Expertise

LWK Kitchens fully understand the technical specifications of all the kitchen appliances in our range, and can advise on electrical, gas, ducting and plumbing requirements, to guarantee compatibility with your new kitchen. Our technical knowledge, experience and skill ensure that your chosen appliances will fit seamlessly into your home. The kitchen unit manufacturer who we supply from, Hacker Kitchens in Germany, utilise a database of appliance dimensions to ensure that the kitchen units suit the appliances precisely, meaning that the need for fillers or the adaptation of a kitchen unit on site by a fitter to suit an appliance is dramatically reduced.

Aesthetics

Long gone are the days when kitchen appliances could be described as being "white goods". (One look at an Elica design cooker hood should make that point clearly) The appliance manufacturers go to great lengths to ensure that some of their designs are the height of modernity, and importantly co-ordinate across the range, so your oven, hob extractor and microwave all coordinate in look, colour and control systems etc. Our modern kitchen collections are designed to complement the latest appliances, the stainless steel channel handles on our handle-less kitchen range selected to match the darker steel shades now preferred by the tope appliance brands.

Kitchen Appliance Pricing

Think the internet is the cheapest place to buy kitchen appliances? Think again...

Many of the leading brands of appliance manufacturers recognise that the combination of advice, expertise, installation know-how and the ability to show clients a physical product that they can touch and feel is of paramount importance to the long term success of that brand. They recognise that the service of a Specialist kitchen dealer can never be matched by an internet seller, and they reward the Specialist kitchen dealer displaying their product with better buying prices than they offer their internet only distributors in recognition of this. As a result of this, we are often able to match or even beat the prices you can find on the internet, all whilst giving a far higher level of service, and the facility to 'touch and feel' the appliances rather than just look at a photo. If you want a price for a particular Neff, Siemens, De Dietrich, Miele or CDA appliance please give us a call on 0203 174 04 32.

Just because most internet appliance suppliers cannot compete with us on service, does not mean we can't, and won't, compete with them on price.

Full after-sales service

Should you experience any difficulty with any of your appliances, LWK Kitchens will work with the manufacturer to resolve the problem promptly and to your complete satisfaction. We are often able to use our existing contacts within each manufacturer to obtain a faster service than may otherwise be possible.

Kitchen Appliances: Ovens

An oven forms the heart of any kitchen, and our range extends from the basic to the forefront in cutting edge technology, whilst all exuding style and quality. At LWK Kitchens, we can talk you through the different types of ovens available, from conventional fan cooking and microwaves, to combination and steam ovens; perhaps energy efficiency is your top priority? Or you're not sure whether a pyrolitic or catalytic oven would be best for you? Better still why not come and visit us at one of our London Kitchen Showrooms and we can lay on a steam cooking demonstration for you? Whatever your circumstances might be, our specialist knowledge means we can cut through the maze of modern technology to support you in making an informed and suitable decision.

Miele launched in 2010 their new Brilliant White Plus and ICE colour ranges for ovens, microwaves and steam ovens. The brilliant white plus and ICE finishes match superbly with our high gloss kitchen ranges.

Basic and Advanced Features

For some of our clients, simplicity is key, whilst others may be looking for an oven that includes the latest technologies, bringing a wealth of new possibilities to the way that they cook. We have ovens of varying capacities in a multitude of dimensions, offering you the flexibility you require. Our carefully selected range includes conventional fan, double, multi-functional cooking, and steam ovens, all of which provide essential functionality. But if you're looking for added extras, we have options such as Catalytic and Pyrolytic/self cleaning ovens, or contemporary features such as recipe functions. At LWK kitchens, we make recommendations which combine both innovation and practicality.

Kitchen Appliances: Hobs

LWK Kitchens can offer specialist advice on all of the different types of hobs and heat sources that are available. We can ensure compatibility with your other appliances, your current fuel source and your cookware. We display a wide range of hobs at our London Kitchen Showrooms.

Hobs are available in a range of sizes and styles with varying functionality. If you are looking for a gas hob we can talk you though important considerations such as the size or number of burners, ease of cleaning and also safety features such as flame failure shut-off. For those with an electric fuel supply, we will discuss functions such as halogen zones which heat up and cool down quicker than standard methods. We can also explain the safety, energy saving and increased speed benefits offered by an induction hob. For greater flexibility, the domino hob allows you to tailor your cooking area to combine anything from a wok burner to a barbeque grill function - offering a truly bespoke solution.

Types of hob and hob Jargon

Gas hob, gas is the fuel source and must be directly supplied to the appliance. The installation requires certification provided by a Gas Safe competent installer. (successor to the CORGI register)

Halogen hob, Halogen hobs utilise a red halogen lamp that operates at very high temperature to heat a glass ceramic plate. The cooking surface, (the glass ceramic plate) heats far faster than a conventional electric hob.

Induction Hob, The main difference between an induction hob and other types of hob is that the heat is produced from within the cooking pot or pan, not transmitted to the pot or pan through the cooking surface. This is achieved using a magnetic field, and as such only works with ferrous pots and pans- not aluminium ones. Induction hobs are more energy efficient, heat faster, allow direct heat control and have the added benefit of much cooler cooking surface once the pot has been removed, a great safety feature.

Domino hobs, Domino hobs are typically slimmer appliances that do one specific task, that when joined in series allow a more flexible cooking solution. For example 1 x 300 mm tepenyaki plate, 1 x 300 mm induction hob, 1 x 300 mm bbq grill, when combined to make a 900mm hob make a very versatile hob surface solution.

Kitchen Appliances: Cooling

Refrigerators and freezers play an important role in ensuring optimum food hygiene. But at LWK Kitchens London, our cooling appliances offer more than simple chilling/freezing capability.

Clients can choose from a selection of integrated appliances which will blend in beautifully with the kitchen design whilst offering desirable functions such as ice making, chilled water, and frost free cooling. Why not come and see these appliances in action at one our London Kitchen Showrooms.

Our freestanding appliances also offer such sought-after design features. From large capacity American style fridge/freezers to temperature and humidity controlled wine cabinets, LWK kitchens supply an appealing collection of stylish cooling appliances that reflect the latest kitchen trends and technological developments. All of our kitchen units are manufactured by the German kitchen manufacturer Hacker Kitchens. Working with Hacker gives us the flexibility to design kitchen furniture solutions to house free-standing fridge freezers. Many suppliers of handle-less kitchen furniture cannot design solutions that incorporate a fridge freezer as the handle-less channel is fitted horizontally (which is incompatible with fridge freezers) LWK Kitchens handleless kitchen design features both vertical and horizontal handle channels enabling the handleless kitchen designs to work with all fridge and freezers.

LWK Kitchens London can also advise on the practical elements of cooling appliances, such as size and capacity, energy efficiency, as well as the frost-free features of our fridges, freezers and combined cooling appliances. Perhaps you need optimum storage capability for the fresh food in your fridge? Or maybe you're tired of defrosting your existing freezer and are looking for a lower maintenance option? Our consultation process ensures we take all considerations into account when matching appliance products to your individual needs.

Kitchen Appliances: Dishwashers

kitchen Appliances: Extractors

A machine just to extract cooking odours? Or a chance to make a bold design statement?

At LWK Kitchens London, we have chosen a selection of slim line, integrated, telescopic, chimney hood and down draft extractor models that are both highly functional, yet very sleek. To see these different types of extractor why not visit one of our London Kitchen Showrooms and judge firsthand the extraction power, style and quality of the different brands and methods of extraction available to you.

Externally vented or Recirculation?

Through the course of your design consultation, we will determine which type of extractor is right for your home, based on where it will be situated. Extraction systems remove moisture and odours via ducting to an outside wall, whereas re-circulation systems can be fitted anywhere. Our technical expertise means we can talk you through the pros and cons of the different systems as well as the design choices available for each.

For an extraction system, we can offer advice on ducting kits and extraction rates. If you opt for a re-circulation system we can talk through the filtration options and maintenance of your cooker hood. We also recognise that noise can be a nuisance so we have selected a choice of models which are as quiet as possible, even when operating on high extraction rates.

Kitchen Appliances: Sinks and taps

At LWK Kitchens, we have selected a range of sinks and taps which work in harmony with each other. Perhaps you are looking for a rinse spray tap? Or maybe you would like freshly-filtered or instant hot water? When you visit one of London Kitchen Showrooms you can see a choice of taps ranging from the practical to the innovative, as well as a selection of sinks which will work to complete the perfect partnership.

When advising on the right sink for you, our technical experts will also take into consideration your work surface material, kitchen layout and design, and style preferences. Our range includes both under and over-mounted units, stainless steel or ceramic, and space saving solutions such as corner and inset sinks. We pride ourselves on working with clients to find the perfect product combination and package. We can even supply flush mounted sinks in to laminate worktops, a very stylish and yet cost effective design solution, with the machining of the work surface carried out by Hacker Kitchens, our German kitchen manufacturer, to ensure the best possible water proof seal between the sink and the laminate.
