New Kitchen Mixer Range & Brochure from Francis Pegler

When choosing a new kitchen tap, it is important to get the decision right, because you will be using it every day. Your design choice should be pleasing to the eye and enhance the qualities of your kitchen but your brand choice also has an important part to play.

To assist customers with this important choice, Doncaster based Pegler has produced a new brochure to showcase the company's latest kitchen mixer range.

This new brochure highlights the very latest designs from the Francis Pegler portfolio, which includes a collection of traditional, contemporary and avant-garde styles, with eco-friendly water saving designs. The range also includes Francis Pegler/Brita filter mixers. This range accepts Brita filters, so you can enjoy clear, clean fresh tasting Brita filtered water straight from the tap.

Water is crucial to our health, with experts recommending that we drink 2 litres of water every day and having Brita filtered water on tap encourages everyone to drink more.

Given the value of water, we also need to do much more to conserve our most valuable natural resource. Every year over 100 million litres of water is lost through leakages in UK homes (that's enough to fill an average sized reservoir) so we must all play our part in helping to promote eco-friendly solutions to the problem.

Pegler is an environmentally responsible company, which operates an eco-friendly water conservation policy, backed by ISO 14001 accreditation. All Francis Pegler products employ either the latest ceramic disc (leak prevention) technology or traditional washered valves and where applicable have WRAS approval.

With 15 styles of mixer to choose from, this eagerly awaited brochure provides full details on the styles and finishes available and allows easy comparison between the ranges, enabling customers to pick the design that suits their kitchen best.

Pegler Taps and Mixers Product Manager Mike Dickinson said, 'We realise that customers need as much information as possible when making decisions on choosing a new kitchen mixer, which has led us to revise our brochure. This allows us to keep customers up to date with the latest developments and trends while showcasing some of the best products to break through recently.'

Latest products include the range of taps that supply Brita filtered water, to the Galiceno sink mixer, previously only found in professional kitchens, but now available to all.

Further details on the Pegler product range can be found on the company website at http://www.pegler.co.uk or for your copy of the new brochure, please call 0870 1200 284

JJO PLC Presents its New ‘Book of Kitchens’ to Satisfy Demand for Contemporary Kitchens

J&J Ormerod PLC (JJO plc), the independent UK manufacturer of quality kitchens and bedrooms, announces the availability of its new brochure for the Colonial Kitchen ranges.

The Book of Kitchens again introduces new designs whilst also catering for existing fashions in the UK kitchen industry. Trends are moving rapidly in the kitchen market from timeless classics to contemporary units. The perennially popular Shaker style is challenged by the vogue for European styling epitomised by JJO's new Gloss designs. The range offers a choice of styles for any palate and recognises that traditional tastes still dominate the market. The Colonial ranges highlight the quality and innovation of the company's vision for the kitchen design market.

JJO's new literature displays its entire collection of kitchens from traditional solid wood kitchens to the height of fashion with its polyester gloss units in latte shades. The new Black Oak Gloss kitchen reaches the heights of glamour and is at the forefront of contemporary fashion. Cream and White are also introduced across the Colonial range in response to the enormous appeal of these colours exemplified by the new Colonial Cologne kitchen in cream. In addition to this latte palette, Colonial kitchens are also available in rich wood tones, including Beech, Walnut, Cherry, Winchester Oak and the new Castille kitchen in Natural Oak.

The definition of 'kitchen' no longer refers to just units and appliances. Every kitchen can now be dressed to reflect the desire for individuality and innovation which is sweeping the market. No two kitchens need be alike. JJO understands this wish to fill the kitchen with added value and in response has extended the range of accessories it offers. Featured throughout the Book of Kitchens is a wide selection of accessories, including handles, all of which can be matched to the full spectrum of kitchen styles, to create a look that fits around any colour scheme and lifestyle. The Colonial ranges offer broad choice of door, drawer and glazed unit sizes, enabling an infinite number of combinations to be created that will ensure the kitchen is both functional and unique to the homeowner. The new price list reinforces the accessories message with its affordability.

JJO also recognises that the most innovative way to add individuality and flair to a kitchen is by adding a glamorous work surface. JJO's range of work surfaces are all available with the Colonial kitchen ranges. The new worktops include new Square Edge worktops in a wider range of colourways, reflecting the European trend for fresh and contemporary kitchen surfaces in an unusual variety of thicknesses. The Square Edge surfaces feature crisp, clean lines, a trend increasingly adopted in Europe. JJO plc is dedicated to offering the UK market kitchens and accessories that are at the forefront of the fashions hailing from the Continent. This is particularly evident with the new colourways that have been added to its existing range. The new colours include two natural-look worktops in an industrial palette (Betton Hell Concrete and Grey Siam Teak) and two dramatic tiger-effect surfaces in ginger tones (Zebrano Mokka and Zebrano Natural). The streaky effect of the Zebrano worksurface has been taking the European market by storm - a trend that JJO plc predicts will happen in the UK.

The Colonial ranges deliver a fresh new approach to kitchen design. Offering 46 different kitchens to suit any taste with an extensive range of handles and work surfaces, the Colonial range is available via a comprehensive network of independent retailers and builders merchants.

JJO offers quality and competitively priced kitchens and bedrooms. With a rich heritage in the industry, the Company has a special focus on customer service, for example all national deliveries are guaranteed within 72 hours. JJO 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).

For a copy of the 92 page brochure or more information on JJO plc and the Colonial kitchen range, please contact JJO directly on 01706 877877 or alternatively email Natalie Peters on npeters@jjoplc.com.
