Another stunning kitchen transformation in Wigan

The latest transformation from Designs For Life Studio incorporated the relocation of a kitchen from it’s existing position to a larger attached outbuilding. This transformation required extensive building work in preparation to receive the planned modern kitchen.

The walls of this existing room were single skin, hence internal walls had to be built and insulated along with laying a new concrete floor, and jacking up the bellied ceiling 140mm before installing a new false ceiling.

After the extensive building work was complete the installation of the this kitchen in Wigan could take place. The kitchen was ultra modern black gloss with cream gloss pan drawer fascias for contrast, all faces were clad in black gloss to keep the sleek lines of the kitchen flowing. To complete the look of this stunning kitchen, black star galaxy granite worktop was fitted, and the floor tiles were a polished porcelain in applestone, and an unusual but highly effective larger format matching wall tile was installed.

The following video of this kitchen installation in wigan was taken before the glass splashback was fitted.

Grohe showers

All Grohe showers incorporate the Grohe Dreamspray technology. This formula of quality and innovation, creates optimal water distribution for an unparelled showering experience.

The unique design ensures that the same amount of water is delivered to each and every nozzle, ensuring a completely even spray. It doesn’t matter what spay pattern you’ve selected, Grohe ensures the perfect showering experience every time.

Limescale build up is also a thing of the past. Speed clean nozzles are incorporated into the shower and a quick wipe with a cloth is all that’s needed.

The advanced Cool Touch technology creates a thermal barrier between the hot water and the surface of the hand shower. This prevents the chrome finish from cracking and ensures that the surface is never hot.

If that’s not enough, Grohe showers come finished with Grohe Starlight. This provides a sparkling chrome finish, that compliments the overall look.
