The average surface area of homes is gradually reduced, but the need for available space in the kitchen is increasing, be it for storage, cooking, receiving guests, etc. We’ve found that offering extra use of space is never excessive. Our experience and active approach in this aspect allows us to offer unique solutions, trying to obtain the maximum usable net volume per total available space. We act in the three directions —depth, height and width—, and at the same time, in the possibility of stratifying the spaces and segmenting the supports in different heights, levels and separations.
In the height direction, the plinth drawer —with the capacity of a chest of drawers— makes it possible to have up to four levels of storage in each module. The entire usable height and depth below the countertop is transformed into a highly accessible volume. Even under the sink module there is a drawer high enough —from twenty-four centimeters— to store pots or packages of food.
The drawers on full-extension guides, with load capacities of up to seventy kilos, are located in the most ergonomic area for the user, and contain the elements that must be used most frequently.
The vertical wall immediately adjacent to the work surface has a range of utilities such as a roll holder, a spice rack, a container for wooden cutlery, aromatic herbs, knife holders, etc., which allow us to have what we need for preparation and cooking. In sight and within reach.
By means of tall cabinets and stackable columns adjustable to the height of the room, we can make true functional walls, which also offer an aesthetic aspect. The column cabinets integrate storage spaces and household appliances, adapting to each case through different heights and multiple interior distribution options: refrigerator modules, oven holders, provision holders, cleaning tool holders, blind modules, etc.
A better use of space also implies offering answers to the evident and latent needs of potential users whose demands are increasingly unique and individual.
The cutlery drawers have a modular base on which various utilities can be integrated: cutlery dividers, knife holders, spice holders, a tray for cutting bread, cutting boards, space to locate up to three service trays. The list could be completed with a roll holder for aluminum foil, plastic wrap and baking paper, infusions or coffee capsules, tablecloths, cloths and the most varied kitchen utensils.
In the drawers you can store the crockery properly ordered, and also pots, bowls, pans, etc. The wooden boxes are very useful to conveniently segment the interior of these large drawers, and keep the bottles of oil, vinegar, drinks, etc. organized. If we like order, they will be our best allies.
The equipment used in the kitchen is usually subjected to intensive use, unlike other rooms in the home. Therefore, an important decision factor is quality, which as a manufacturer we understand in two ways.
The first, referring to the materials and construction systems, allows the user to enjoy daily features such as smooth rolling, cushioning when closing, load capacity, good fit between the different parts of the furniture, etc. The union between the surface and the edge is one of the points to take into account, since a good seal is essential to achieve resistance to humidity and heat. The imperceptible transition between surface and edge is the best witness to the quality of the furniture’s finish. To deal with the risk of moisture in washing areas, cold areas, wet crockery, etc. We use the best possible material for the construction of these cabinets: plywood made with waterproof adhesives.
The second aspect of quality is reliability over time. All the materials we use exceed requirements and tests that we carry out in our own quality laboratory. Parameters such as the number of opening and closing cycles on all moving parts, corrosion resistance of metal parts, load resistance on shelves, slides, hinges, tensile strength and many other indicators are measured. We carry out continuous monitoring, from the development phase to the production phase, to ensure that the final product meets the strictest quality standards. This allows us to offer a 5-year guarantee on our kitchens.
