WITH hidden storage widely considered to be a key trend for kitchens in 2024, leading online supplier IronmongeryDirect has updated its portfolio with a wide range of solutions to help installers meet this design objective.
According to a commentator for The Times, concealing countertop appliances and storage areas with the likes of folding cabinets, hidden sections and pull-out shelving is set to be a key customer brief for kitchen projects this year. In response, IronmongeryDirect has a broad range of solutions that span from the simple and functional, to the clever and ingenious, with each providing installers with the essentials to meet the needs of customers looking to optimise their kitchen space.
Roland Etheridge, category manager at IronmongeryDirect comments, “As an essential centrepiece in many households, the kitchen has become a key focus for those looking to create order and calm to what is often a multifunctional living space. As such, the demand for hidden pantries and appliances is expected to continue this year, with many looking to find ways of reducing visual clutter. With a portfolio that spans over 18,000 products, IronmongeryDirect has a wide variety of solutions that offer convenience, function, design and organisation.”
Indeed, IronmongeryDirect considers its exclusive Klug pocket door range to be a key solution that will help to facilitate the creation of hidden pantries and larders. Using a horizontal track that slides the door into a cavity in the wall, carpenters and installers can create zones that can be opened or closed off neatly and quickly, as well as allowing homeowners to maximise floor space.
Backed by a comprehensive 10-year guarantee, the Klug Pocket Door Kits include the essential components for installation including universal headers, support studs, door hangers, door guides, screws and nails.
Further solutions to the retailer’s line-up include a new range of Emuca products that can be combined and configured to meet storage needs with ease. The collection includes pull out cabinet and larder organisers as well as useful accessories such as hanging cutlery and knife holders, and even a solution for neatly hanging a smart tablet away from the countertop.
Also in stock is the versatile MOVENTO range from Blum. This concealed runner system provides a sophisticated solution for ultra-smooth opening and closing of drawers. Engineered to provide excellent stability, these runners are suitable for heavy load bearing and deep drawers, so that even substantially sized appliances can be stored out of sight.
The AVENTOS wall cabinet range, also from Blum provides installers with enormous scope to provide easy and elegant access to cabinet contents with full freedom of movement using an in-built lift mechanism. The bi-folding variations in this range also provide a neat countertop solution that can conceal everything from kettles to air fryers.
Roland Etheridge at IronmongeryDirect concluded, “We are delighted to support the trade with more products added to our stocked collection, with a wide range of options that can help our customers enhance kitchen projects in response to this growing trend.”
