Carron Phoenix Launches new Delta Round Bowl Sink Range

New to the Carron Phoenix portfolio is the Delta range of round bowl sinks which is firmly pitched at satisfying mid market need for a high specification, value for money round bowl product.

Delta is available as a competitively priced sink & tap pack with a chrome Aztec tap and is suitable for the retail and contract market where there is strong demand for round bowl sinks.

Delta is a high specification, fully polished round bowl range. The Delta 100 measures 855mm x 450mm overall and features a circular single bowl and drainer with a seamless, pressed rim. It is suitable for compact kitchens fitting a 500mm cabinet. The Delta 400 is a classic round bowl and can be teamed with a separate drainer if required. Measuring 440mm overall, with a generous bowl size of 380mm diameter and a depth of 190mm, it's a good choice for island units. Both sink models are available with chopping board and wire basket accessories as optional.

Says Neil Clark, sales and marketing manager:
‘Delta is a superb fit for the developer and builder sectors. It hits exactly the right price point while meeting the need for a high quality, functional product that brings added value and style to contract kitchens.’

Black is the New Black - J&J Ormerod Unveils its New Look Black Oak Gloss Kitchen

J&J Ormerod has launched the latest in high fashion kitchens with its Black Oak Gloss finish. The new door combines a black oak veneer with an ultra-high gloss polyester finish to create a dramatic and striking look. Its smooth gloss surface, which curves from left to right, allows the subtlest hint of woodgrain to show through to add texture to this contemporary design. This new addition to the Gloss range comes with the generous dealer margins that apply to all J&J Ormerod kitchens.

The hand polished curvaceous gloss units with deep drawers make a contemporary statement, especially when teamed with a striking worksurface, for example the opaque burgundy glass surface from Esquire, and will create a show-stopping display in any retailer's showroom. As with all kitchens in J&J Ormerod's Colonial range, the Black Oak Gloss kitchen incorporates Blum's quality fittings and hinge solutions throughout.

The Gloss Kitchen range is also available in White, Latte, Cream and Coffee. An extensive range of units, accessories and handles are available to accommodate the most demanding of designs and create an individual kitchen.

The curved design of J&J Ormerod's Black Oak Gloss door has been made possible by a recent major investment by the company in a new instrument. The BIMA P480V enables kitchen doors to be created in unusual shapes using one single machine, whereas previously a number of machines would have been required. J&J Ormerod says that it is the first kitchen manufacturer to make use of this technology.

Prices start from £228 for an 800mm base unit in Black Oak Gloss and £400 for a 600mm drawer pack inclusive of VAT.

J&J Ormerod says that it places a special focus on customer service and support. As a consequence dealers can take advantage of guaranteed delivery of the Colonial range within 24-48 hours.

J&J Ormerod is a corporate member of the KBSA (Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialist Association), a long term member of ASFI (Association of Suppliers to the Furniture Industry) and a supporter of FIRA (Furniture Industry Research Association).

K Kitchens Go Bold & Dramatic

PJH Distribution has set the scene for 2006's latest look with the launch of two new interchangeable black and cream kitchens from its 'K Kitchens' Collection - the Kuartz and the Krystal door designs.

The company says that with a black, high gloss vinyl finish, Kuartz is bold and will make an impact on any kitchen. With a smooth gloss finish this kitchen is easy to clean, allowing light to bounce around the room. Like opposites attract, this door teams up perfectly with Krystal - a clean, cream coloured vinyl door in the same slab design.

Sally Hough of PJH Distribution explains: ‘Kuartz and Krystal can easily be combined, allowing customers to tailor-make kitchen layouts - such as featuring cream doors on wall units and black doors on base units. The results can be stunning, making way for an ultra modern look - a real bold design statement.’

The streamlined contemporary style is enhanced yet further with the addition of a long, 14mm T-bar aluminium handle - or an option to upgrade, with a thicker 22mm handle.

Another unique selling point of the new Kuartz/Krystal kitchen - worth highlighting to consumers during the sale - is the new aluminium framed bi-fold glass door system. This stylish folding door features frosted glass and fits into a 1000mm wall carcase - and is both practical and contemporary - folding upwards from the centre via aluminium handles.

Worktops featured with each furniture collection include a natural rustic laminate, with Kuartz, and a textured midnight granite, with Krystal.

Burbidge Hits a Design High with Mezzo

Burbidge has launched the Italian-inspired Mezzo gloss range of kitchen frontals and accessories. With Mezzo, Burbidge is offering kitchen manufacturers and retailers, as well as property developers and other contract kitchen purchasers, a stylish yet cost competitive contemporary kitchen design.

Mezzo is a kitchen that has been designed to be noticed. The sleek slab frontals and accessories, which are manufactured from particle board with a gloss melamine fascia, are available in four colours - ice blue, black, white and cream. ‘However, perhaps the most striking design detail of the Mezzo kitchen is the very 'in vogue' integral handle option,’ says the company.

Two modern aluminium handle options are available - a proportional inset and a hand-size inset - both of which are fitted at manufacturing stage. As its description suggests, the proportional inset handle is designed so that whatever size door, the handle which forms the top or bottom of the frontal as required will be proportionally the same size. Whether an extra wide pan drawer is chosen or a narrow cabinet door, the handle will always span the width of the frontal leaving 50mm each side.

The hand-size handle, as with the proportional handle, is fitted flush into the top or bottom of the door frame centrally. The Mezzo doors are also available without any handles if required.

To accompany the frontals there are colour matched accessories such as wide pilasters and 28mm thick end panels. Alternatively aluminium accessories from Burbidge's popular Al-Tec collection can also be used to add further contemporary appeal.

Ben Burbidge, managing director, comments: ‘Mezzo offers customers all the design benefits that you would associate with a Burbidge kitchen, yet without the premium price that would be expected if it were a solid wood or foil wrap manufactured design. We believe that this design will appeal to anyone who's looking to create an eye-catching, ultra modern kitchen that doesn't cost the earth, but does have a real 'WOW' factor!’

Burbidge is a UK kitchen frontals and accessories manufacturer. The company's products can be viewed in realistic rooms sets in its showroom in Coventry. Please call 024 7667 1600 for further information.
