What aspects should be considered at the kitchen planning stage? www.blum.com/ideas Blum specialises in lift, hinge and pull-out systems. www.blum.com/tipspurchasing 8
Optimal space utilisation Special larder units, corner cabinets or sink cabinets transform available space into storage space, meaning everything is where it is needed. Full extension instead of shelves Fully extendible drawers provide excellent access even into the furthest corner. Gaining more space With drawers that are wide, high and deep, additional storage space is created in space that would otherwise be wasted. Proper work height The ideal working height (distance of 10 15 cm between the elbow and worktop) makes kitchen work even more convenient. Easy opening Furniture opens with just a light touch, as if by itself, thanks to the mechanical or electrical motion support system. Quiet closing Equipped with a high-quality dampening unit, drawers, lift systems and doors close silently and effortlessly. 9
