olte tailors its kitchens to create seamless designs that stay in keeping with today’s open-plan living trend. From modular units with carcasses that have the same décor inside and out, to prime finishes, warm wood shades, ambient lighting and its handleless kitchen, MatrixArt, it has never been simpler to design a super sleek living space. MatrixArt can be complemented with an illuminated upper handle strip, which can be paired with LED-profiles in the recess, whilst panels continue the linear look seamlessly around the sides of base units and islands. In combination, a 25mm worktop has a floating appearance when combined with MatrixArt handleless. This effect is enhanced by ambient lighting, i.e. LED-profile in the upper handle trim of MatrixArt. MatrixArt covers all the main finishes and décors in selected price groups from one to eight. Bob Marsden, National Retail Sales Manager UK, sees carefully matched ingredients as an elemental part in creating a cosy atmosphere: “As Nolte offers an extensive range of panels and worktops, it is relatively easy to create designs that allow a harmonious transition from kitchen to living area. It is important that the furniture has a theme connected to the kitchen without looking like it has just been expanded into the living area. We feel that our wood finishes create the perfect look.”
Nolte’s door front Glas Tec Satin glass finish is available in White and Quartz Grey. Shown above in a MatrixArt handleless design and with matching open shelves, it emphasises the modern living concept.
Shown in Tobacco Oak shade is a wood veneer finish from the Nature door range. The wall profile can be equipped with modular accessories and is featured with a 25mm worktop.
Paying attention to detail, Nolte has created a MatrixArt design with matching panels around the sides, an illuminated upper handle strip and a 25mm worktop.
Playing with vertical and horizontal lines, MatrixArt offers a handle trim incorporated into the carcass. Open shelves matching the Tobacco Oak wood veneer, ambient lighting and a 25mm worktop are further ingredients for this living kitchen.

The new titanium finish perfectly integrates the hinge into the design of the cabinet conveying a sensation of warmth and at the same time incorporating modern functionality. The colour, new and different compared with the traditional blued or nickel-plated finishes, is less invasive and has a muted sheen. The titanium reflections make this hinge ideal in combination with darker interiors and with the numerous shades of wood available. The good reflection properties and the technological aspect of the hinge allow a perfect integration with the place where it is to be inserted, also suitable in the lightest interiors. The corrosion strength is considerably increased compared to the classic nickel-plated finish.

eicester-based door and accessory supplier Marpatt is currently developing a new product range for its 2014 brochure. Available to order later this year, the new products have been designed to meet the demands of the challenging and changing market place. With flexibility at the forefront of Marpatt’s designs, it has invested considerably in its in-house finishing department and workshop. A distinct advantage for the door supplier, the expansion, which has seen a steady increase in jobs and the introduction of new automated spraying and preparation machinery, has resulted in a turnaround time of just three to four weeks for hand-finished, top quality painted surfaces. Marpatt’s colour-matching service also gives buyers the freedom to choose the exact colour they want using colour charts and RAL numbers. It’s also able to match specific items provided by the customer to create a completely unique design using painted wood, matt painted or ultra high gloss finishes. Mark Koeberle, Marketing Director of Marpatt, adds, “We don’t rely on outside finishing which allows us to create consistently high-quality products on a short lead-time. This, along with a swift service on any remedials, results in unparalleled design flexibility and a faster installation and sign off.” Available later in the year, the new Marpatt brochure will feature an extended range of new and existing products and include news about its new high gloss finish in any colour.
The Horizon collection offers 22mm slab doors in high gloss, wood veneer and painted matt finishes. Reflecting the popularity of painted doors, Marpatt has introduced eighteen paint colours since the collection was launched. Pictured above in Horizon gloss and Horizon Oak in Blue Steel.

wide range of waste separation systems is continually being optimised and expanded at VauthSagel. A worldwide best-seller, the Öko liner has been extended to include the innovative organisational drawer. This can flexibly accommodate beautifully-shaped plastic containers, optimally utilising limited storage space below the kitchen sink and above the waste separation system. The organisational drawer system has also been presented with an internationally-renowned award in 2014.

It stands out with its cushioned front-panel drawer and is based on a Vauth-Sagel guide system. Opening and closing is easy and virtually silent. Furthermore, the two installation heights and the numerous different container sizes offer customised comfort. This allow users to comply with widely differing local waste disposal stipulations or to cater to customer-specific depth requirements that enable the installation of under-sink water heaters – all with the utmost ease using the modular system. The waste separation system also closes with a sturdy, double powder-coated metal lid, which can also be used as an additional shelf. Positioned above the Öko liner, the new organisational drawer not only cleverly exploits the available storage space, it also organises the space with a whole range of plastic containers of differing sizes. These can be flexibly inserted into the drawer, accommodating water connections within the kitchen sink cabinet and allowing users to position their containers depending on their personal requirements.

ood panel and laminate manufacturer EGGER UK is following up its most successful product launch with the introduction of a number of new décors and textures over the next 12 months. Its ST27 painted wood-effect boards, launched in January, were an immediate hit with furniture manufacturers and retailers looking for something that is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing but at a significantly lower cost. Available in ten neutral solid colours with an underlying oak-grain texture, as well as a paintinggrade option, the sector quickly embraced the use of the new product range for carcasses, end panels, plinths and doors. An extension to Egger’s market-leading ZOOM Collection sees the appearance of 23 new décors and six completely new textures as the company continues to lead the way in creating panels that even experts struggle to tell apart from a solid wood or veneer. Additionally, the manufacturer’s massive investment in synchronised pore technology where the décor and surface texture are perfectly aligned - brings three new varieties into the ZOOM Collection. Each has its own unique character from subtle and elegant to rustic. Egger believes texture will remain key to new product development in the KBB sector as increasingly-realistic finishes coupled with MFC’s added advantages of colour consistency over the lifetime of the furniture, wear resistance, low maintenance and ease of manufacture become even more widely-recognised.
H1793 ST27
FEELWOOD ELEGANCE The Feelwood Elegance ST27 texture exudes a modern and sophisticated feel whilst demonstrating the beauty and subtleness of nature.
FEELWOOD AMBIANCE With its large grain pattern, Feelwood Ambiance ST29 texture is ideal for large applications, with the mattgloss finish providing an air of grandeur.

BRUSHED WOOD 0845 606 8888

The latest décors from Egger’s Zoom 2014 update include a range of synchronised pore surfaces, where grain and texture are aligned and soft matt and industrial ceramic styles have been designed to create authentic and striking reproductions.

In addition to dramatic concept pieces and creative features, three exciting new effects - Anise, Prism and Orka - were also previewed. The three new colours add further diversity to the range and bring the total number of effects to 20. The ease and practicality of working with MISTRAL and the expansion of Karonia’s customer support programme have been key to the surge in its popularity. Installers have a product that is straightforward and efficient to work with and the consumer has the means to add further creative dimensions to their kitchen design. To accompany the expanded range, a new brochure was introduced at kbb2014 to highlight the features and benefits of the MISTRAL range through a series of inspirational real-life installations. New point of sale material is also available, demonstrating the potential of MISTRAL to elevate a standard kitchen into the realm of luxury. Andrew Pickup, Director, adds, “MISTRAL offers unlimited scope when it comes to imaginative kitchen design. Through our promotional literature we want to share ideas so that designers and homeowners alike will be inspired to create their own unique environments.”
The solid format and 25mm depth of MISTRAL, shown here in Consera, means that recessed wet areas and deep drainer grooves allowing water to drain naturally towards the sink are easy to create.
Galaxy works well with wooden cabinets and also as a striking contrast to white furniture as shown here. Using a completely solid material like MISTRAL means any shape, curve or edge profile can be successfully achieved.

aesarstone has expanded its palette of quartz surfaces with its fabulous new Supernatural Collection. Inspired by some of the world’s most beautiful marble, the Supernatural colours Emperadoro, Woodlands, Piatra Grey, Dreamy Marfil, Frosty Carrina, London Grey and Calacatta - are perfectly in tune with the muted, chalky and understated colour palettes that are currently proving so popular for interiors. This collection is aptly named; the earthy tones, textures and delicate veining of the Supernatural colours all bring to mind the exceptional beauty and tactility of marble. Yet like all Caesarstone surfaces, the Supernatural
Collection is a highly sophisticated quartz composite that is created from 93% natural materials. The remaining 7% is a closely guarded Caesarstone secret but it is a composite that - when it comes to kitchen and bathroom applications is one of the most versatile and durable materials available. Unlike marble, Caesarstone’s Supernatural Collection surfaces are non-porous meaning that a spilt glass of red wine needn’t be a disaster. In fact, Caesarstone will withstand a wide range of mishaps and misdemeanours and is largely resistant to scratched and staining. It also offers twice the flexural strength of granite and does not require sealing.

ince it was founded by Rob Jull in 2002, RAK Ceramics’ UK market share has steadily increased - along with its product portfolio. Synonymous with quality and value, the brand is represented in over 2,500 retail showrooms. Now, with the new Resort Range firmly established, RAK looks set to break into new markets. Officially launched at kbb2014, RAK’s modern, elegantly styled Resort range offers something rather special. It provides a one-stop-shop, in terms of product offer, but it also offers a new degree of flexibility, along with RAK’s innovative next generation rimless design, Hygiene+. A wealth of different WC and basin formats, and installation options, give the consumer huge scope in terms of individual design, practicality and comfort. Resort offers six WC configurations, including close-coupled maxi and mini projections, in closed and open backed formats, as well as back-to-wall and wall hung designs. There are seven different basin designs - from a space-saving corner format, to sleek rectangular and counter-top bowls. Many can be under-mounted or inset and, like the WCs, two separate pedestal height options are also offered; ideal for taller or elderly users - and more comfortable for most adults. RAK’s new Hygiene+ features across all Resort sanitaryware and combines the cleanliness benefits of a rimless format and a sleek new contemporary design. The new format eliminates the need for a hidden toilet rim or channel; water is fired from three separate jets, ensuring that the whole surface of the pan is flushed, both vertically and horizontally. As germs and limescale cannot collect under a rim, the toilet pan is easy to wipe clean and the need to use harsh, ‘directional’ cleaners is eliminated. “Rimless sanitaryware was first developed for niche sectors, like hospitals and rest homes. Now, its practical benefits are being embraced by consumers and our new Resort designs provide a stylish, consumer-friendly alternative to previous commercial formats,” explained Rob Jull, Managing Director of RAK Ceramics UK. As well as sanitaryware and basins, the Resort Range also includes new 8mm easy-clean glass shower enclosures; oak wood finish and white gloss cabinets, featuring ambient lighting; illuminated mirrors and bathroom accessories. The Resort range is only available exclusively through dealerships specifically appointed by RAK UK Ltd. If you feel you wish to be appointed, contact RAK’s Marketing Department on 01730 237850 or email bianca.h@rakceramics.co.uk
RAK’s Cementina bathroom tiles offer a robust urban design that is suitable for walls and floor installations.

he innovative Select collection from German bathroom specialist Hansgrohe includes Raindance Select hand showers, overhead showers and showerpipes with ShowerSelect and ShowerTablet thermostatic bath/shower controls, all with a simple push button ‘select’ operation. Intuitive and enjoyable to use for all ages, even with soapy hands, there are no complex electronics, just a reliable mechanical control. Hansgrohe’s latest additions to the Select range include the ShowerSelect S concealed thermostat in a new round design and new ShowerSelect manual mixers to complement the existing thermostatic options and meet the widest range of installation needs. The new ShowerSelect mixers are ideal for situations where a thermostatic solution is not required. They also come in the two design variants: with square or round wall plates.
This new ShowerSelect shower solution features an integrated shower support and hose connection. It offers a clean look, even for complex shower systems. Shower functions are clearly marked with icons, making operation easier for the user. This Select concept is based on an innovative shut-off valve, which enables the water flow to be controlled at the simple touch of a button, and no longer by rotating. The person showering can easily turn the water on and off or select the required jet type, all at the touch of a button. A concealed installation solution in the shower area has its advantages: the technology is hidden in the wall making the shower area look tidy and uncluttered, and allowing greater freedom of movement for the user.

The latest example is an extensive new range of mirrored products. The Mirror option is now available on a wide selection of products across the company’s Classic Collection and its luxury 8mm Coastline Collection. Uniquely, the mirrored effect is available not only on complete panels but also as an inset panel that can create a whole new look for the bathroom. The Mirror products help to visually expand any room by reflecting light and creating the illusion of space. At the same time, the mirrored element also provides privacy for the shower user; whilst letting light through, it effectively obscures the user for discrete showering. With over 60 different products to choose from between the Classic and Coastline Collection, Lakes Bathrooms offers impressive choice, matched by its high standard of service and support for the trade.
