English V's German

[snezza]

..........
The other plus points with the Germans is that they will ask for all the appliance model numbers so they will ensure the appliances fit perfectly. On this one for example there is a plinth for the fridge freezer to sit on so it lines up with 70/30 doors, the oven towers have had the top doors made to measure so no fillers, the drawer unit under the hob has had the top drawer reduced in height internally and a perforated board installed so that the induction hob doesn't foul the drawers. I can get my English cab makers to do the same but it is for me to supply the spec and drawings of what I want rather than just pinging over some model numbers.

Obviously I tend to focus more on the aesthetics but I think this is one of the biggest things that let down 'mid range' UK kitchens.

One of my Italian suppliers on certain kitchen models even want to know the sink and tap specification as well so they can supply the correct front and rear rails should either need rebating.

In my opinion, these are the sort of things that differentiate quality from run-of-the-mill.

It also speeds up the installation time, therefore, often reduces the installation costs.
