Product Update New Nova Pro base mount runners

For some time now, a key consideration for interior designers has been efficient use of space. In particular, there is one space in the residential construction that is underutilised: the cabinet under the sink. Trends in Europe are shifting towards drawers being used in this space; unlike the hinged doors we still typically use in Australia today.

It has also become very common to include other systems within this space; pull-out bins and under-counter appliances such as water filtration systems or in sink food waste disposers. When you include one of these elements and consider the traditional plumbing approach – one is left with a cabinet space that is significantly underutilised.

Thinking towards commercial fit out spaces, the challenge faced could originate from the need to have a computer server beneath a serving counter, or varied storage spaces.

Traditionally, these applications have been limited to hinged doors. This has all changed with the launch of the new Nova Pro base mount runners.

Base mount runners offer the designer considerable flexibility. Once the requirement for side mounting runners is removed, the possibilities become endless. This means that we can easily design the utilisation of the space depending on the item that is included in the design requirement.

Your Nova Pro Scala drawer can be installed anywhere within the cabinet space, and the drawer front overlay is processed relative to this position. A total overlay of one-third cabinet width is possible. Typically, 300mm is required for many of the under-counter appliances, which means we can have a 900mm wide cabinet and utilise 600mm for drawer space.

Combining this with high drawer fronts and elegant internal drawers leads to beautiful design aesthetics and highly functional spaces. When using base mount runners in combination with a Nova Pro Scala H186 or H250 drawer side, it is possible to use drawer fronts up to 780mm in height.

Base mount runners retain the market leading pull out force of 20N, which is the market leading standard for all Nova Pro runners. As such, Nova Pro Base Mount runners can be specified for projects that are focussing on Assisted Living.

You can also use the existing Nova Pro pushto-open mechanisms for handless drawer fronts. ❚
