Discover Easy-to-Assemble Kitchen Sinks – Solutions for Small Spaces

Small cooking spaces come with a number of challenges. Where can you place the stove, fridge, sink, drying platform and shelves? Fortunately, we offer a range of solutions that include affordable, yet stylish and easy-to-assemble kitchen sinks. Take a look at our sink solutions here.

 

Melanin and stainless-steel units

Melanin provides for a modern and hygienic work environment. Our melanin units are white, making it possible to match the units with just about any kitchen interior. The most basic types include the rust-resistant stainless-steel bowl with two stylish corner taps, a waste, plug, and trap. The sink is built into a two-door cupboard that features two shelves, with the top section being adjustable.

The stainless-steel basic unit comes with a slide door cupboard, the single bowl stainless steel top and two pillar cock taps, in addition to the waste, trap and plug. It is the perfect solution for a small kitchen where even opening a door can make it difficult to walk around the cupboard.

 

Double bowl easy-to-assemble kitchen sinks

If you have more space and want the luxury of a double bowl to wash and rinse or use one bowl for dishwashing and the other for rinsing vegetables, you’ll appreciate the double bowl solutions. The most basic types come with melanin cupboards, stainless steel tops, waste, trap and plugs, in addition to the two bowls with the single swivel gooseneck tap design. The tap makes it easy to fit in large items as you can move the head out of the way. It is a superb space-saving solution. The 1500 mm melanin units come with a three-door cupboard with a drawer design.

 

Combination kitchen solutions

Want a unit that fits a stove, fridge, cupboards, and sinks? Then you’ll appreciate our range of easy-to-assemble sinks that include combinations such as:

• Stove, sink and fridge – mini or maxi units
• Stove, bowl, microwave and fridge
• Gas hob and bowl
• Stove and bowl

We also offer a range of storage units to complement the easy-to-assemble kitchen sinks. All our products are priced with affordability in mind without compromising on quality.

4 Essential Sinks Supplier Tips on Designs for Small Kitchens

Walking, working and breathing space is the most valuable element in designs for small kitchens. If you’re cooking space is limited while you still have to fit in more sinks, cupboards, or fridges, then the ordinary layout tips don’t work. First take a look here at the available products from a top kitchen sinks supplier to get an idea of which products are well-suited for tiny spaces.

 

Below are four supplier must-follow tips to help you make the best use of the products available:

• Start with the floorplan
• Make a checklist of the essential elements
• Go with one of the proven designs for small kitchens
• Use vertical space to your advantage

 

1. Start with the floorplan

Measure the available space. For this part, you’ll need a measuring tape. Either draw out the floor dimensions by hand or use software for the purpose. Decide what you’ll take out, what will be replaced and what will remain in the same place. Now update the plan with how you want the kitchen to look at the end of the day. If the space is exceptionally small, you won’t have all that much to work worth. In this case, consider one of the all-in-one sinks available from the supplier. View this example of a mini sink, fridge, stove and cupboard unit.

 

2. Make a checklist of the essential elements

Certain furnishings are a must to complete the kitchen. These include:

• • Cooking appliance – stove, microwave, oven, or a combination.
  • Fridge – you can still go without a large freezer, but a fridge with a small freezer compartment is essential.
  • Sink – dishes don’t wash themselves, and you’ll need a basin in which to perform the task.
  • Storage facility – you’ll need at least one cupboard.
  • Workspace – if you don’t have all that much space, you can opt for a maxi unit that includes a drainage board to double as a workspace.

3. Go with one of the proven kitchen designs for small kitchens

Don’t reinvent the wheel unless you don’t mind spending an awful lot of money. Interior designers have over the years developed a range of layouts and designs that work well for smaller spaces. Here’s what you can do with the most common types:

Linear – as the name suggests, the design fits everything you need in a single line. This is the perfect layout choice for a very small kitchen or one where the space is also a walk-through to another room. Have a look at this combination unit that includes an oven, stove top, fridge, sink and dry space for the linear setting.

Galley – with this layout, you have two opposite walls to work with, similar to that of a hallway. This makes it possible to have the sink or sinks, dry space, sink cupboard, fridge underneath, stove or microwave in one line with cupboards and workspace on the opposite wall. Here’s an example of a space-saving cupboard option for maximum storage space. If you buy from GEZA, as one of the trusted local kitchen sinks suppliers in Gauteng, you can purchase each unit separately, making it easier to maximise the space functionality of the galley layout.

L-shape – includes a long wall and short section. Use the long area to the maximum with one of the combination units while you use the short section for a cupboard with workspace on top.

U-shape – place the stove and sink combination on the longer wall section to create more workspace if you have an uneven U-shape space. If you have an even one, place the stove unit or the sink at the small wall section.

 

4. Use vertical space to your advantage

If you have a wall area where you can fit towel dry racks, do so. Use the wall for clips to hang pans and utensils. Purchase a space-saving cupboard that includes a workspace, cupboards beneath and shelving on top with an extra top cupboard, and a grocery double vertical cupboard.

Why We Sell Various Kitchen Units for Small Spaces

We’re different from other home fixture and furnishing suppliers. Instead of focussing on the higher end of the home product market aimed at expensive custom installations for larger homes, we sell various kitchen units for small spaces. If you’re in the market for affordable, yet high-quality sinks, basins, cupboards, showers and swimming pools, then you’re our client. Your needs for fitting maximum functionality in an apartment, self-catering chalet or your first home are our priority.

 

Why do we sell various kitchen units for small spaces?

As with any company driven to solve an important problem for their customers, our story started back in 1999. Expensive, low quality and equally unattractive products available for the low-cost house market at the time, made it impossible for people in low- and middle-income groups to afford functional, durable and aesthetically-pleasing products for their homes. This bothered us and we set out to level the playing field.

From that day onwards, our team has focussed on the delivery of innovative, space-saving and superior quality products at affordable prices. This has made it possible for us to develop and sell various swimming pool, bathroom and kitchen units for small spaces.

When you buy from us you benefit from affordability, quality and unique designs aimed to help you make the best use of available space. Although our initial market aim was to fill the gap in affordable quality products, our commitment to innovation, durable material usage and quality workmanship helped us to make our brand stand out in the South African market.

Today, thousands of homeowners, property developers, discerning lodge owners and student apartment builders can attest to the quality of our products. Being a discerning buyer doesn’t mean you have to pay more for your products. When you buy from us, you get both quality and affordability.

 

We know how to work with small spaces

You don’t always have enough space for a large island, fridges, several counters, a stove, double-bowl sink and cupboards. This is where our approach comes in. We offer units to fit every space. An example of this is the GEZA Gas Hob & Sink Maxi Unit. The elegant white melamine finish makes it possible to fit this unit in just about any elegant small kitchen. It comes with a 1500 x 600 mm Formica top completed with a drop-in stainless single sink and drain board. The unit also includes a drop-in two-plate gas hob, and a two-door melamine cupboard, featuring two shelves.

The unit comes with a goose-neck swivel mixer spout, which is attached at the bowl top. With this, you don’t need two tap spouts and can move the spout out of the way for larger items. It also comes with a neat melamine cupboard, offering you a fixed bottom shelf and the flexibility of a second adjustable shelf. As with our other sink units, the combination includes wastes, plugs and traps. It includes drawers for cutlery and comes with three hinged doors. Have a look at this double bowl unit here.

 

Single steel bowl unit

If you don’t have space, but need a wash-up area, shop for one of our small steel units. It comes with two pillar cock taps and a single stainless-steel bowl and draining board.

Our twin units come complete with cupboards installed, and we have two size options available.

 

GEZA Double Bowl Sink Units with Cupboards 1200 mm

Measuring at 1,2 m in length by 0,6 m in width, our smaller stainless steel two-bowl unit is well-suited for any apartment, house or townhouse kitchen that needs a bit more than the average single basin. It’s 0,93 m in height and has a triple door melamine cupboard, as well as one drawer. This lovely unit offers ample storage space, with adjustable shelving in the middle, as well as permanent shelves at the bottom.

For the utmost flexibility in washing, this unit has a swivel mixer, making it quick and simple to move between basins. It also features a draining area on the right side of the sink where you can easily stack clean crockery and cutlery.

 

GEZA Double Bowl Sink Units with Cupboards 1500 mm

For a more lavish option, we offer the bigger twin unit with cupboards measuring 1,5 m by 0,5 m at a height of 0,85 m. This exquisite piece comes with a slightly larger storage area, still with three doors and a drawer.

If you desperately need a larger draining board for dirty plates after a night with the family, then this one is for you. The 1500 mm (1,5 m) unit boasts an incredible drainage space on the left, which is ideal for sizeable kitchens. The bottom shelving is again stationary and the middle moveable. It comes with a goose-neck spout for easy switching from one bowl to the other. Therefore, both options are equally user-friendly and will make superb additions to your home.

 

Final Thoughts

Every household can do with a sizeable basin to minimise the effort of washing duties. It’ll be a lot less tedious of a task when it’s your night to be the washer when you can clean and rinse at the same time. Plus, there’s also the benefit of having extra packing space underneath a superior sink.

If you plan to up-scale your washroom, want to refurbish your entire kitchen, or just replace a broken unit, send us a message and get started. Everyone deserves one of our double bowl sink units with cupboards in their home.

Why Choose Modular Kitchen Units for Small Spaces?

Modular kitchen units for small spaces have become more than a passing trend. As the housing density increases, people require space-saving means to fit maximum functionality into smaller spaces. Just looking at the average house size of affordable subsidised dwellings and one has to wonder how it is possible to fit any bathroom or kitchen cabinets. This is where the modular design concept comes in.

 

What is a modular kitchen?

Modular refers to the fact that something can be added or taken away as opposed to something that is bought a complete unit without the option of down or up-scaling.

Let’s have a look at the top reasons to choose modular kitchen units for small spaces.

 

Versatile for the modern home

The modern lifestyle is all about versatility. Sustainable décor trends dictate the ability to change a set-up as needed without having to rebuild, break-down or start from scratch. The modular concept is thus in line with sustainable building and décor trends.

When it comes to a versatile solution, you will want a set-up that can be changed to fit your layout requirements. You may want to increase cupboard space later on and will then want the option to buy a suitable unit without having the expenses of carpenters who have to redesign the space to fit in the necessary cupboard and work areas.

With our modular kitchen units for small spaces, you don’t have to immediately buy an entire set of cupboards. You can start small and add on as your budget allows. With our standardised materials and designs, adding onto a unit is easy and cost-effective. Versatile also refers to layout options. This is what makes the modular concept so great. You can decide where to put a cupboard unit or whether you want a sink, stove and fridge set in one.

Perhaps you already have a fridge, but want a unit that includes a stovetop because of space limitations. And that is fine, because it is what modular design is about. You decide on the layout according to the available space and using the exact measurements we supply, you can easily determine which sets will fit best in your kitchen.

Versatile also refers to colour and design options. True modular products come in designs, colours and materials that can work together. Take for example, the options of melamine or metal. If your home is close to the sea, it makes more sense to choose melamine as the finishing material. If you prefer the durability of metal, then you can go with our metal finishes.

 

Easy to install – no need for expensive service providers

Perhaps the biggest cost factor when having to install a new kitchen is that of the carpenter, electrician and plumber. What if it is possible to buy kitchen units for small spaces that can be installed without having to make use of the services offered by electricians, plumbers and carpenters? Imagine the cost savings.

The good news is that it is possible, simply because our units come with all the bells and whistles needed for easy installation. You also get instructions.

Still need help? Make use of our professional and affordable installation expertise.

With easier installation comes the benefit of having a fully operational kitchen in no time. Want to upgrade the garden flat for guests during the holiday season? Don’t have enough time for comprehensive carpentry? Then you are in luck as we offer complete units such as the elegant stove, sink, fridge and microwave unit, which we refer to as a maxi unit. It includes every functionality required for a guest flat or bachelor unit.

The unit is available in modern white melamine and features a durable 1500 mm by 600 mm stainless-steel top. With the stainless-steel top, the risk of water, spill or even burn damage because of a hot pan is eliminated. Stainless steel doesn’t rust, making it well-suited for a holiday cottage at the sea.

It comes with a single end-bowl and a convenient draining board. The two-plate stove is the plug-in type. This means you don’t need to call in the services of an electrician for installation. The unit also features a powerful 23 litres Samsung 800-Watt solo microwave for easy defrosting and heating of ready-made meals.

Remember the versatile discussion?  Here’s another example of what we mean with modular also implying versatile. You can choose on which side the bowl must be fitted, helping you to install a kitchen that fits your layout requirements. The sink comes with a swivel mixer that has a gooseneck. This design enables easier filling of jugs or kettles as well.

The melamine cupboard is spacious and is located underneath the sink. It has fixed bottom shelving, which adds to its strength with the second shelf being adjustable to your height requirements. The unit also comes with a 120 litres bar fridge that features a freezer section for ice or produce that must be kept frozen. View pictures and specifications for this unit here.

 

Various layouts

With modular units you can install your dream kitchen to fit your layout needs. This means going with a straight L-shape, parallel, G-shaped, island or U-shaped layout is no problem. The straight layout is perfectly suited for a bachelor unit, student flat, guest apartment or granny flat where the bedroom, lounge and kitchen share one open space.

The L-shaped layout is the most common layout type for slightly larger spaces, enabling you to include cupboard units for more storage space. With these you can combine one of the maxi-units with one of our storage units. Add a double-door grocery cupboard and a two-door double shelf cupboard to the picture and you have a complete kitchen, suitable for a family. View an example here.

Perhaps you have a layout where you can use two wall areas opposite each other? Then consider the parallel layout that offers you the sink, stove and fridge unit together with a two-door cupboard and workspace on the one side and various cupboards on the other side.

The island layout gives additional workspace but is better suited for larger rooms. Unless you have enough space to allow for sufficient walk area, it is better not to clutter the area with too many features.

Whether you want a more complex G-shaped layout or a straight design, our modular units make it easy to create the perfect kitchen, even if you work on a tight budget.

 

Let’s consider the top benefits offered by modular kitchen units for small spaces:

• Best use of available space.
• More storage options to get rid of clutter.
• Every piece included has a function.
• Fast installation and thus time savings.
• Affordable solution for small and large projects.
• Layouts to fit your requirements.
• No need for expensive carpentry or electrical services.
• No need to change building plans.
• Can remove and take with you to another abode.
• Compact designs for smaller spaces.
• Spare parts and components available.
• Ready fitted with taps, waste and traps.
• Durable materials.
• Choose finishes from the available selection.

 

We provide stylish units that offer convenient workspaces. Constructing the kitchen is a quick and straightforward process. The appliances such as stoves, microwaves and fridges can simply be plugged in. You don’t need special electrical or gas certificates. Easy to clean and just as easy to maintain, these units are the perfect solutions for modern homes. With the cabinets pre-fabricated according to set height and width standards, you don’t have the risk of cupboards not fitting. If the measurements are correct, you have the assurance that our units will fit. Repairs and replacements are also hassle-free.

 

What about bathrooms?

Of course, the same convenience offered by modular units for kitchens is available for the bathroom. Choose from various units such as single basins, wall-mounted types, combination units of showers, toilets and basins, or go with the basin & cupboard combinations. Being able to buy both the kitchen and bathroom products from one supplier, you can save time and money when you remodel interior spaces or add the essential features to turn an empty room into a luxury guest apartment.

 

Why buy GEZA products?

Our firm has a track record of product and service excellence in Southern Africa, going back two decades. We focus on elegance, functionality, practicality and affordability. This gives our product range a wide appeal.

How You Can Get the Best Prices and Products from a Mini Kitchen Units Supplier

A small kitchen doesn’t have to be stacked to the roof. It can be neat, exceptionally functional, and visually attractive. The secret lies with the types of fittings you use, apart from choosing a layout that allows for space-saving. The first step towards creating a modern and aesthetically appealing cooking space is to find the best mini kitchen units’ supplier in South Africa.

 

How to Know Which Mini Kitchen Units Supplier to Choose

As with every supplier selection process, you need to consider factors ranging from pricing to styles, after-sales service, areas where their units are delivered, etc. Ask the following questions to determine if the mini kitchen units’ supplier is the right one:

• When did the company first start trading?
• Do they import or manufacture the products?
• Does the company offer product guarantees?
• Who uses their products?
• What is the range offered?
• Do they offer DIY kits?
• How difficult is it to assemble the kits?
• Are spares and maintenance parts available for the products?
• How competitive are the prices?
• Is after-sales service available?

 

You want a supplier that has been around at least a couple of years to avoid the fly-by-night traders, as product guarantees are important. Also, a history of supply shows that the company is more likely to be operational even after a severely slow economic period for the entire country.

Buying from a local supplier is definitely recommended. Not only does it mean you support the local economy and job market, but the company must meet specific industry standards to operate locally. The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) doesn’t do a lot for you if you buy imported products from cheap overseas suppliers. It does, however, protect you when you buy from local firms.

If the company manufactures some of its products and imports the others, it is fine because they must guarantee the quality of the products. If you import directly, and one of the items is not to your liking, you will end up having to get an import licence when they send a replacement, unless you are willing to wait a year. Rather than having to deal with custom and excise issues, the long waiting, and risks of sub-standard quality, buy from a local mini kitchen units’ supplier.

The range must be comprehensive enough to ensure you don’t end up with a single cabinet and no chance of filling the rest of the space with the same range. Just imagine how unsightly it would be to have one unit styled in a certain way and the rest of the kitchen in another non-compatible style.

 

Is DIY an Option?

DIY is big today and for good reason. With the DIY kits, you save money without having to compromise on quality. It puts you in control and once you are ready to perform the installation, you can go ahead to assemble the pieces. Here it is important to select a supplier that actually provides proper instructions and offers kits that are so easy to assemble that you can have the job finished in a day. Along with these, there is the nagging question of what if a part breaks or you need to perform maintenance on units a few years down the line? Will the company be able to help with parts?

Next up is the after-sales issue. Is there someone at the other end of the line to help you with the set up if you have a question or two? Or is it all your problem the moment the products are delivered to your doorstep?

The final issue is about pricing. Since you are looking for DIY kits, you don’t want to spend the price of an Italian custom-made lounge suite for a basin in the kitchen. Whether or not people want to admit it, pricing does matter. Competitively priced must mean affordable.

 

Where to Find Such a Supplier?

It may seem like a tall order, but fortunately, GEZA meets every requirement and more. The company first opened its doors for trading back in 1999. With two decades in the industry, GEZA has shown that it is here to stay, even during the difficult economic periods which South Africans had to endure.

The rising living costs in South Africa left many without the means to get quality kitchen fittings for small spaces. Suppliers focussed on the upper end of the income groups while the average man on the street had to settle for lower quality. GEZA recognised the need for more affordable yet quality mini kitchen units for granny flats, cottages, and apartments. Space-saving solutions were needed that would address the following:

• Functionality in small spaces
• Affordable pricing
• Superior quality
• Ease of installation
• Ease of maintenance

 

Why GEZA?

As a forward-thinking company, GEZA took hold of the opportunity to address the gap in the market and has ever since the introduction of the Easy Fit Bathroom at the beginning of 1999, introduced several products to meet the high demand for affordable, space-saving bathroom and kitchen furnishings. Since then, from lodges to guesthouses, schools, apartment developers, affordable housing designers, and holiday homeowners have opted for the high-quality but affordable mini bathroom and kitchen units from this leading local supplier.

Discerning property owners, student accommodation developers and well-known architects have taken note of the ease of installation, versatile character of the products, comprehensive range, and small footprint of the available products. Thousands of the units have been installed across homes, apartments, B&B establishments, and garden flats throughout South Africa.

A characteristic of the GEZA brand is the commitment to quality and affordability. South Africans have also come to appreciate the friendly after-sales service, enabling them to get help when needed as the skilled maintenance teams are just a phone call away, regardless of the date or time.

Knowing how important it is to have access to spare parts and components for the maintenance of property fittings, GEZA also provides a range of tools and parts for all the products. Apart from the fittings, customers can also purchase related general plumbing products.

Furthermore, customers have the peace of mind, knowing that the company has a physical address that can be visited. The well-stocked retail store is located in Johannesburg for in-store purchases as well. What sets GEZA at the lead of DIY mini kitchen and bathroom units supply is the innovative designs that challenge the conventional methods for kitchen and bathroom products manufacturing and installation.

 

Extensive Product Range to Meet the Function and Space Requirements of Customers

Kitchens are certainly not all designed the same. Space limitations must be considered, while the need for maximum functionality in the available space cannot be ignored. Here, too, customers can expect to find units that fit perfectly into small spaces. The range includes, but is not limited to:

• Melamine or steel sink
• Double bowl sink
• Stove, sink and fridge mini and maxi unit
• Stove, sink, fridge, and oven maxi unit
• Gas hob and sink maxi unit
• Stove and sink unit
• Kitchen storage unit

 

Let’s take a closer look at one of the combination mini sets, helping you to determine whether it will fit your space and usage needs.

The stove, sink and fridge set is a space-saving hero. It comes in mahogany melamine or white melamine and is fitted with a stylish stainless steel top that includes a single bowl and draining board. Next to such, is the compact electric plug-in stove with two plates. You can decide on whether to have the bowl on the left or right side. The unit is 930 mm high and the stainless steel top measures 1000 mm by 600 mm. It comes with a trendy swivel mixer that includes a goose-neck spout. It also has storage space underneath the sink that includes a hinged door for a well-rounded look. The bottom shelf is fixed, making it sturdy while the second shelf can be adjusted to your height needs. It comes with a waste, plug and trap. The 120-litre bar fridge features a convenient freezer section.

Versatility is at the core of the brand, evident in the fact that you can order the mini–unit in another combination as well. You can, for instance, get it as a sink and fridge set with no stove, a stove and sink with no fridge, a sink and cupboard only or a fridge set only. The choice is yours. View the mini kitchen unit here.

 

Choosing the Right Supplier Has Never Been Easier

Elegant, versatile, affordable, and functional describe the mini kitchen units available. Save money and maximise space usage with the products available from GEZA as your trusted supplier of affordable and high-quality furnishings for your property.

Effortless Renovations Using Deluxe Kitchen Units for Small Spaces

Given the amount of time spent in the kitchen, it is the one room in a house that deserves the best. However, renovations can cost a pretty dime or two. Keeping within a limited budget and still being able to give the room the make-over it deserves need not be an expensive endeavour. Before we get into the secrets of kitchen renovations possible for small spaces because of our compact, but luxuriously elegant units, let us consider why kitchen renovations are almost always a priority with home improvements in South Africa.

 

Why Kitchen Renovations – Even for Smaller Spaces?

It is the place where memories are made. Preparing food can be therapeutic if done in a lovely setting where the taps work, the counters are neat, and the space well utilised. In smaller apartments, this may not be the case. However, it is achievable when space is used right while essentials, such as taps, sinks, and cupboards should be in good working order. With these in place, it becomes a space where food preparation transforms from a chore to a delightful culinary journey. Here is why kitchen renovations, regardless of the home size, make a difference for the better:

 

Create Functional Spaces to Improve Efficiency

An uncoordinated layout creates confusion. It makes even the simplest of tasks difficult. Renovations make it possible to change awkward layouts to allow for minimal movement from the basin to the stove and the cupboards in small spaces. If you do not have plenty floor space, then minimising the need for people to walk from one work unit to another makes the difference between enjoying cooking and hating every moment of it.

 

Elevate the Space to Meet Your Usage Needs

Renovations are not necessary only to improve aesthetics. Perhaps the layout, storage space, and the functionalities of the kitchen no longer serve your needs. If that is the case, you will appreciate our compact stylish units even more.

 

Remodel to Meet Your Style Requirements

Renovations provide the means to create stylish kitchen spaces, fit for modern lifestyles. If the style is so yesterday, then the modern units available from us will certainly spruce up the interior to bring it into the 21^st century.

 

Increase Property Value

One of the quickest ways to improve the value of a property is to remodel the kitchen and bathroom. It has been proven over and over that these spaces are often the best-selling points of homes. If you want to up the chances of getting your property sold quickly in a depressed economy, then renovations with affordable, but elegant kitchen units should be your first priority.

 

Replace Energy-Hungry with Energy-Efficient

Electricity costs money. It is a monthly expense that most people budget for, simply because they have to and never with a smile. If it is at all possible to reduce energy usage for savings, then renovations with energy-efficiency in mind can do the trick. You get the chance to discard old and energy inefficient equipment with our modern all-in-one kitchen units to save space and electricity usage.

 

How Do You Make the Most of Kitchen Renovations for Small Spaces?

No doubt, you have ample reasons to consider the value of renovations, but what about homes with small spaces? Fortunately, we specialise in compact designs. That said, compact does not mean having to compromise on quality and functionality. Instead, it means getting more value and functionality with the best use of space. The units in our repertoire feature modern designs suitable even for the tiny house movement. With such in mind, every unit has the bells and whistles for optimal functionality and style without a hefty price tag attached to it. Let us look at our product stable of kitchen units, perfectly suited for small spaces.

 

Melamine Sink Unit

Measuring 900 mm x 460 mm, with a height of 855 mm, this melamine unit comes with a stainless steel sink top single bowl, with a spacious board for dish draining. The stainless steel top creates a hygienic environment that is rust-proof and easy to clean. The unit comes with two pillar cock taps, which are fixed to the bowl top. It features a subtle beauty with its white melamine cupboard, ensuring it fits the modern cooking space. It also comes with a convenient cupboard beneath, enclosed with two hinged doors. The bottom shelf is fixed while the top one can be adjusted to meet your storage requirements. It also includes the waste, trap, and plug. If you want a turnkey solution to replace an old sink and work area, then this is the compact unit that provides everything in one.

 

Steel Sink Unit

Favour the idea of steel above melamine? We cater to both tastes with the exceptionally durable steel unit that features sliding doors instead of the hinged doors.

Double Bowl Stainless Steel Sink Units and Other Ways to Save Kitchen Space

Almost all cooking queens, baking masters, entertainers, and those with a love for food dream of having a magnificent, enormous, country-style, or ultra-modern kitchen, but not everyone has that luxury. However, by making use of these organisation tips, storage tactics, and strategically purchasing the right pieces, such as a double bowl sink unit, we can imitate the idea. Do not allow yourself, your family, and friends to get depressed and settle for less? Follow these tips to plan your kitchen properly:

• Start by placing your double bowl sink unit, facing a window or an open-plan dining area.
• Draw a rough sketch of the layout to get a clear picture of what it will look like and where to make changes if necessary.
• Avoid traffic jams by keeping just the right amount of space between counters and other kitchen furniture.
• Your stove should be placed against an exterior wall to ensure a ventilation system is possible and affordable to install.
• Remember the importance of cupboards and storage, as counter space can always be maximised through pull-out prep stations.

Organising to Maximise Storage Space

For all tableware, you can allocate a deep cupboard and make use of rectangular containers to keep it simple and neat. These can serve as drawers that will not cost you a fortune, and still look stylish at the same time. By simply using a plank of the same material, you can split shelves into separate parts. This will eliminate space wastage of unused areas. It could potentially save you from having to get extra cabinets and losing more of the floor area. The trick to imitating a large fancy kitchen is to avoid cluttering up the room. By properly planning storage and organising accordingly, you solve this issue.

Some other useful purchases include drawer dividers, magnetic knife strips, over sink dish racks, and spice racks. Do not forget to install vertical cupboards for brooms, mops, and other tall items, also available from our comprehensive product stable of kitchen units.

Cabinet doors can also serve as storage solutions, with the help of hooks and rods to hang utensils, paper towels, and more. When you purchase a kitchen island, be sure to look for one that has shelving or cupboards to store cookbooks, mixers, blenders, and other appliances.

Often, open areas above counters and appliances go unused. These are not to be forgotten, as you can definitely save more space by hanging utensils, adding shelves, and utilising the given areas.

For Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s, and other holiday crockery and table décor, consider baskets and place them at the highest spots above all cabinet units. They do not need to be easily reachable, as you only use these once a year. You can always invest in a small step ladder if you do need to collect something higher up. Other creative ways to keep things organised in your kitchen include:

• Blackboards can assist you to plan out meals, allocate chores and duties, and leave messages without smothering the fridge with notes.
• New food goes in the back and old food in the front to make sure products do not go off and end up in the trash, costing you an arm and a leg.
• Combination stainless steel double sink units can save floor space and are already designed in a way to help with the organisation of the kitchen.
• Narrow spots between fridges or other large furniture and appliances can be perfect for pull-out shelves where spice containers, cans, and other food can be stored.
• If you are set on open shelving, then perhaps you should colour code the items, as it will look less like clutter and more like a style choice.
• Consider the installation of combination stainless steel sink units that include fridges or stoves to save more space.

That dream-like kitchen is a definite possibility if you focus on perfecting the layout of your workspace. Thus, getting a stainless-steel double bowl sink unit from the start is better than struggling with a single bowl sink unit and having to upgrade later anyway. Think ahead and save yourself from paying for expensive changes in the future. That said, if the space is exceptionally limited, such as can be the case in a granny flat or a compact family dwelling, our single bowl stainless steel sinks with fridges, cabinets, and stoves are the perfect solutions.

Available Kitchen Units

Aside from the already noted double bowl sink unit, there are many options available to fill the empty new kitchen that you have. From a combination stove and stainless-steel sink to stove, sink, and fridge units, your needs are met with our range of stylish, but affordable, compact units. The only question now is which unit will fit your kitchen layout and accommodate your budget? Below are some of the options that we have available:

• Mini and maxi stove, sink, and fridge units
• Gas hob and sink combination sets
• Single or double sink stand-alone units
• Stove, sink, fridge, and oven combos

Our Double Bowl Sink Unit

With this particular set, you can choose between two sizes. We supply 1,2 m and 1,5 m lengths. Both pieces feature stainless steel sinks, as well as melamine cupboards. Each of these units is fitted with three doors and one drawer to enhance storage ability and make preparation for all your dishwashing and cleaning needs.

The larger of the two is better suited to big families or those who have many dishes to do at once, because the other has a smaller area for drying and packing. With the swivel heads on their taps, it is easy to do the dishes, as you can adjust the tap to be out of the way. The double bowl and sink unit is a classic piece that can go with any kitchen and make daily chores less of a hassle.

Single Units for the Bachelor

Choose between stainless steel or melamine cupboards. The two options here are of the same size. The sinks on both units are made from stainless steel. This is a suitable option for those living alone or with few dishes to wash.

The single bowl stainless steel units come with fixed pillar taps and no drawers. Although smaller in stature, these units are still very useful in homes, bars, or studio apartments. No need to purchase a large piece if this one is exactly right for your house and budget.

Bigger Can Sometimes be Better

Of course, the combos available are a bit more sizeable, and you might wonder if your kitchen is big enough for these. The answer is yes, as these can actually be the pieces that save the most space.

With our gas hob and sink unit, you do not need multiple windows, as you can place both your dishwashing area and cooking spot in front of the same view. If you are still not satisfied, then a combination with a fridge installed is also available to make it even more economical. You get the satisfaction of choosing whether the wash station should be on the right or left and can enjoy this marvellous unit the way you want to.

The Ultimate All-In-One

Lastly, there is an even more enticing choice for you, which is a combination unit with all your kitchen needs added. It includes a fridge, freezer section, sink, and oven, as well as a small two-plate stove. Measuring 150 by 60 cm with a height of 93 cm, it does not take up all that much floor area.

If you want to fit a guest flat with a compact kitchen, then this is how you do it. The oven is small, but does have baking, convection, and other functions. A bar size fridge with a freezer section sits snugly in the middle of the unit. If you so decide, then you can skip out on the bar fridge to add your own full size one to your kitchen. If you have been pondering the idea of ample countertop and prep areas, then this is one way you can surely make it happen. After all, that is usually what makes a kitchen more comfortable than others.

Final Thoughts

By simply choosing the correct combination of all the necessary products, you can organise everything in no time. The quicker you start drawing that layout plan, the sooner you can create a functional and stylish kitchen. No house is complete without a fantastic kitchen to go with it, and we do not disappoint with our range of stainless-steel double and single bowl sink and combination units.
