Quality testing Our vision is to become the benchmark for performance and quality in the industry, setting the standard for excellence and driving sustainable growth for years to come. We go the extra mile to ensure our kitchens stand up to everyday life. But how? Here’s what we test… Safe hands (and handles!) We’ve got a handle on safety – literally! All our handles are tested to meet the high standards of REACH, ensuring they’re free from harmful chemicals. Drawer champions We put our drawers through their paces by opening and closing them 100,000 times – that’s like going non-stop for 7 days straight! If our drawers can handle that, they’re more than ready for everyday life. Strong enough to swing on Our pivoting doors can hold up to 37kg – about the same as 4 fully-loaded backpacks! They’re designed to carry the weight without a hinge out of place. Sunshine-proof Let there be light! Thanks to our UV testing, our kitchen finishes will stay as fresh and vibrant as the day they were installed. Gorilla-strength wall cabinets We overload test our wall cabinets with a massive 194kg – equivalent to an adult silverback gorilla! So, whether it’s heavy dinnerware or a cupboard full of tins, they can handle whatever gets thrown into them (even an actual gorilla). Keep your cool We’ve got UK homes covered, even the damp ones! Our cabinet doors and worktops are tested to handle both regular and moisture-prone environments. Stain-fighting superstars Our cabinet doors are ready for battle against the heaviest of stains – coffee, tea and even blackcurrant juice. Your kitchen will stay spotless no matter what spills happen in the heat of cooking. Handle the heat Our laminate worktops are tested to resist the heat, that’s up to 160°C. 97
