Hi-Gloss Lacquered Kitchen with Encore Worktops - snezza - 19-12-2014
A few pics before I started (the customer removed the original Kitchen).
The job entailed removal of Vinyl floor tiles, self-leveling the floor and then fully tiling the floor prior to fitting the kitchen, all new Electrical work, making good the walls, and re-plumbed.

I finally got it finished today, some of the pics don't do it justice TBH as it was a really bright day and the Sun beaming in through the windows don't do it any favours, but here it is anyway...!!!!

All the pics were taken on my phone (sorry about the quality)
Kitchen is British with High Gloss Cream Lacquered doors, Encore Black Sparkle worktops, Blanco Sink & Tap + R/O Tap, Siemens Ovens, Combi, Coffee Machine, Int D/W, Int W/M, Int T/D, 6 burner Gas Hob, Int Tall Fri/Free, Blanco Angled cooker hood and unbranded Wine Cooler Fridge.
The wall tiles were an absolute B...T..D to cut and fit...
Every one had to be wet cut on a Bridge Saw....
Still, I got there in the end. I've got one day more now (Monday) and then that's me done until after Xmas.

You done a grand job mate, even though the Tiling and electric's were thown at you last minute you came up trumps again!!
Ended the year on another top quality installation, as you saw by the text from the customer, he is as happy as a sandboy

I had a labourer giving me a hand, but it was a lot of work, especially (as Designer Paddy said) all the electrical work and the floor tiling was supposed to have been done before I turned up to start the fit
The next door neighbor came in yesterday for a look and has now asked me to quote him for his new kitchen.

Nice one Snezza, top fit by the looks of it.
I like the Vonda style, matched with its price point its a winner.
21st picture down - sneaky cabinet at the rear of the curved corner, doesn't the manufacturer have a full depth curved corner unit ? …… if not a clever use of otherwise dead space.

This particular British supplier doesn't do a full depth unit (560 deep).
The curved unit is 300x300 and the unit behind it is 260 wide.
The worktops were a fair bit of work especially with the external curves, but I managed to do a lot of the pre-fabrication in my workshop, so it really helps reduce the time on site. Even so, I was still on the job for 13 days.

Think the split faced mosaic tiles work really well in that design. You're luckly they were 'faked' ones rather than the actual mosaics which would have had you screaming even more!
As for the encore tops, i'm just not sure i've got the patience any more. I think i'd much rather learn how to fabiricate corian then mess around with some of these other systems. Looks like a hell of work has gone in to them, I know corian does too, but think I would enjoy tat a bit more. Good luck to those of you going.
One thing Sneezer, It all seems you don't have much trouble up selling appliances, mmost of your kitchen seem to have £6k plus off applainces
Nice one
