kitchen cabinet

This project used 54 ROOFBOX™ cabinets and kerbs to house many duct and ventilation penetrations across two roofs.

Using a monochrome palette with accents in brass, this bulthaup project illustrates how the clean clear lines of minimal cabinetry allow period and feature details to stand out. The AGA range cooker sits neatly between the base cabinets and the bespoke brass extractor hood enhances this focal point. The cabinets are in b3 laminate, graphite on the tall run and alpine white for the base units. The countertops are in composite stone and the Carrara marble backsplash on the rear wall tie the scheme together aesthetically. Photography by Alexander James.

AL AL attach particular importance to functional design and to the fitting of made-to-measure kitchens. As the kitchen has become a living space where the family spends long hours, it is paramount to feel well and comfortable in it. And you can’t ask for more when your kitchen is convenient, is made with hard-wearing materials and reflects your personality.

Making a development stand out is a priority for housebuilders, who want to attract buyers in an increasingly competitive marketplace. The kitchen is always going to be a key room for buyers, with the average Brit spending 253 minutes per week in the kitchen cooking meals. Add on top of that washing-up, cleaning, preparing packed lunches and even helping with homework, it’s fair to say that we spend a lot of time in the kitchen. So how can developers ensure they seduce buyers with a functional, striking kitchen, that also adds an element of luxury to daily life?

Rooms in computing centers with network cabinets are often fitted with false floors to accommodate the cabling. Through openings in the floors the cables are routed upwards. However, the cold air for cooling the servers escapes through these openings. With Clima-Tect®, these openings can be closed. Prepunched rectangles in the foam panels make it easier to pull out the cable openings so that the foam fits perfectly around the cables. Since Basotect® can be processed fiber-free, the sealing cushions can be installed while work is in progress.
