We will always try to have as few joints as possible across your worktops, this lets you run wild with your culinary creativity. Though joints can collect debris and bacteria, the less you have the less you need to worry about bacteria and germs. Although this isn’t always possible, if we have to put joints in we will always put them where they will cause the least disruption. We use a colour-coded sealant to make any joints as unintrusive as possible.
it’s all about the sink
An all-purpose sink is vital in the food lovers’ kitchen, it makes cleaning fruit and veg a doddle, and will make your cooking so much easier and pleasurable. When it comes to the sink, bigger is generally better and a double sink is an optimum arrangement. Tall taps allow for easy access where large pots and dishes are concerned, and a flexible, detachable hose is a godsend. If you’re lucky enough to have a kitchen island, a sink is a valuable extra. If not, make sure the sink is next to a large worktop space to make all the food prep easy.
There is such a variety of sinks on the market, from stainless steel to Belfast, ceramic to enamel. You can even get sinks clad in the same material as your worktops, for a truly seamless look. Our range of 1810 sinks and taps has something for everyone.
kitchen Ventilation
Cooking smells are inevitable when preparing meals, so an extractor that works well is essential. As well as the classic over-hob version, you can also have one that’s integrated into the worktop and pops up when needed. Very handy for island hobs.
