Why Bushboard is putting installers first

Nick Jones, Sales Leader for Bushboard talks to The Installer about the company’s innovative design credentials and business support strategy that aims to put installers at the front and centre.

“Creating laminate surfaces that are both at the cuttingedge of design and easy to install is no mean feat. But at Bushboard it’s our purpose. We understand that even if a worksurface has the most beautiful design, if it’s not simple to install then we are not supporting our partners to stay competitive. We are dedicated to creating surfaces that consumers can enjoy for many years and installers won’t ‘dread’ to fit. Through constant improvement and innovative R&D processes we strive to make Bushboard a default choice for installers when choosing kitchen and bathroom surfaces.”

FLEXIBLE SIZES AND NO WASTAGE

When designing the Postform Decor range within Options & Omega, we ensured that installers were front of mind. By creating the entire range to incorporate 3m and 4.1m lengths of worksurface, we’ve enabled installers to cater for different length kitchens whilst also saving money and reducing waste from offcuts. The option to work with different worksurface lengths in a straightforward way, without having to cut to size, creates ease of use and flexibility, particularly when working on unusual shaped kitchens.

SPEED UP YOUR INSTALL

As the old adage goes “time is money”. But what if you could speed up the time it takes to install without compromising the quality of the task in hand? The devil is very much in the detail here which is why our

R&D team has created worktops in 600mm, 665mm and 900mm sizes. With a 665mm depth worktop you can install a full kitchen in less time as it provides the perfect amount of overhang, as well as space at the back, for standard 600mm cupboards.

GET THE AUTHENTIC LOOK OF TILES WITH THE SIMPLICITY OF A SPLASHBACK INSTALL

Tiles look fabulous, but they’re not so fun to install. Home to a diverse range of designs, from modern to Mediterranean-inspired, Bushboard’s splashbacks are a time and cost-effective solution to real ceramic tiles. Installers can while away hours individually sourcing, positioning and grouting tiles, and for many it can be a real pain point that doesn’t always yield justifiable profit. With Bushboard’s on-trend, tile-inspired splashbacks customers will receive quality and the look they desire without having to negotiate cost and time with their installer for complicated designs.

EASY INSTALLATION; FABULOUS DESIGN

As today’s consumer is not willing to compromise on style or quality, we want our installer partners to be able to give their customers and clients a stylish solution no matter what their budget is. We’re dedicated to ensuring all new introductions to the range are in keeping with the latest design trends. Marble, timber and concrete are becoming increasingly popular choices in the home, all of which can be found across Bushboard’s collections. Such as laminate ranges Options, with 40 beautiful designs on 28mm and 38mm postform profiles, the new Options range makes realistic decors and textures available to everyone; and Omega, with 50 decors across a range of profiles including 22mm square edge, 38mm square edge and 38mm postform, a collection designed to

make designing a premium kitchen more straight forward. Our compact laminate range, Evolve, looks and feels like stone, without the long and expensive template, cut and fit process; it is also easier to fit than most compact laminates, and offers a decorative finish on both sides so it’s ideal for matching cladding, shelving and wrap over details to reduce wastage.

BUSINESS AND INSTALLATION SUPPORT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Sometimes we just need to refresh what we already know. The Bushboard Installer Network is an information centre designed especially for our partners to access installation guides, videos and answers to frequently asked questions about our surfaces. The ‘here for you’ section of the information centre means we’re always by your side during installations and can be easily contacted to support with any technical issues.
