The weight is reduced by 30% by using corn and other yearly plants and both the stability and quality of the manufacturing process are maintained, making transport and installation even easier.”
“So how do you achieve the latest look in your kitchen whilst still being eco-friendly? Put simply, finishes! Premium door solutions are making it easy to create super-realistic natural effect kitchen schemes that replicate genuine raw materials and our new Euca colours will help you achieve a distinct wood coloured kitchen without the extra load or price tag!”
Now available in BlackLine, the new Euca Caramel and Euca Mocca colours can be designed with circumferential zero-joint edging in ever-popular black. Outlining and framing each piece of Caramel or Mocca coloured furniture for the height of definition, these new coffee brown colours demonstrate how wood can be modernised and used to enrich any contemporary kitchen concept.
