
Ardesco Range Reveals Orama’s Passion For Worksurfaces
Orama,
the independent manufacturer of worksurfaces and associated decorative
products, has launched the new Ardesco range of design worksurfaces. Ardesco
has been developed to offer the kitchen industry a range of design solutions,
so the new portfolio consists of laminate, timber and solid surface products.
Orama
has named the new range Ardesco to represent its passion for worksurfaces
(Ardesco is Latin for passion!) In preparation for the launch, Orama invested
months into researching the product trends in Europe, to ensure Ardesco
brings the latest in worksurface designs to the UK. Orama claims that
with Ardesco it will be leading the industry styles, trends and new innovations.
The Ardesco range features 24 laminates, six composite solid surfaces,
solid timber worksurfaces and seven splashbacks. New for the Ardesco range
and new for the UK market are:
- New mirror flat finish (no telegraphing on all gloss and silk designs)
- Sharp edge radius, even on gloss
- New hard-wearing gloss finishes
- 10 finishes in a generous 50mm
- New edging options: matching edges or acrylic brushed aluminium on the
50mm products
- Three laminate surface finishes – gloss, silk or textured
- 38mm thickness as standard
- Popular 3 metre lengths as standard that are easier to handle
- Exclusive range of Orama laminate designs
Peter Holt, Sales and Marketing Director of Orama, enthuses; ‘The
Ardesco range is the culmination of our investment into people, equipment
and research – Orama is confident that it meets the market’s
needs for a quality worksurface range, from one supplier. It is branded,
with options to suit most market demands and certainly brings current
and future design trends from Europe into the UK for the first time. Also,
having standardised on 3 metre lengths, Orama recognises the industry-preference
for a portable, easily-distributed product. It is easier to handle, fits
in a van, and is an equivalent price per metre to the more unwieldy 4.1m.’
Brought to market in summer 2003, Ardesco gives industry distributors
a range which is specifically tailored for the independent kitchen retailer.
Supported by full point of sale and new literature, Ardesco was launched
in July 2003. Orama utilised its market research findings when developing
the new literature for Ardesco, which contains full colour charts and
design selection tips.
Orama offers decorative panels and worksurfaces. Established for many
years, Orama holds ISO 9002 certification and the Furniture Industry Research
Association Gold Award for product performance. The company is also a
corporate member of the KBSA (Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialist Association).
All Orama’s chipboard and solid timber products are sourced from
'responsibly managed' forests.

Burbidge
Brings 'Urban Chic' Style to the Kitchen
Proving
that British kitchen manufacturers are just as innovative as their continental
counterparts, Burbidge has just introduced
Opus - a highly streamlined kitchen in white gloss.
Opus is distinctive for its sleek 'urban chic' appearance that will appeal
to consumers looking for a minimalistic yet practical modern kitchen.
The white gloss door and drawer frontals are entirely flat with no decorative
detailing that are complemented with sleek flat aluminium bar handles.
Even the pilasters are notable for their simplicity. Not only aesthetically
pleasing, the extra wide, square pilasters are also easy to fit - having
been deigned as flat panels with grooves that enable them to be folded
into shape with minimal effort.
Additionally, Burbidge has introduced a limited range of doors, drawers
and accessories in a foil that replicates the appearance of Wenge wood
- a rich dark chocolate coloured, heavily grained, African hardwood. The
Wenge components have been designed specifically to complement Opus white
gloss frontals and accessories. The two starkly contrasting colours can
be combined for dramatic effect, offering manufacturers and retailers
the opportunity to create inspirational kitchens that make a striking
visual statement in the home.
For more information about the Opus White Gloss and Opus Wenge ranges
of kitchen frontals and accessories and other Burbidge designs, please

or call 024 7667 1600.
Products can also be viewed in realistic room sets in a dedicated showroom
at Burbidge's Coventry manufacturing facility. The showroom is open 5
days a week between 8.30am and 5.00pm.

key for Bushboard to ensure that we always keep up with what the consumer
wants, and offer our retailers a comprehensive range of designs. We also
