Wellbeing has never ranked so highly with consumers and homes have a key role to play in how they contribute to physical and emotional wellbeing. Home is our haven, the place where we connect, work, live and recharge and a great sense of wellbeing can be delivered from thoughtful design.

In the kitchen space, this means all the elements being designed to work in dialogue with one another, from the materials, texture and colours that ground us, to products with the technology and functionality that elevate everyday comfort and take the strain for us.

As a kitchen systems provider, our focus for product development is on providing a full range of products that can be easily selected to work in design harmony with one another, together with the assurance of exceptional functionality and long-lasting performance.

There are many easy ways the right products and design choices can help enhance everyday living by being simple to use and including technology that does the thinking for us. And in doing so removing the stress of the day to day. Think touch-free taps and anti-microbial surfaces for added hygiene, filter taps for fresh tasting drinking water, quiet cooker hoods for stress-free cooking and improved air quality, hobs and hoods that talk to each other and adjust the extraction automatically.

 The Mythos Air Hub Vertical cooker hood purifies the air removing up to 99.99% of bacteria and viruses.

Consumer research indicates that the quality of air and water directly affects a household’s health and are top ranking considerations in kitchen design.

Air quality can obviously be improved by keeping windows open and regularly vacuuming, especially in households with pets. Our Air Hub cooker hood range goes beyond standard extraction by including air purification that will remove allergens, bacteria and odours for a healthier environment.

There’s also growing awareness of the mental health benefits of a calmer, quieter domestic space, especially with hybrid working more prevalent now. Excessive background noise is linked with higher stress levels, reduced concentration, and even disrupted sleep. Extractor hoods with low noise emissions are key for the kitchen space. We offer many models with our exclusive Sound Pro Blower technology which improves sound quality by cutting the high frequencies and providing an overall more pleasant sound and more peaceful cooking experience.

Franke Maris 4-in-1 includes the premium Pro M filter that removes bacteria, viruses, chemicals and microplastics, while preserving healthy minerals.

While tap water is safe to drink, it’s treated with chemicals such as chlorine and can also include limescale. Kitchen filter taps and multifunctional taps with advanced filtration systems provide fresh tasting, purified water on demand removing harmful contaminants while retaining all the beneficial minerals for overall wellness. They also discourage the consumption of single-use plastic bottled water – a big environmental plus and a personal feel-good factor.

We offer a range of taps that will deliver premium filtered water including the dedicated Vital Filter tap with its ergonomic flexible spray hose; the Maris 4-in-1 instant boiling water which includes filtration and the multi-functional Mythos Water Hub 6-in-1 that offers the ultimate water experience of standard hot and cold, and four filtered options of ambient cold, chilled cold, carbonated and instant boiling water. All Water Hub taps are also now available in our signature metallic finishes of Gold, Copper and Anthracite.
