WORK SURFACES & SPLASHBACKS
Bushboard on upcoming surface trends T
his time last year, when asked about trends in the kitchen worktop
market we would have been discussing timeless and luxurious marbles and new thinner profiles. While these topics are still relevant to our industry today, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic there has been a significant shift in kitchen worktop trends for home renovations and self-build projects and the focus now is not exclusive to beautiful aesthetics. Unsurprisingly, products that prioritise hygiene
Comment by Nick Jones Sales Leader, Wilsonart
in the home are more sought-after than ever and more and more kitchen surface brands are now incorporating hygiene-focussed technologies into worktops to provide a safer kitchen landscape with which to cook, eat, work and entertain from. There are now work surface options that can destroy 99.9% of bacteria in just 24 hours by using a high-pressure laminate that features resins incorporated into the material during the production process. Using resins that are free from
nano particles gives the surface a lifetime of antibacterial protection and there is absolutely no danger to humans or the environment. We predict that there will be a strong growth towards surfaces that combine these practical benefits with the aesthetic trends that people want to see in their homes, which now include open plan family living, minimalism and nature-inspired textures. Unlike many trends, we are of the opinion that
the hygiene trend will have a long-term effect on the interiors industry, especially so in the kitchen which is arguably the most frequented area of the home and therefore incorporating hygiene into this space is crucial to avoid the spread of harmful germs and bacteria. It is a trend that is set to play a key role in defining the way new homes are designed going forward and brands that use innovative and forward-thinking technologies to meet this demand will no doubt continue to soar in popularity, eventually becoming a staple of the modern build.
Bushboard launch new Alloy splashback collection B
ushboard is bringing dream kitchen designs to life in Spring 2021 with the
launch of its Alloy splashbacks range; twelve beautifully patterned aluminium splashbacks designed to fill the entire wall behind the hob without compromising safety.
Alloy splashbacks are both 100% fire safe and
waterproof, making them a safe and long-lasting surface solution for wall space both behind the hob and the sink. Available in simple sizing templates for all kitchen specifications, Alloy splashbacks eliminate the need for an expensive glass hob cover, or stainless steel hob panels that
interrupt the overall aesthetic of the kitchen design. In a UK first, Alloy splashbacks are designed to
fill the entire space between the worktop and extractor hood, offering complete design freedom all around the kitchen. The twelve versatile styles are inspired by
traditional tile designs, geometric patterns and natural materials and have been carefully developed to complement the most popular and desirable kitchen trends. Alloy splashbacks are quick and simple to cut to size if needed, whilst also being easy to fit, clean and maintain. Additionally, they can be affixed directly to the
wall with Complete adhesive, eliminating the need for an expensive installation kit. An innovative trim system to complete the look is also available to purchase separately. The Alloy range is available through
Bushboard from Spring 2021. A preview of the range can be seen at
