"Unfitted" free-standing kitchens
As you can see from the kitchen units shown below, the furniture is built as individual pieces often in a "framed" style, as would be found on a traditional old fashioned kitchen, to give an "unfitted" look.
Although this style looks more attractive, it is generally available at a higher cost than standard kitchen cupboards, due to the complexity of each unit. There are some large national kitchen Companies with cheaper priced "copy" units, but they are mostly offered with open shelves with little or no door coverage to reduce the cost, these cheaper units can develop into huge grease and dust traps, giving a very untidy look to the kitchen, this type of kitchen unit only looks good if quality items are purchased - cheap units although less in price are not a good option.
Unfitted units are only suitable for a very large kitchen as they require space all round to give them a grander "unfitted" style, but if you have some spare centre space, an individual piece can be designed in a standard kitchen for an island unit, this is available in our Cargo* range (see below).
An unfitted kitchen does not use continuous long runs; there is no wall full of cabinets and long lengths of worktop. Instead, individual pieces of furniture that often don't match are used for each workspace.
The disadvantage of the unfitted kitchen is that some storage space is lost. The advantage is that it opens up the room, makes it look larger and gives the room individuality, not crammed wall to wall with cupboards and appliances in regimented lines.
*Cargo is a simple system of furniture components which provides for a fresh, creative approach to kitchen design - at a reasonable cost.
A wide selection of free standing individual furniture pieces - dressers, work areas, and island units can be made using standard modular kitchen carcases and door/drawer fascias within a special frame, to contain it as a solid robust individual piece of furniture.
