Touchy Feely with Microlinen Sink Texture
Tactile
is in, so for an alternative to the polished smoothness of stainless steel
take a look at the Microlinen texture from Carron
Phoenix. Microlinen is available on a selected range of sinks
including the new Isis 175 shown here.
‘Texture
is featuring more and more in the kitchen, whether the ultra smoothness
of high gloss doors or, by contrast, the deeper textures on worksurfaces.
Microlinen offers a complete design contrast to the standard polished
option and gives the sink a completely different look and feel.’
says Neil Clark, sales and marketing manager at Carron Phoenix.
Microlinen is a finely textured surface with a matt appearance that works
well colour-wise with brushed stainless steel and appliances. The soft
sheen of the metal has appealing low reflective qualities, while being
soft to the touch.
Compared to standard polished stainless steel it also requires less buffing
to keep up smart appearances, a bonus for those not big on kitchen chores.
Microlinen texture is available on all four of the premium specification
Isis sinks which are a recent addition to the Carron Phoenix portfolio.
The Isis 175 model features a spacious one and three quarter bowl option
with deeper than average 200mm bowls. All Isis sinks are reversible, with
a range of useful accessories available including basket, strainer bowl
and chopping board.

Pure
Inspiration with PWS' Milton Ivory Range
Inviting,
inspiring, intimate and individual, PWS
says that its new Milton Ivory range is all this and more. Embracing a
modern take on traditional in-frame principles, Milton Ivory has no frills
and pretentiousness, just a deceptively simple and clean design.
Crafted from timber with an ivory painted finish, Milton Ivory includes
a range of feature accessories to reflect a relaxed and refreshing interpretation
of this classic-inspired kitchen.
Comments Stuart Clarkson, PWS' Conceptual Design Manager, 'We always pay
close attention down to the very last detail when developing new furniture
ranges so the challenge with Milton was to create a range rich in features
without falling into the trap of making the look over-complicated or too
fussy. The result is a kitchen designed for modern living, one that will
retain its value and look beautiful for many years to come'.
The range includes an extensive collection of accessories, including curved
and glazed doors to create an enchanting interior, whether the look is
relaxed country or modern sophistication, such is the versatility of this
simple in-frame design. Milton is also available in a natural oak timber
and both finishes have achieved FIRA Gold Status.
A comprehensive application guide is available, which offers a step by
step approach to specifying and installing Milton in-frame.

Elegance
was the obvious name for PWS' new
range of inset sinks. Clean lined and hyper-hygienic, stainless steel
sinks can sometimes look cold and clinical, not so with the Elegance sinks,
with their soft corners and gentle contours the look is stylish and elegant.
Available in four designs Elegance is part of the company's newly developed
collection. With single and bowl-and-a-half combinations in various shapes
and sizes the range combines versatility with great visual appeal.
Comments Andrew Langford, PWS' Marketing Manager:
'Our sink range is clearly focused on high quality and strong design and
has been developed to complement our timber, granite and composite stone
worksurface portfolio.
'In recent years the sink has broken free of its dull workhorse image,
it's still retaining its functional purpose but now adopts a greater design
interest.'
PWS' sink collection extends to over 35 stainless steel options with 15
fireclay sinks as well as a single and bowl-and-a-half copper Belfast.
The range is supported with a comprehensive selection of taps.

Waste
Away - Easily Done with Carron Phoenix's New Range of Waste Disposers
Carron
Phoenix
has extended its sink and tap portfolio to offer a new product line in
eco-friendly waste disposers, offering customers a total solution for
the kitchen sink space from a single supplier.
Easy to fit, quiet to operate and efficient to use, waste disposers are
an asset to any kitchen and can be easily sold in as part of the sink
and tap combination.
Says Neil Clark sales and marketing manager:
‘Awareness for responsible waste management and recycling is growing
fast and waste disposers should be included as a standard product in the
kitchen. For a nominal investment, the householder gets an efficient and
hygienic method of waste disposal, whilst caring for the environment by
dramatically reducing waste that goes to landfill.’
The Carron range offers 4 models with varying speed, capacity and disposal
efficiency to cater for even the most demanding of kitchens. The range
includes one batch feed model and three switch operated models which come
with an air switch supplied in the box. The air switch can be fitted on
the sink or the worktop and, requiring no electricity for operation, reduces
any risk from flicking electric switches with wet hands.
The waste disposers are also sound insulated for quiet operation.
Operational efficiency at high speed disposes of foodstuffs in seconds
down the normal waste pipe and being septic safe, there is no risk of
germ build up. All models are backed by a parts and labour warranty.

Simplicity,
Elegance and Impressive Performance - A New Corner Cabinet Storage Display
from Häfele
Here
is a new take on the complex, slide-out corner storage unit that rose
to prominence for kitchens when it was launched in the '90s. But this
new version from Häfele says
it all for elegance and simplicity.
Designed for 900, 1,000 and 1,200mm corner cabinets, this new twin shelf
corner storage unit swings on a pole unit mounted centrally at the leading
edge of the cupboard at the point of the door opening. The shaped shelves
are designed to withdraw into the corner unit with guidance from a roller
fixed at the opposite point in the door opening.
The design subtlety is in the kidney-like shapes of the shelves themselves.
They fill the footprint of the corner unit to best advantage when closed
but when drawn towards the user they are guided forward for best access
advantage, eventually swinging clear of the cabinet enclosure almost completely.
A minimum cabinet depth of 490mm is required to house the mechanism and
the new corner unit is available in both left and right handed forms.
It is designed for smooth and very simple manual withdrawal and return.
Each shelving set comes complete with a pair of laminated wooden bases
finished in white and with polished chrome retaining rails and mechanisms
to match. All fixing materials and components are included together with
full user instructions.

Bold
and Bright Kitchen from In-Toto
The
Kolari/Malmo kitchen is a bright, fun kitchen that has been created by
combining two already popular In-toto
ranges.
The
new kitchen reflects the continuing popularity of high gloss lacquer,
combining brilliant white and bright yellow for maximum impact.
High quality materials teamed with design create a highly distinctive
look with the Kolari/Malmo kitchen. A granite effect worktop adds texture
to this kitchen and complements the white and yellow units.
Glass and stainless steel appliances and accessories are also perfect
partners for this bold colour and elegant design. The bright colours,
sleek materials and contemporary style will certainly make a strong design
statement in the home.
The cupboard units in this kitchen are handle-less, creating a sleek,
simple and minimalist look for this kitchen.
In-toto has a national network of almost fifty high street retailers,
and offers a range of kitchens to suit any taste, in both contemporary
and traditional styles.
Prices range between £10,000 - £25,000.

Zeta
215 Maxes up Sink Ergonomics
The
new Zeta 215 from Carron Phoenix is
one of the four models in the new Zeta stainless steel range with the
low profile perimeter, and offers a very capacious double bowl option.
The identical double bowls measure a roomy 360 x 420 x 180mm deep. They
are large enough to accommodate bulky items like oven inserts, roasting
tins and baking trays, thus marking an end to wrestling with the washing
up.
With symmetrical bowls side by side, the Zeta 215 is high on ergonomics,
giving the user a range of options for washing up, rinsing and food preparation.
This sink teams well with a multi-function tap such as Carron's Nautilux
or Argenta with extending hoses for rinsing crockery or foodstuffs. There
is a full range of accessories including stainless steel basket, strainer
bowl and wooden chopping board. The well proportioned drainer doubles
easily as a food prep area. Add in one of the new Carron waste disposers
for a complete solution to the kitchen sink space.
Says Neil Clark, sales and marketing manager at Carron Phoenix:
‘The current design trend for using wider cabinetry and creating
long runs of worksurface means that sinks can take on much larger proportions
to meet the functional and ergonomic needs of today's kitchens. Our new
Zeta 215 enables the customer to make a style statement, while meeting
their everyday functional needs.’
Zeta comes in four models - a choice of two single bowls; a one and half
bowl and a double bowl. The linear, square shaped bowls give Zeta a modern
design feel that makes it versatile for today's kitchen styles. It comes
in a choice of two stainless steel finishes: polished or textured linen.
Another modern style plus for Zeta is the low profile perimeter of the
sink design. This means that the sink sits just 4mm off the worksurface,
in keeping with the new generation of modern sinks within the Carron Phoenix
portfolio. It gives a crisp, almost seamless appearance between the sink
and worksurface normally only achieved with an undermount or flushmount
sink. Yet Zeta, as an inset sink, is installed with a single cut-out reducing
both time and installation costs.

PWS
in the Frame with New Milton Collection
PWS
has moved into in-frame kitchens following its launch of the Milton collection.
Old meets new with Milton, taking inspiration from traditional in-frame
craftmanship but bringing it bang up to date with the latest features
and touches for modern living.
The warmth of Milton oak brings the beauty of natural oak into the heart
of the home, cleverly mixing a hint of nostalgia with a wealth of essential
design elements and up to the minute features such as wide drawers and
lots of sleek and smooth curves.
Comments Stuart Clarkson, PWS' Conceptual Design Manager, 'We've researched
and developed, tweaked and refined, tuning the design to make sure its
absolutely right for the increasing demands that modern living places
on kitchens today.
Milton is able to create a living space beyond the kitchen and that is
becoming the key consideration for kitchen designers in the future. In-frame
is a furniture classic but we've reinvented it to prove that it can be
equally at home in urban loft living as it is in a rural rustic retreat'.
With an extensive menu of feature accessories, glazed doors and curved
doors the design opportunities with the Milton range are immense. Milton
is also available in a painted ivory finish, and both options have achieved
FIRA Gold status. A comprehensive application guide is available which
is brimming with inspiration for creating the most beautiful in-frame
kitchens.

lines and uses minimal detail for a modern yet classic look.

and stainless steel appliances complete the contemporary style.

and offers a range of kitchens to suit any taste, in both contemporary
and traditional styles.

Franke
Expands Popular Kubus Range
Following the popularity of the Kubus Stainless Steel undermount sinks,
which offer consumers sleek, symmetrical sinks in a range of sizes, Franke
has developed new Fragranite models.
The Fragranite Kubus sinks are available in Polar White and Graphite and
retain the shape of the Stainless Steel range, which sees the traditional
soft curve of the bowl replaced with a more geometric modern line.
Combining practicality and design, the 25mm corner radii provide the range
with a modern angular appearance, which will complement minimalistic style
kitchens, whilst also remaining practical and easy to clean.
The Kubus Fragranite range is available in four different models, offering
different configurations to suit consumers’ individual needs.
The range features the KBG 160, a one and a half bowl sink, as well as
three other individual bowls which can be co-ordinated as desired, including
the KBG 110 34 and the KBG 110 50, large and jumbo bowls. As with the
Stainless Steel Kubus, the half bowl within the range has the same front
to back dimensions as the main bowls, again adding to the overall geometric
style.
