Ask the experts to solve your problem

writes I’m planning the renovation of my kitchen and I’m keen on a contemporary look. Are there any kitchen units that have cupboards and drawers without handles with a push-to-close action to enhance a sleek design? Elwyn Sykes, national sales manager for The Eclipse Group, replies We recommend cabinetry with large or wide fronts and clear-cut design lines for a sleek, modern look. Use drawers where possible as they optimise space and create practical storage that is easy to access. Blum drawer systems such as the Legrabox or Tandembox antaro with sleek metal sides have runners that are hidden from view underneath the drawer base.

With Blum’s innovative motion technology, Tip-On, a mechanical opening support, and Blumotion, a unique dampening system, drawers will glide open with a single gentle touch on the front. To close smoothly, simply push the drawer.

With our Aventos systems, fewer cabinet doors are required, which is perfect for your minimalist design requirements. The Aventos system lifts wall cabinet fronts up and out of the way and you can stop them in any position; this allows you to use both hands to access the contents.

Blum products come with a lifetime guarantee for peace of mind.
