Spotlight on White

White has always been a best seller for us within the Dupont Corian range but we've seen a rise in the popularity of Venaro White of late. This, like Lyskam Grey in a previous post has a vein through it, giving it a marble effect. You still get the benefit of bright, fresh, white worktops but with more personality.

Venaro White 

This week we were delighted to receive the photo below from a customer in London who was equally (if not more so) delighted with their new Dupont Corian Venaro White worktops, fitted that day by the DWS team. I'm sure you'll agree it is an envy inducing kitchen which looks stunning with the addition of the super stylish Corian.

Christmas Deadlines

For all customers wishing to have Quartz worktops fitted before the Christmas break, please place your order by noon tomorrow, 13th November.  Any order placed after tomorrow will be installed in the new year.

Solid Surface orders to be installed before Christmas will continue to be taken until further notice. 

Dupont Corian Seagrass

This month's featured worktop is Dupont Corian's "Seagrass". Seagrass has always been a popular choice for bathrooms with it's soft, watery quality but we've recently seen an explosion in Seagrass sales for kitchens. We can only assume that this colour has been featured in local press, home magazines or on home shows lately. We do love it when that happens as it certainly shakes thing up a little bit for us here, we get so used to selling the same colours in the same applications.

We do know that the colour was used in the The Gavin Jones “Garden of Corian®” at the Chelsea Flower Show 2008 installation. You can read about this exciting project at the following link http://www.dupont.co.uk/products-and-services/construction-materials/surface-design-materials/brands/corian-solid-surfaces/case-studies/chelsea-flower-show.html

This doesn't explain the sudden popularity in kitchens but does go to show the versatility and natural beauty of this colour, for those looking for an interior inspired by nature.

I've always thought Seagrass suited a bathroom environment perfectly so it took a bit of getting used to, seeing it in the kitchen. However I love it and think it makes for a truly contemporary and original look. You could be assured that your kitchen would be different to any your friends and family have seen before! It's a light, neutral colour but adds more interest than whites.

Featured Worktops- Lyskam Quartz

Every now and again I will be featuring a particular worktop we sell, pictured in a customer's kitchen. This month we had the pleasure of fitting a gorgeous grey Quartz worktop onto very fashionable grey cabinets. Grey is still a very popular choice for interiors and I have to say I hope it continues as I love it. The quartz featured is called Lysksam and is made to look more akin to marble, with veining through it. The finish, with the grey cabinets is contemporary yet classical, a design that will stand the test of time.  The photos below were kindly sent in by our customer and we were delighted to see the end results.

Lyskam Quartz

Lyskam Quartz is part of our very popular Apollo Quartz range, with Lyskam, Lyskam Beige & Lyskam Grey only recently being added. If you are interested in getting a quote or a sample of Lyskam Quartz, visit our website http://www.kitchen-worktops-store.co.uk/shop/apollo-quartz-worktops/apollo-quartz-kitchen-worktops-colour-bands/ for excellent discounts. But hurry because the Christmas rush has already started! 

Scottish Home Show 2015

We don't have the pleasure of taking part in this year's Scottish Home Show, for the happy reason that we are just too busy selling worktops online! However the annual show takes place this weekend (25th-27th September inc) at the AECC in Aberdeen and is definitely worth a look if you are in the area and planning your dream home or planning renovations in your existing home. 

The link below gives all the details of the show and there's a great video https://vimeo.com/115958422 of last year's show to give you a flavour of what you can expect. Sadly DWS wasn't featured in the video :( As well as show details there's general advice on home improvements, building and renovations.

#GrowingUpScottish

Very funny repost of article by Indigo Social Media. I think we can all relate to this if we grew up North of the Border!

Hashtag Highlights – #GrowingUpScottish

Cut on your knee? Doc leaf. Over 10 degrees outside? Troon beach. On holiday and they don’t sell Irn Bru? Flight home.

At Indigo we are proud of our diverse team from all over the world, but a day doesn’t go by in the office without some confusion over our different cultures. It is because of this that we were happy to see #GrowingUpScottish trending on Twitter today.

Through a feed of tweets, our international colleagues were educated about what it was to be born and raised in Scotland. They now know of the situations that made the Scots the people they are – for better or worse…

Here are some of the hashtags highlights:

Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day

Don't forget that Father's Day is coming up this month for the opportunity to spoil all the dads and granddads for the day. This year it falls on Sunday 21st June and I've put together a Pinterest board with some nice ideas for gifts. There are plenty that kids can make themselves for a personal touch.
