ECO Worktop made from recycled materials

Martins of Harborough, based in Market Haborough, are now proud suppliers of ECO by Consentino who are leading the wya with their new and exciting worktop that is produced from 75% of recycled materials! These materials consist of glass, mirror, ceramics and vitrified ash. The remaining 25% is made up from a blend of quartz, natural stone, resin and pigments.

We believe this material is ideal for kitchens and bathroom countertops as it has an extremely low rate of water abosorption and porosity and its a compact, hard surface resistant to impact, chemical products and scratches, Not only is the product well made it has a quality finish and looks fantastic. there also is a good selection of coours, all of which would compliment a top of the range kitchen, Here at Martins of Harborough, our particular favourites are White Diamond and Black Forest but of course we can supply all of the lovely designs.

Achieving the Perfect Design

The perfect kitchen starts with the perfect design and most kitchen showrooms offer a no obligation designing service.

When you go to a large high street chain store, designs have to be put together within limited time ‘while you wait’ so you may or may not get everything you need and is it really going to be everything you desire from your new kitchen? You need somebody to take time over designing your kitchen, give you some different ideas and be given a choice of kitchen manufacturers. You want to be inspired and have pleasure creating this new living area and be 110% happy that you have achieved the best possible design and made the most of the space available with adequate storage!

Has greater protection against stains? UV resistant protecting against discolouring and water and oil resistant?

The new SenSa surfaces by Cosentino provide all of this and not only that, another benefit is that its maintenance free – unlike many high quality surfaces. Over time, your kitchen worktop will continue to look as good as when it was first installed maintaining its natural beauty and with a 10 year warranty, it’s guaranteed.

De Dietrich & Neff Award Shortlist

Neff and De Dietrich have both reached the top 5 in the KBB (Kitchens, Bedrooms, Bathrooms) award shortlist for ‘Readers Design 2010’.

De Dietrich DOP895B Oven
Showcased on The Gadget Show, this A-rated oven features a tilting touch-sensitive control panel with an intelligent cooking system with 16 automatic cooking programmes, 44 pre-programmed recipes (cooking guide) and 10 pre-programmed low temperature dishes and with the continual assessment of the moisture of the food, you get optimum cooking results. The model also has a superior cleaning system and excellent safety features.

Neff SlideAway Oven Door
A totally unique product that has only recently hit the market but made a long lasting impression! The Neff SlideAway door slides neatly under the oven, saving space and provides full access into the appliance. Seeing is believing with this fantastic product, which is an optional upgrade on Stainless Steel models. Visit the Neff website for video demonstration.

Both manufacturers continually drive technology forward bringing new innovations to the market place, for example De Detrich were the first to introduce Pyroclean ovens in 1982, leading the market with superior self cleaning products and Neff’s breakthrough products include CircoTherm, a more economical and even cooking system.

Martins of Harborough, kitchen and bedroom showroom based in Market Harborough, is a retailer of both manufacturers appliances and Director, Glen Martin, is just as enthusiastic about these two designs; “De Detrich & Neff both offer a great range of products and both new designs are very worthy winners of KBB’s respectable award. I have no hesitation in recommended both brands for innovation, design, style and quality”

Now there's even more to Corian...

Corian is a worktop material and it is very popular as it can be carved, routed or worked like wood, moulded, thermoformed or inlayed. It is a unique blend of minerals and acrylic which creates a stone-hard surface that will last a lifetime with so many design possibilities. Even more impressive is that some of DuPont's new versions include up to 25% recycled content, along with even more colour varieties.

This solution will assist kitchen designers and suppliers like Martins of Harborough, based in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. Director and Chief Designer, Glen Martin, explains, “Consumers want perfection, particularly in the high end market where we specialise, and to have a material that has so much design flexibility, Corian assists us to achieve the quality and individual design our clients desire”.

Coffee Chic...not just a trend, a lifestyle!

Martins of Harborough Ltd have noticed the upward interest in built-in coffee machines, which would not be predictable in the current economic climate with most consumer spending being more practical, questionning; 'Do I really need this?'.

However, when it comes to coffee machines, seen as a more luxury item in the past, it seems that this is becoming a ‘must have’ when purchasing a new kitchen. It does add a chic, continental, cosmopolitan edge to ones kitchen and it's a fantastic addition for entertaining. But not only that, on a day to day basis in these busy times, its convenient and a pleasure to enjoy.

We like the Fagor 2MQC-A10X as it doesn’t need to be plumbed in and it has an automatic cleaning function!

Martins of Harborough Ltd can recommend other good brands supplying similar models are Baumatic, Neff and Smeg.
