COOLDELUXE - THE EXTRA EFFICIENTPREMIUM CLASSAll Neff appliances represent solutions that deliver clear, practical
improvements and set industry standards for usability and economical
use of resources. CoolDeluxe, the new generation of Neff built in
refrigeration is a good example of this. The five new models (two
fridges, two freezers and one fridge/freezer) demonstrate the company's
quest for perfection in three areas - flexibility, optimal use of space and
energy efficiency. These premium class appliances are packed with user
benefits that are an invaluable aid to sales.
At the heart of the CoolDeluxe series is the clever compressor unit
solution. The state of the art variable output compressor as well as the
condenser and ventilation technology has been neatly integrated into
the base, rather than being mounted on the back. This results in more
internal space. The bottom drawer is useable to its full depth, providing
up to 95 percent more volume than previously - the equivalent of up to
16 one litre milk cartons.
Right: The fully integrated CoolDeluxecollection offers retailers valuable benefits
in terms of design and trouble freeinstallation. Fully integrated CoolDeluxe
fridges and freezers can be installed side byside to provide a complete cooling centre
that is packed with features. The innovativetechnology used to manufacture
CoolDeluxe appliances opens up newpossibilities for kitchen planning. Attractivehigh cabinet solutions can be implemented
at eye level to render the refrigeratorcompletely invisible because there is noneed for an unsightly ventilation grill on
top of the housing unit. Shown right, theK8345 combination fridge/freezer.
Above: All three CoolDeluxe fridges have a special VitaFresh compartment whichkeeps the temperature consistently slightly above 0oC and is independent from the
rest of the fridge. VitaFresh has two areas - a wet and a dry zone. The dry zoneoperates at 50 percent humidity for fish and meat while the wet or moist zone
operates at 90 percent humidity which extends the life of fruit and vegetables. Inthese conditions, nutrients and vitamins are preserved for longer. Due to an AirFresh
filter within these zones the intermingling of smells is prevented.
Easy to fit,easy to plan

Above: EasyLift shelf and door compartments make the interior of the fridge flexible and easy toorganise. CoolDeluxe has innovative interior features such as transparent drawers on telescopic rails,deep door racks, variable compartments and the 26 litre Big Box in the freezer. Only Neff offers theSlideAway butter compartment which features a door that can be opened with one hand to slideinto the area below for unobstructed access - just like Neff's SlideAway oven door. Anotherhighlight is the modern multi tray bottle rack that allows bottles or eggs to be stored in the interiorof the fridge rather than in the door. Just turn to the side needed - simple!
Above: The glass shelves and flexible door racks are fully adjustable with just one hand. Lighting isfully integrated into the side walls so long lasting, ultra bright LED's bathe the interior - includingthe bottom shelves and the VitaFresh zone - in a uniform, glare free light that is gentle on the eyesas well as providing a clear view of what is in the refrigerator.
COOLDELUXE KEY FEATURES● More capacity. Changes to fundamental design such
as moving the condenser to the base of the unit have
freed up valuable space for more interior storage in the
CoolDeluxe range. As a result the K8315 fridge has a
massive 306 litre capacity while the co-ordinating G8320
freezer holds 213 litres - 25 percent more freezing
capacity than current built in models.
● Energy saving. All five models in the CoolDeluxe
range boast top A ++ energy ratings which means that
these appliances consume an amazing 45 percent less
energy than those in energy class A.
● Intelligent cooling system. Sensors on CoolDeluxe
fridges and freezers sense when food is being loaded and
adjust cooling power according to the amount of food
inside and the temperature outside. This system is around
30 percent faster than on other models - ideal for storing
or freezing down large amounts and saves energy.
● Dynamic cooling. This system provides an even
temperature throughout the fridge - even when the door
has been opened.
● Electronic touch control. All models provide precise
temperature control.
● VitaFresh with humidity control. All the fridges
include special VitaFresh compartments that work
independently from the rest of the appliance. Set at 0oC,
the compartment is made up of two zones - one at 50
percent humidity for meat and fish and one at 90 percent
humidity to extend the life of salads, vegetables and fruit.
Both zones are designed to preserve the nutrients and
vitamins in stored food for up to three times longer.
● AirFresh Filter. The AirFresh filter in the VitaFresh
compartment prevents smells from migrating into the rest
of the fridge.
● LED interior lighting. LED lighting positioned at
both sides and the front of the fridges keeps energy usage
low while illuminating the whole interior in an even glow.
Shelves are evenly lit so the user can see right to the back
of the fridge even when it is fully stocked. LED lighting
lasts for the lifetime of the appliance.
● Telescopic shelving. All the drawers in the fridges are
on a telescopic FlexiRail shelving system - like the one
used in top of the range Neff ovens. Drawers glide in and
out easily, allowing easy access to food stored at the back
- reducing wastage because items won't be forgotten.
● EasyLift shelves and SoftClose doors. The dual
built in benefits of EasyLift shelves and SoftClose doors
means that all appliances in the CoolDeluxe range have a
streamlined appearance and excellent accessibility.
● Two year free warranty. Like all Neff appliances, all
five models in the CoolDeluxe range have a two year
parts and labour warranty.

All new English Revival unitsfeature oak veneer dovetail
drawer boxes as standardwith new Grass drawer
runners which allowcomplete alignment
without the need for specialtools.
A return to more traditional kitchen designs is marked by the
introduction of a new Revival Shaker door for Mereway's English
Revival range. Originally launched 12 years ago, the English Revival
brand has remained popular and with traditional hand crafted
designs enjoying a renaissance, Mereway Kitchens believes that the
timing of this new range is perfect for the current market.
Based on a brand new unit matrix which is similar to Mereway's
main collection, the new range is stylish, easy to plan and includes a
very good selection of unit sizes and types. It is available in Natural
Oak and the same five popular painted colours as the Lincoln
Collection. A Ready to Paint option is also offered for customers who
want to use their own colours.
Featuring delicate 78mm stiles and a beaded profile on all frames,
the new Shaker design combines quality with elegance. Solid 19mm
glued and dowelled cabinets and the addition of solid timber dovetail
drawer boxes all go into presenting an exceptional product range
that is built to last.
Timber drawers are often seen as the signature of a quality in-
frame kitchen and are used on the new Shaker design. "This will be
the first in our English revival range to feature solid timber dovetail
drawers as standard as well as the latest fully adjustable soft close
runners," comments Ginette Crowther, Marketing Manager for
Mereway Kitchens. "Featuring almost as many unit options as our
main collection we believe that our new Shaker range provides a far
greater selection of cabinet choices than many other in-frame
suppliers. This allows designers to create a truly bespoke looking
kitchen with freestanding pieces - or they can opt for a more
contemporary fitted design." The new Shaker is just the first in a
broader collection of in-frame products that Mereway Kitchens will be
adding to the English Revival range in the next 12 months.
The new Shaker door is in natural oakand features a solid wood frame andveneered centre panel. This in-framestyle design is an excellent choice forthe semi-bespoke end of the market.
Integrated doors allow the useof full width storagemechanisms for concealedwaste bins, wine racks, wireshelving and many otherstorage solutions.
Even the larger pan pulloutdrawers are created fromsolid timber and can befitted with an oak plateinsert with timber dowelsfor effective crockerystorage.
Capacious and eminentlypractical, the 1000mm
larder unit can be tailoredto complement a classic or
contemporary kitchen byselecting glass or solid
timber doors at the top anda wine rack, stainless steel
baskets or wicker baskets inthe base. Trim with full
height Shaker style woodenpilasters in a Natural Oak or
painted finish.

Mark David is a family run company that has
been working in partnership with Nolte for
30 years. Nolte was founded more than 50
years ago and is the second largest German
manufacturer of kitchens with exports to over
40 countries worldwide. Famous for
innovation, the company offers the very best

One of the biggest hurdles in our industry is to overcome public perception that kitchen
specialists charge high prices and is the same as Nolte because it looks similar. Mark David's
mission is to assist dealers in changing these perceptions; to discover ways to engage with the
public and to prove that both the kitchen specialist and the manufacturer have their best
interests at heart!
A fitted Nolte kitchen retails from around £15,000 but the furniture alone using Simply Mark
David could be as low as £3,000. Nolte caters for just about every budget - and is still the only
top quality German brand that offers perfectly colour co-ordinated carcasses.
A number one best seller from launch,Manhattan includes a matt door in all
Nolte's wood finishes and can be mixedand matched with gloss. The centralunit shows Nolte's impressive flair for
clever storage and organisation.
Colour Line has a matt finish in four colours andis available at fantastically low Group 1 prices.
Nolte's signature look for 2010 featuresappliances held in a floating housing - as shown
here in Matrix Line in Soft Lack. Matrix Line isthe new handleless look from Nolte and is
available in 65 finishes.
Nolte's 16mm worktops are an unusual designoption that appear weightless and delicate but arestable and hard wearing.

CaesarStone is an engineered quartz-based surface with low

its good looks for many years to come. CaesarStone is chip, crack,

Trend surfaces by Granite Transformations
are premium worktop materials that offer
outstanding performance and a top quality
finish. Originally marketed to the kitchen
makeover sector through the company’s
own showrooms as the top that fits on top,

Italian granite, quartz or tempered glass
mixed with a specially formulated polymer
resin to create a tough, rigid, non-porous
agglomerate that is much stronger than

cutting edges, fading and heat. Its light
weight and controlled flexibility make
Trend ideal for features such as cantilevered
units, vertical cladding and curved or
contoured surfaces.
The material is produced in slabs
measuring 3m by 1.25m so most kitchen
tops can be fabricated without joins. The
finishing touch is added with a choice of
edge profiles from deep square to
chamfered. Trend is internationally tested
and certificated for technical performance.
It is also Greenguard approved for low VOC
emissions. The material is available in a

of 675mm. It can be run as a single column
or as a multiple system parallel drive. The
lifting capacity is 700N per column. The
system can be configured to set heights.
Also available are memory functions and RF
remote control.

THE SCIENCE OF MOVEMENT
Raise parts of an island to let it reveal new functions -perhaps to provide easy access to tableware or to allow a tv
set or computer monitor to slide away when not needed.Use two lifting columns and see how the block rises
elegantly with minimal noise.
Take your kitchen to the next level. Only
imagination sets limits to how electric movement
can improve tomorrow's kitchen. The philosophy of
tomorrow's kitchen is about making it fit the users
needs for functionality and movement. While high
end kitchens of today are already multifunctional
and designed in a pure and minimalist style, LINAK is ready to take your kitchen to the next
level. LINAK offers well proved products for kitchen environments that enable designers to
invent yet unforseen functionalities. The perfection in motion solutions from LINAK have the
ability to improve people's lives.
Tables and islands in the kitchen suit many different purposes when the height is adjustable. Raise the table to acomfortable level when preparing a meal. When the meal has been served, lower the table to its preferred position. Theactivity table is also ideal for family participation. Tall, small or medium sized? People need different working heights - andbeing able to raise or lower a surface means you will always be working in the best position. LINAK can also help whenhands free opening or lowering of cupboards is needed. As cupboard doors are getting larger and heavier, an actuatorsolution provides easy access.
Why destroy the view when the extractor can behidden? Storing the extractor away when not in usegives a clear view of the kitchen.

The pride and joy of owning a new kitchen can
quickly fade when the consumer realises that it
doesn’t really work in the way they hoped it
would because the needs of day to day usage
were not considered at the planning stage.
Apart from the essential fundamentals such
as proper storage and access, the next most
important feature of any modern kitchen is how
it moves. The majority of leading international
kitchen manufacturers specify Blum fittings and
systems and with this comes the pleasure that
the end user will discover through Blum's
development of Perfecting Motion.
Soft close on drawers has almost become
an industry standard, Blum's BLUMOTION
system takes this to another level with
integrated and advanced soft close
incorporated into the drawerbox and runner
systems which operate effortlessly even under
loads as high as 65kg. Blum has now extended
Perfecting Motion and BLUMOTION into soft
close cabinet doors - both vertically and
horizontally hung - with the groundbreaking
new CLIPtop BLUMOTION fully integrated
hinges with intelligent activating technology.
